Omachi, Nagano, Japan｜Kobayashi

6/22/2023 In my opinion, this is one of the top five famous Shinshu soba restaurants. While Kobayashi in Matsumoto, a relative of this restaurant, seems to only cater to tourists due to its prices (in short, it's expensive), I think this restaurant still has a lot of local customers. We arrived at Omachi in just over an hour by car from Matsumoto in the rain. I was excited to eat Kobayashi soba today, so I had two pieces of mori soba and burdock tempura. (1750 yen...cheap) Soba is made from the core of buckwheat noodles and is highly transparent and aromatic. It's so smooth that you can eat as much as you want. In fact, if I were to be crucified within the next two or three years, Kobayashi buckwheat might be a good choice for my ``Last Supper.''

This is a handmade soba restaurant in Shinshu. It's natural that it's delicious since it's authentic, but I ate the seasonal wakasagi tempura in a colander. I made a large serving, but it was an amazing amount, exceeding the large serving. The soba was flat and handmade, and the tempura was crispy and delicious. You can't go wrong with this long-established soba restaurant. The price is also reasonable.

Two generations of parents and children have been coming here for over 50 years since the time of the old building. After all, soba is stable.Whether it's summer or winter, you can have two slices of soba or a large serving of grated soba.
