Chikusei, Ibaraki, Japan｜そば処二城

I visited "Soba Restaurant Niko" for the first time to eat lunch during my touring 🏍️♪ It's a gravel parking lot, so I parked my bike on the cobblestones at the back of the parking lot. Now, I was worried about what to order, but I ended up ordering the kakiage (shared), a boiled offal set meal that the reviewers said was delicious🥳 A large serving of soba...(I'll regret it later😭) As per the reviews, the giblets are soft and go well with rice 😎👍 The soba is thick soba similar to country soba, and the soba soup was delicious with a sweet soup that matched the thickness 🥰 The kakiage was crispy fried, and when I dipped it in sweet soba soup and put it on top of rice, it tasted like a tempura bowl and was delicious🤩 But there was one thing that failed... The amount of soba is very large 🤣 I'm glad it was a regular portion lol I thought it was the top, but it turned out to be full 😱 My partner ordered a large portion, but he said he might not be able to eat dinner. The store was run by a beautiful female owner, so the waiting time when it was crowded was charming. It was very delicious! Thank you for the meal😋

I visited alone at noon. The parking lot is small and the entrance street is quite narrow (it's tough for people like Rankle). The seats are at a table in a tatami room. As expected, the soba was delicious. The atmosphere was like eating soba at my grandparents' house (partly because it was summer).

As other people have written, the shop is just down a narrow road and the parking lot is narrow. However, buckwheat goes down smoothly and can be eaten like a drink. I had a large serving of Morisoba, and I was very satisfied with the amount. It seemed that there were about 3 servings of other soba restaurants (depending on individual subjectivity). I felt that the delivery time was quite early, probably because the busy time was over.
