そば彩蕎子
"Soba Saikyoshi" is nestled in the Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings in Izushi Town, Toyooka City, Hyogo Prefecture—an area that preserves the charm of the Edo period (1603–1868). Just a step away from the modern world, passing through the noren curtain welcomes you into a warm space centered around a traditional earthen-floored doma interior (tataki-doma, a packed-earth floor typical of old Japanese homes). This cozy soba restaurant is known for its white handmade soba noodles, made by removing the black outer skin of buckwheat and stone-grinding only the inner white core. The result is smooth noodles with subtle sweetness and refined texture. The menu features local specialty "Izushi Sara Soba", served on small plates of Izushi-yaki pottery, as well as "Nishin Soba", "Oroshi Soba", and "Sobagaki". Udon and a selection of locally curated sake are also available.
