Ichihara, Chiba, Japan｜Asahi-ya

Had lunch here after getting off train. Had one of the best soba in Japan! We had 'wild vegetable soba', it was delicious. The menu is not in English but we managed to use Google translation to understand it. The two ladies (owners?) were super sweet even though they don't speak English. When we warmly complimented the dish, they were so happy that they brought us mochi and fruits!

It is approximately a 1-minute walk from Yoro Keikoku Station on the Kominato Line of the Kominato Railway, and is located right next to the station. As a measure to prevent infection, disinfectant is available and each seat is socially distanced. The store is spacious and has seats and table seats. I came to the store alone on a hot day of 34 degrees outside. I ordered the chilled wild vegetable soba and it was carefully prepared. They include warabi, bamboo shoots, zenmai mushrooms, and shimeji mushrooms, and they are very original and delicious. Very good food and restaurant on a hot day.

Very convenient because it is in front of the station. The wild vegetable soba looked delicious, but I ate it near the station, so I gave up! (Additional note) When I paid the bill and bought a cup that was sold in the store, I received pickled cucumbers as a souvenir. It is a journey of humanity.
