Minakami, Gunma, Japan｜里山食堂

Visited on the way back from the snowy mountains. One of the facilities in Roadside Station Takumi no Sato. Order and pay the cash register first and take a seat. The building looks like a renovated old private house, and there are table seats, small raised areas, sunken hearths, tatami mats, table seats, and side-by-side counter seats. Water, tea, sobayu, serving, and returning are self-service. Order 1,100 yen for 100% tempura soba. The soba is chewy and uses 100% buckwheat flour from Minakami, which is rich in flavor and delicious. This day's tempura maitake mushrooms, pumpkin, vegetable kakiage and voluminous. In particular, the moment you put the maitake mushrooms in your mouth, you will be satisfied with the crispy batter and moist and fluffy maitake mushrooms. I plan on visiting again when I'm in the area.

We went on May 1, 2021. It was cold, so I had a warm tempura soba. It is a system that keeps the number after ordering and calls the number when it is completed. The interior of the restaurant is built in an old private house, and there is a hearth that makes you feel nostalgic. Soba noodles are chewy, and it feels like the soba noodles won't grow even with warm soup. The juice is not too thick or thin, just right. Tempura is mainly vegetables and has a crispy taste.

Even in the roadside station Takumi no Sato This is my favorite shop. It is said to be a renovated old house. It seems that the menu is limited due to Corona, but... Among them, Soybean flour ohagi and fried raw, miso konnyaku I love it. Namaage is recommended by the restaurant this time, I got it with soy sauce. It was always delicious with just soy sauce, but the flavor worked just fine, and the freshly fried ones were even more delicious. The atmosphere of the shop was also in the atmosphere of this shop, They are all cheerful and warm. It is a restaurant that I love so much that I have been there many times to eat at Satoyama Shokudo.
