Sanda, Hyogo, Japan｜Ikken-ya

I really wanted to go to this place really really bad. I love maccha 🍵 and I love buckwheat noodle— this place has maccha buckwheat noodle!!! They also have amazing warabi mochi💜 and good maccha tea to go with it. The place is old Japanese house and has no AC—FYI it didn’t bother me though. We went there on Tuesday so it was just us and three other small groups. I heard they have waiting list on weekends. Bathroom: I was expecting a hole in outhouse but no. It was outhouse but equipped with washlet!! If you want to see old Japanese architecture experience this is it!!!

It's a very nice place. I ate cha soba and warabi mochi with my elementary and junior high school children. It was very delicious. My daughter said that the rice balls were very delicious😋 and ate them happily. Landscapes and buildings are also a great experience for children these days. The air was very sweet.

You can enjoy a leisurely meal in the midst of nature. It was a little cool even in midsummer, probably because it was on top of a mountain. The soba is chewy and delicious, and it comes with warabi mochi and rice balls, making it a great value🍙
