At "Juwari Soba Takara-ya," diners can enjoy aromatic 100% buckwheat soba freshly ground on a millstone daily. Located in a renovated old house that retains its traditional charm, the restaurant is popular among locals and tourists. The broth, made with soy sauce from Iwate's Kido Soy Sauce Shop, pairs perfectly with the soba. Plans are underway to offer online sales, making this delicacy accessible nationwide.
Because buckwheat flour lacks the stickiness needed to form noodles, binders like wheat flour (which contains gluten), seaweed, or yam are often added. However, soba made solely from buckwheat flour and water, without any binders, is known as juwari soba. Artisans who craft juwari soba need exceptional skills in handmade techniques. One of the main features of juwari soba is that, since it's made only with buckwheat flour and water, you can enjoy the pure flavor, aroma, and texture of the buckwheat without any additives.

大江山 鬼そば屋
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)".
