Fake reviews removed

Founded in 1716 (Kyoho 1), this handmade soba shop in Kiso Fukushima has over 300 years of history. The quintessential restaurant beloved by travelers on the Nakasendo highway's Kiso road for centuries. Authentic handmade soba from carefully selected buckwheat with in-house milling. Winter-only 'Sunki Soba' uses Kiso's traditional fermented sunki. The main-store-exclusive 'Tennuki' (tempura without soba) is also popular. Yahoo Maps 3.84, TripAdvisor 44 reviews - top in the region.

Common reviews: 'a must-visit classic whenever coming to Kiso,' 'wonderful handmade soba technique,' 'sunki soba can only be eaten in Kiso,' 'the atmosphere evokes 300 years of history,' 'I always come in winter just for the sunki soba.' Popular with both locals and long-distance repeat visitors.
