Okayama, Japan｜手打ち蕎麦 青空亭

Although the soba soup was a bit small, the tempura soba came with an extra walnut soba soup. The soup was surprisingly delicious. They had the rumored umeboshi tempura! I was surprised by the chopstick rest made of shelled peanuts. Of course I ate and went home! I'd like to stop by again if I'm nearby.

We arrived just after the store opened, but the parking space in front of the entrance was already full. I used the parking space in the vacant lot across the street. Since it was my first time, I didn't know exactly how to park even after looking at the signboard, but I was grateful that a man in my neighborhood who was passing by showed me how to park and how to get out. Even though it had just opened, the store was crowded with customers. I ordered meat sobazaru and sushi rolls. The hot, rich dipping sauce mixed with the soba noodles and was very delicious. In addition to cash, PayPay was available for payment, but the signal was poor and the app wouldn't launch, so I paid in cash. This is a store I would like to visit again.

It was a delicious soba that went down my throat. The tempura was crispy, and the unusual pickled plums and mini tomatoes were delicious. It's fun to say that the chopstick rest is a peanut in the shell.
