Fake reviews removed

The pinnacle of soba craftsmanship: self-cultivated Hitachi Akisoba (Ibaraki prefecture recommended variety), self-milled, 100% buckwheat, made by a single craftsman. Only about 20 servings per day. No sign, hidden in a quiet residential area. Tabelog 3.69, Reponabi 4.4 (84 reviews). Reservation required.

Reviews say 'the best soba I've ever had in my life' and 'the aroma of hand-ground soba is on another level'. Sometimes fully booked. Soba lovers travel from afar for the once-in-a-lifetime experience.
