Tsuchiura, Ibaraki, Japan｜常陸秋そば 筑山亭 かすみの里

It was my second visit. At this restaurant, you can enjoy 5 types of soba noodles that change daily, in addition to the usual soba noodles made with milled flour. Sarashina soba, country soba, aged soba, round soba, and juwari soba. Last time, I had country soba, but it was irresistible for me, a soba lover, with a strong aroma and a strong flavor of soba. This time I had aged soba, which was my first time eating aged soba, but I can imagine that it would be very delicious even if you eat it with a warm soup that is slightly sweet and chewy. When the shop is empty, the shopkeeper will come to the table and tell you various things. It's a good shop with a friendly owner. Looking forward to the next daily soba 😊

I ate soba and carp tempura😋 It was delicious. Coffee ☕ is also delicious 😋

I visited with the idea that I would try Hitachi Aki Soba as well. The store was next to a large park. The store is clean. The staff at the restaurant are friendly and the menu is quite extensive. From a la carte dishes to various types of soba noodles, tempura menus (not only vegetable tempura, but also lotus root tempura and kakiage with white fish from Lake Kasumigaura), there is also a sweets menu that rivals any cafe. I'm quite confused. It's a restaurant where you can sit back and relax while waiting for your soba noodles. You can eat the soba noodles that you just have to wait for. Soba is a thick and firm type. However, it is quite smooth in the throat. I also felt a sense of transparency. The soup is quite strong, so just add a little bit to the soba noodles. It's chewy, so it's satisfying to eat. Tempura is crispy. Takuan has a homemade taste. It looks like they also have Hitachino Nest Beer. There are also flavors such as yuzu and mandarin orange, so even women who don't usually drink beer can enjoy this beer. It might also go well with kakiage. I can't drink driver... The restrooms were also clean. (important) Next time I'll try something like fried white fish or lotus root tempura (single item). Also, honey pudding etc.
