What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Authentic handmade soba served in a charming renovated old inn along the approach to Ishiyama-dera Temple. Their pride is the 'Sandate' method — freshly milled buckwheat from Marugame in Fukui Prefecture, made into noodles on the same day. Selected as Tabelog Soba WEST 100 Restaurants 2025 (the only shop in Otsu City). Tabelog 3.59/192 reviews, saved 5,765. Yahoo Maps 3.73/32. Soba of true artisan quality, often compared to Michelin-level establishments. Lunch only, closes when sold out.

Reviews say 'Soba that wouldn't be out of place in Michelin,' 'I always stop by after visiting Ishiyama-dera Temple,' 'The dedication to Fukui buckwheat noodles made with Ishiyama spring water comes through in every bite,' and 'The rarity of only being able to eat here at lunch makes you want to come back.'
