Hakuba, Nagano, Japan｜Maeda

Only open for lunch so do come when they open. Supposedly very crowded but ample space even when arriving at 1115am. Their tempura was amazing and so was the cold udon. Amazing prices for the quality.

Amazing small shop with delicious soba and udon noodles. Some of the best texture noodles. A great winter time meal when it's cold out

Possibly some of the best ramen Ive had in Japan. The tempura batter was delicious and it went all soft after being in the soup. The noodles were so delicious! Cooked go perfection, cooked enough so they're soft, but firm at the same time? Staff were pleasant and prompt and also spoke English. Free green tea is definitely a plus! Seems to be quite traditional style, but I'm not Japanese so I could be wrong. Will definitely get back here if I can!
