Inaka Soba Den
A farmhouse soba restaurant on the edge of rice paddies and a residential area in Yahata, Ichihara. The country-style soba, ground stone-mill from skin-on organic Hokkaido buckwheat, is limited to about 20 servings per day and often sells out right at opening. Google Maps 4.5, 157 reviews. The warm atmosphere of the couple-run old farmhouse with irori seating is beloved. Regulars call it 'the best soba shop in Ichihara.' Terrace seating and pets welcome.
"Came after noon not knowing it sold out — regretted it deeply. Next time I'll line up before opening." "Worth the trip to Ichihara just for this taste." "You can feel the care the couple puts into each bowl." "The irori farmhouse atmosphere is outstanding."
