What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A hidden soba gem tucked along Kinkazobashi-dori in Gifu's Yanagase area. Opened August 2016, the owner—a former Italian chef—crafts 100% buckwheat noodles praised for their aroma and smooth finish. Only 7 counter seats, no reservations, closes when sold out—yet customers line up before opening daily. Michelin Bib Gourmand 2019 (Aichi/Gifu/Mie guide), Tabelog Soba EAST Top 100 2025 selection.

"I can't believe soba this authentic is available in Gifu," "The aroma of 100% buckwheat is on another level," "Worth lining up before it sells out." Tabelog 3.82 (194 reviews). Despite counter-only seating, no reservations, and early sell-out, regulars keep coming back.
