Oyama, Tochigi, Japan｜Ogawaya

Visited after 13:00 on Thursday, March 2, 2023. I didn't know that a parking lot was built at the back of the building, making it easier to get there, so I parked in the front parking space. When I entered the store, it was empty and I took a seat by the window. I learned from other people's menu photos that they had a lunch menu, and the Tendon set looked delicious, so I ordered the Tendon set for 900 yen when I visited. When ordering, I was told that I could receive a soft drink by presenting my JAF membership card, so I presented my membership card and ordered an iced coffee. While waiting for the food to be served, three groups of customers arrived. The dish is served in about 5 minutes, with thinly sliced ​​soba and mentsuyu. condiments and pickles. Just the right amount of tempura bowl. The tempura bowl has 5 ingredients: shrimp, eggplant, sweet potato, kamaboko, and broccoli. The soba noodles go down easily, and you dip them into the dark mentsuyu and take a bite. delicious. The tempura bowl is topped with a sweet sauce, which soaks into the rice and tastes delicious when eaten with the toppings. Just as I was about to finish both the soba and tempura bowl without missing a single grain, I was served soba soup, and just as I was about to finish it, I was served iced coffee after the meal. I was satisfied with both the taste and the service. For cashless payment, only PayPay or credit card can be used. I finished eating it in no time. Personally, I think it was better than the soba restaurant in Nikko. I'll come back later.

Go strawberry picking to a small mountain. I entered the restaurant around 11:40, and it was almost full, with only one tatami seat available, so I was able to take a seat. It was my first time here, but I realized that it was a popular soba restaurant. I ordered Goshiki Soba, but since I am allergic to shellfish, is it possible to change the shrimp tempura? I asked, and they kindly accepted. The soba noodles were also hand-made, and although they were sometimes thick, the soba flavor that wafted through my nose was nice. The soup was not too salty and was perfect for me. The rice balls served were small, but the rice was delicious and good.

It was very nice to have children's chairs, tableware, and a children's menu, making it easy to visit with children. Everything on the lunch menu looked so delicious that I couldn't decide. I ordered the katsudon and udon set. It was really delicious. I also appreciated the reasonable pricing. I'd definitely like to stop by again if I'm nearby.
