The restaurant is quite small with only 5 tables and offers a simple menu that is a little more expensive than usual. It has a good reputation and is ranked quite highly among soba shops in this area.
I ordered a platter of seasonal vegetables for two including some wild or forest vegetables gathered in the mountains. On the back of the menu the chef has written details about the ingredients he uses in the dishes including the soy sauce which is apparently the best in Japan.
The vegetable platter had a subtle flavor and included tomato, sweet potato, yam paste as well as forest or mountain vegetable. We also had ‘tsukemono’ or Japanese pickles which were cucumber, carrot and white radish that also had a subtle and not overly salty flavor.
When the soba arrived it seemed to be not very much but was served on a bamboo basket and looked delicious. It came with a bowl, a flask of soba soup and some condiments or relish. You are meant to first put the soup into the bowl, then the soba and finally add condiments to your own taste. When I did this I found that the flavor was not as strong as I would like and it tasted a little weak. I had high expectations of the restaurant given its reputation but was disappointed however the soba itself was delicious even though the soup lacked flavor. The silky smoothness of the excellent soba really deserves to be served with a rich and tasty soup. In addition the amount of soba was not really enough and had I known this when ordering I would have asked for the large size for an extra 200 yen.In conclusion I would have say that while the soba was good there are many better soba restaurants around for you to try.
