The owner's surname is also strongly connected to history, and he was allowed to call himself "Kami - nobu" because of the "Nobu" of Enryaku - ji Temple on Mt.

It is also deeply moving to be able to enjoy the handmade soba noodles that have been handed down since the establishment of the restaurant in the traditional land and building.
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.
