Itako, Ibaraki, Japan｜宇野澤庵竹童

A soba restaurant with the best cost performance. I used it during the Iris Festival. The restaurants around the festival venue were very crowded, but we were able to enter this restaurant without waiting. First of all, I was surprised at how cheap the menu was. I received a large set of soba + seafood bowl (1200 yen). The taste wasn't all that delicious, but it was satisfying. The service was also quick, about 10 minutes. Tatami seats x 3, table seats x 1, counter seats x 6

Daily set meals are the best value for money 😭 The store has a nice feel and is easy to enter. A huge portion of sashimi, grilled fish, tempura, small side dishes, and salads! The soba noodles were also delicious. postscript It seemed like it was closed for about 10 days for Obon, but I heard that it had reopened, so I went there with Kami-san. I ordered the grilled fish soba set, and Kami ordered the fillet cutlet soba set. Freshly grilled cod with a squeeze of lemon and a bit of spicy grated daikon go well with it! The cutlet was nice and crispy, and the small bowl was served with winter melon sauce. I think it's the best value for money as it comes with iced coffee after the meal.

Cospa is the best! Both soba and seafood are very delicious! It seems to be a shop that is loved by local customers, but the staff was very kind to us as well.
