Visit this Famous Kawara Soba Restaurant in Mojiko
"Takase, Kawara Soba, Mojiko Retro," located a five-minute walk from JR Mojiko Station, attracts visitors from all over Japan for its local dish, "Kawara Soba," a specialty of Yamaguchi Prefecture. Founder Shinichi Takase was inspired by soldiers using roofing tiles to grill wild herbs and meat, leading to the creation of "Kawara Soba" using aged Japanese roofing tiles and a unique recipe. This dish features green tea soba elegantly garnished with beef, shredded egg, seaweed, grated maple leaves, lemon, and other toppings, served with a slightly sweet original broth, allowing for a delicate balance of flavors.
