2023/7/1 Today is the 1st, so I went to Oiwake Chaya and had [Tsukegamo udon two-tiered (1,210 yen)]. This was my second time having udon here. Of course, the duck meat in the soup was chewy, and the green onions were soaked in the soup. The soup was a little thick, but I think it's just the right seasoning to eat with udon. The two-tiered udon was full, but it was delicious. 2023/4/1 Since the month has changed, I had two levels of rural soba noodles at Oiwakechaya for lunch today. A couple next to the counter said, "It's my first time here, but it's delicious when I look at the customers." It seems that he came from Iida, and it was lunchtime, so he happened to enter. There was a lot of talk about climbing Mt. Jimbagata, Meiji-tei for sauce cutlet bowls, and cherry blossoms in Takato. 2023/1/6 I went to Oiwake teahouse to eat soba noodles that I had passed over the year. I always eat pork kakuni soba, so today I ordered Kamonan soba. The duck meat was tender and delicious. 8/3/2022 Today's lunch is hot, so I went to Oiwake Chaya and ate a refreshing [Chilled Umekoro Udon]. As expected, I had plum and wasabi mixed with chewy noodles and it was refreshing. 2022/6/19 On Father's day, I received a craft beer and snack set from my eldest son's wife. My second son treated me to Umekoro Soba from Oiwakechaya. Father's Day was not forgotten. 2022/4/10 For lunch, I had grated shrimp soba from Oiwakechaya. From April, it will be open from 17:00 to 20:00 only on Fridays and Saturdays. 2021/5/26 I went to "Oiwake Chaya" for lunch with three generations of parents and children. I had two country soba noodles, my mother had a small serving of pork kakuni soba noodles, and my son had three country soba noodles. It was delicious. ❤ 2020/12/2 "Oiwake Chaya" Soba Noodles with Braised Pork "It's a cold day, fogging up my glasses and sipping soba" The thick braised pork is soft anyway. If you apply a little pressure to the lean meat, instead of chewing it, it will loosen into fibers and spread in your mouth. Also, if you put a lot of fat in your mouth, the meat juices that seep out of the fat will explode in your mouth, and it will penetrate from the tip of your tongue where you can feel the sweetness. attack. If you slurp down warm soba noodles, you will feel a tsunami of satisfaction. Add green onions and ginger as condiments, and slurp it down again, filling your mouth with the scent of ginger and pouring it into your esophagus at once. The soba noodles, the soup, and the ginger made me feel depressed. By the time I finished eating, I put my jacket on the tatami mat and unbuttoned the top button of my shirt. Satisfied and satisfied today. (smile) 2019/10/25 "Oiwake Chaya" of soba udon opened for the first time in about two weeks. I immediately went to eat soba. It was a little chilly, so I ate duck nanban soba and saw the owner's happy and round face, which warmed my body and soul. It's raining and the weather is getting colder, so please take care of yourself.

I love the duck nanban udon here. If you want to eat so much, it will take 70 minutes by car. This time around 13:00, I ordered Kamonan udon (small), duck dipping soup, and a tempura platter. Kamonan Udon is a clear soup with thin noodles, grilled green onions and duck meat, and a good soup stock that you can drink up to the soup. Seiro's dipping sauce has a really good taste and a large amount. There was plenty of soba water after the meal, so it was a soup that made me want to break it little by little and drink it. Kamonan (small) was a mistake. I will return to (normal) next time. I felt that the locals often ordered Kamonan udon or tempura udon.
