Myoko, Niigata, Japan｜そば処 せきがわ

The restaurant is an old-fashioned house with a nostalgic atmosphere that makes you feel like you've visited a relative's house in the countryside. Anyway, the soba here is delicious. Soba noodles have a chewy flavor and a soba flavor that comes through your nose without adding anything. The dipping sauce is also thick and has a flavor that I like. The tempura is also mainly made with vegetables, and this time I tried a lot of tempura for the first time, including bitter gourd, moroheiya, shishitokara, okra, pumpkin, eggplant, shimeji mushrooms, and perilla leaves. I ordered the yam soba, and the yam had a strong flavor and a crunchy texture that felt like it had been ground by hand. Cream anmitsu after a meal is also great. I happened to be passing by, so I stopped by for the first time last year and was so impressed that I finally got to eat here again this year. This is a soba restaurant I like so much that I would go there once a week if it were in my neighborhood. I heard from the owner that the store is closed and not open during the snowy season, so if you like soba restaurants, please come by and visit this place when it's not snowing. I recommend it.

The taste of soup that makes you feel relieved! Both the soba and tempura were delicious, and I was deeply moved by the freshly harvested wild vegetable tempura. It was delicious and I had a second soba. Kakiage bowl is also recommended!

The store is like a hideaway, and the parking lot is shared with the road museum. Both the soba and vegetable tempura were very good and the price was cheap.
