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.
Handmade soba refers to soba noodles crafted by hand without the use of machines. Soba made by skilled artisans boasts outstanding flavor and texture. The soba-making process includes steps such as mizu mawashi (mixing water with buckwheat flour), kneading, rolling, and cutting. Among these, mizu mawashi and kneading are particularly important for bringing out the best qualities of the ingredients. The technique of incorporating water into the buckwheat flour and kneading it enhances the flavor of the soba, resulting in delicious noodles created through meticulous effort.
