Chino, Nagano, Japan｜Katsuyama soba

From Mt. Kushigata, I was heading north on Route 20 to go to Minowa, where I would be staying for the night. Wanting to wash off my sweat after climbing the mountain, I turned right at the sign that read Kinnanjara Onsen. Although the important hot spring was temporarily closed, there is a soba shop next to it. Although I'm hungry, I can't stomach it for tonight's kaiseki dinner at the inn. Soba is just right. Eat a piece of Mori Soba. This is delicious. I don't really talk much about soba noodles, but it's good when it goes down my throat. Lately, I have been favoring Fukui's lumpy noodles, thinking that Nagano's soba is too elegant, but I felt like I was confronted with the essence of soba here. I wonder if the dark color is leftover buckwheat hulls. This is also good. I may have exaggerated the sentence because I had heard Hakuzan Kanda's lecture. Well then, I hope you're happy with the rest.

I visited again the other day and was told that the first and third Tuesdays were closed in addition to Wednesdays. You can enjoy fragrant and delicious soba all year round. In addition, the soba soup here is the best match for both soba and delicious tempura. Soba soup with a deep taste of soup stock is the best. Wild vegetables such as cod sprouts and mushrooms such as Jikobo are also served in season, and I look forward to each season.

A long-established soba restaurant in the Suwa area. Recommended for eating delicious Shinshu soba! 🅿 Space is limited, so be careful!
