Ibaraki
Jikyuan, Traditional Kenchin Soba
"Jikyuan" is located in the naturally rich mountain valley of Hitachiota City. It is a famous soba restaurant known only to those in the know, and queues form on weekends. The owner practices slash-and-burn farming, and the soba is made entirely in-house, from growing the buckwheat to milling it, resulting in fresh, chewy, and fragrant soba. In addition to the classic bamboo steamer soba, the topped kenchin soba is a must-try. Kenchin soba, a recreation of the good old Ibaraki local cuisine, is a masterpiece, with noodles that fall apart easily in a soup rich in dashi and vegetables.The interior, richly accented with wood, offers a calming ambience. Terrace and veranda seating are designated for guests with reservations for the "Traditional Kenchin Soba Set", providing an exclusive setting.
Although you can easily eat soba at home, eating it at a store is something different. There are famous soba restaurants in various parts of Japan such as Shinshu and Izumo, where you can enjoy exquisite hand-made soba noodles such as 100 percent soba noodles made without the use of fillers. Please come and visit us.
