Nikko, Tochigi, Japan｜Yamajo

It’s a good sign when you see grandmas and grandads making soba. The ambience is homely and cosy, the service is warm, and the soba is really delicious. Had the warm soba, which was perfect for a cold gloomy day. I hope they keep going!

This restaurant is run by a husband and wife who seem to be kind and cheerful. I got tempura soba. The freshly fried crispy tempura and chewy soba noodles were very delicious.

It was a very delicious soba with a proper soba aroma! The soup stock was delicious and I drank it all. It's empty, probably because it's a little far from the station, but it's a very nice restaurant. It's right near the suspension bridge. It seemed like the couple were managing the whole thing together. Recommended!
