Myoko, Niigata, Japan｜Hiramaru

This is a shop in the food court on the first floor of a public facility called Ikiiki Plaza. Short and thick hand-made soba, the more you chew, the more delicious it becomes. The menu changes with the seasons, and there is a fun menu, such as a buffet of wild vegetable dishes, and a lunch set of soba noodles where you can eat several kinds of country-style side dishes. This time I had "Mushroom soba". Soba noodles and mushrooms are very satisfying with plenty of volume! Homemade pickles are also delicious, and it feels like I came to grandma's house. Another nice point is that you can drink sobayu freely at the counter. We also recommend the patissier-style sweets made by the charming owner! We sometimes sell local vegetables and wild plants.

I ate mushroom soba. It was delicious and had lots of mushrooms. I received wild boar cookies.

The downside is that it gets crowded with a lot of local regulars.
