Komoro, Nagano, Japan｜Harikoshi-Tei

R5.10 A wedding will be held at Nakadanaso, and I visited there for a meeting. Reservations are required for lunch, so please make a reservation in advance before visiting. Harikoshi-tei is an old folk house and has been designated as a registered tangible cultural property. It's an old house, so the ceiling is low. If you are tall, you should be careful not to hit your head. The atmosphere is calm, but there are many people with children, so you can relax and have a good time. On that day, I received boiled soba noodles. This soba is a specialty of Komoro, and is a dish in which soba noodles are dipped in a pot of fried tofu and vegetables. It is similar to Touji soba, a specialty of Matsumoto's Nagawa River. The soy sauce-based soup was piping hot, and the soba noodles were fragrant and delicious. From October to April, we have Hatsukoi apple baths at Nakadanaso. How about having lunch at Harikoshitei while taking a bath in the hot springs?

This is a soba restaurant located in an old private house attached to Nakadanaso, which was a purveyor to Toson Shimazaki. Visited just before 12pm on a holiday. There was only a short wait time, but there was a line after that, so I think it's best to visit early. The specialty is ``Harikoshi soba'' which is also the name of the restaurant. There were four of us, and we ordered a large bowl of walnut soba, nikkake soba (2 servings), and colorful vegetable soba. Everyone said it was delicious and they were very satisfied. Personally, I recommend the boiled soba noodles. It was simmering right in front of me, and the flavor of the vegetables gradually came out, making it very delicious. The walnut soba had an elegant taste, and the colorful vegetable soba had a unique beetroot soup (reddish-purple). Even though it was crowded, the staff calmly set up seats for me at my own pace, so I was able to enjoy my meal slowly (people waiting in line might get a little irritated). You can park your car at the nearby Nakadanaso parking lot. There was also a parking space reserved for motorcycles. Thank you for the meal.

It's a very cool and relaxing old folk house shop. The walnut soba I ate was very delicious with walnut paste added to the soba noodles.
