Hokuto, Yamanashi, Japan｜田舎手打ちそば くろべえ

The shop owner's father's parents' house built in the early Showa era has been renovated, and the interior has an atmosphere that makes you feel like you've come to visit your grandfather or grandmother in the countryside. The garden in front of me was meticulously maintained, and the rice fields and green mountains in the back made me feel nostalgic as if I had seen it in the past. The female employee's response was soft and pleasant, and the attention to the customers was very wonderful, as there was a special attention to the women's restroom that is not found in ordinary soba restaurants.

The owner has written on the front door that the soup is sweet. It's definitely a sweet soup, and I think it matches the flavor of the soba and is delicious. The aroma of soba spreads every time you take a bite, and the thick, cotton-like noodles at the top make their presence known. When you finish eating, you'll be served a bowl of soba-yu, which is sure to leave you satisfied with the melty soba-yu. I always end up ordering the store's most popular item, Tenzaru, while thinking of something different each time. Everyone, please try it.

I had lunch with my family. The staff was pleasant, the handmade soba noodles were chewy, and the tempura was crispy and lightly battered. I also ate boiled offal, fried chicken, and fried chicken, and they were all delicious.
