Ena, Gifu, Japan｜手打ちそば風和厘

I wanted to eat somewhere nearby and found this place. The store was in a peaceful location with a lot of nature and a nice atmosphere. Also, this seems to be popular, and there was a waiting list of about 5 groups ahead of us. This time I ordered "Tenzaru" (1430 yen including tax). It was chewy, had a nice buckwheat aroma, and was delicious! The tempura was fried crispy and the oil didn't feel too heavy. I would like to go again when I'm nearby.

I was planning to eat soba for lunch at the roadside station Rassei Misato, but perhaps because it was a public holiday, it was very crowded with 50 groups waiting even after 1pm! Since I was traveling, I couldn't wait, so I searched for a nearby soba restaurant on Google Maps and found this one. As I was navigating the mountain path without any familiarity with the area, I was worried whether there really was a store in such a place or if it was an old store, but when I arrived, I was relieved to find a new store with a cute atmosphere. . It is run by a couple, and the wife welcomed us kindly. There are two table seats for four people and six counter seats facing the window. The green mountains outside the window are beautiful and I feel good. The soba made by the host had very thin noodles but was chewy and very filling. The tempura is freshly fried and crispy! There are also rice dishes such as tempura bowl, takikomi gohan, and yamakake gohan. They are all delicious! We were also served warabi mochi for dessert, which was also delicious! It is said to be homemade using amanatto. There are many golf courses in the area, so there seem to be a lot of male customers, but the shop has an atmosphere that women like and is easy to come by, so I recommend it!

It has a quiet and relaxing appearance. Both soba and tempura were delicious. Warabi mochi was very delicious.
