Hitachiomiya, Ibaraki, Japan｜そば家 麦藁

Stopped by on the way to Hitachinaka Seaside Park. Of course it was my first visit. Arrived 5 minutes before opening on weekdays. The parking lot is gravel, but it seems like it can park about 10 cars. The noren curtains weren't out yet, but the shop staff told me to go ahead. I'm the first one. The interior of the store has a calm atmosphere reminiscent of an old folk house. There seem to be 5 tables and a tatami room in the back. I ordered a lunch set and duck Tsuke Soba. It can't be helped due to timing, but I think it's a new soba. Maybe from November. The rice bowl is ready in about 10 minutes. As mentioned in other reviews, the lunch set is very filling. Today it's tuna yamakake don. It also comes with tempura and is good value for money. The soba noodles are also chewy and delicious. It also smells good. The duck was delicious too. Recommended.

There was a little time until the store opened, but since it was a sunny day, I was able to sit on a chair outside and wait. Autumn has arrived, and today I feel like heaven. Just the right amount for a man. The amount of soba is just right, and the tempura has a wide variety of shrimp, green peppers, broccoli, eggplant, pumpkin, and maitake mushrooms. On the table, there is salt and fragrant shichimi. Tempura can be served with salt or dipped in soup. After eating the soba noodles, lightly season the soba soup with the remaining soup and shichimi. Jazz was playing comfortably in the store, and we had a great time. If you are a young person, you may want to add a rice bowl as well. I am grateful that I was able to meet another good shop.

We had lunch. This is a restaurant where you can enjoy the best food every time you go, with the aroma of the soba noodles, the deliciousness of the tuna yamakake-don, and the tempura made with seasonal vegetables. Now 1,500 yen is too cheap. Although I didn't order it this time, the corn kakiage is also great. It seems that they purchase from the production area at that time of year, and in May there was one from Kumamoto Prefecture. This is a restaurant that you will want to go to again when you want to eat soba.
