Hitachiomiya, Ibaraki, Japan｜そば屋 竹辰

Only open on Fridays and Saturdays. The word of mouth of soba is good, so I ordered wild vegetable mushroom soba! It was worth the wait, and I was satisfied with the volume. The shop said udon is recommended, so I'd like to order it next time ^ _ ^ Please wait because it is crowded.

This is a shop I've been interested in for a long time, but I couldn't go to because I thought it would be crowded. I suddenly came up with the idea and visited the place just before 12 o'clock on Friday. Luckily, I got in with zero waiting time! About 5 customers came after me, but the soba noodles were sold out quickly. I was told that zaru soba is popular this time of year, so I received a recommendation. The color of the soba was jet black and the texture was chewy, which was a first for me. It was delicious, but the sign inside the store said, ``Udon is recommended over soba,'' so I think I'll try the udon next time. lol It was a normal portion, and it was quite large, so much so that I was worried that I wouldn't be able to finish it all. The staff seemed to be working together and were very busy, but it was very pleasant and my stomach and heart were full. The parking lot is quite narrow and the entrance is on a steep slope, so it might be a bit difficult for large cars.

When I arrived at 11 o'clock, there were about 10 customers in line, and 4 people were sitting on log chairs outside the store. The first person came out at 11:30. It was 12 o'clock when we entered the store. I ordered zaru soba. It was a normal portion, but it was a large portion and the noodles were hard, making it my first time eating soba. ☺️ It was delicious. It seems like they are a husband and wife, and we talked a little while paying the bill. 🤗 Thank you for the delicious soba noodles. 😊
