Fake reviews removed

An artisan handmade soba restaurant on Kumamoto's Kaminoura-dori. Famous for grinding only the day's flour fresh each morning using a stone mill. Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient and selected for Tabelog Soba WEST Top 100 in 2025. Affordable at 1,000–2,000 yen for both lunch and dinner—a one-of-a-kind soba experience in Kumamoto.

Tabelog 3.73 with 258 reviews. Reviewers overwhelmingly say 'no other place in Kumamoto offers such aromatic soba at this price,' 'the sweetness and fragrance of stone-ground flour is extraordinary,' and 'the Michelin selection is well-deserved.' Lunch lines form regularly.
