This is the birthplace of Oeyama's specialty, "Oni Soba", a beloved dish for over 160 years since the Edo period. "Oni Soba" refers to thick, firm, 100% buckwheat soba noodles, handmade from domestically grown whole buckwheat and milled in-house. The name is said to have originated from the phrase "kowai (hard) ki (raw) soba," which became "ki (oni=devil) soba" and eventually evolved into "Oni soba." While the traditional way to enjoy "Oni Soba" is as "Kake soba (served in hot broth)", the seventh-generation owner has continued to innovate with new creations. In addition to the popular "Toriten soba (soba topped with chicken tempura)", guests can enjoy a diverse range of soba noodles with different thicknesses and serving styles, as well as local specialities such as "Maizuru fish pickles (regional fish)" and "Yamabuki no Umani (mountain butterbur simmered in sweet soy sauce)".
