Matsumoto, Nagano, Japan｜Motoki Kaichi Shop

The soba was delicious and the broth was the best I've had yet. Great location for a visit to Matsumoto Castle. We were also very grateful to the staff for being so willing to help us order in our limited Japanese; they were very patient and pleasant.

Best soba ever... English service friendly... Highly recommended...

I went there after 1:00 pm during the November 2013 holiday, but there were 6 to 7 groups waiting. I registered in front of the store and waited to be called, but the time passed quickly as I talked to my family. I chose this restaurant because it had a parking lot, but I was able to try ginjo soba for the first time, and it went down so well that I could easily eat it with two sieves. The tempura shrimp tempura is also big and plump, making it a delicious restaurant that's worth the wait. As for the parking lot, if you look carefully at the information signboard, you can park about 15 cars in two locations, which was helpful. Thank you for the meal.
