Utsunomiya, Tochigi, Japan｜生蕎麦 みどり野山本

I went on a Sunday around 2pm. My partner's chilled tanuki soba (large serving) was huge and covered in lots of toppings. It's like a challenge menu. However, the flavor was delicious. I'm glad that they were kind enough to let me know if there wasn't enough soup! Thank you for the meal~😄

Udon Soba. This is a classic soba restaurant that serves katsudon and other dishes. Although it is sometimes open irregularly, the soba and rice dishes are very delicious. The parking lot is small, so it would be best to use a nearby supermarket instead.

I stopped by just before closing time for lunch. A delicious father's restaurant. It was a hot day, but I was curious about the curry nanban and had a large portion. Curry Nanban soba with Nanami and curry soup served in a large bowl. She said that you can add green onions separately if you like. There's more curry stock than the soba, but it's surprisingly well-balanced with the soft soba noodles. The curry soup seems to be made by adding traditional curry powder to a flavorful soup stock, and it has a slightly bitter taste, but it is nostalgic and at the same time whets the appetite. The katsudon set my son ordered had a traditional feel to it. The quantity was also at a level that would satisfy young people. My companion who ordered monkey tempura also had tempura, and the shrimp was nice and light. The chilled raccoon dog is served with shiso leaf and seaweed tempura, which shows that he is confident in his tempura as well. It was delicious, thank you for the meal.
