What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A unique soba restaurant using the rare heirloom 'kosoba' variety that miraculously survives in the Myoko foothills. Kosoba beans are one-third the size of regular soba beans. Uses the legendary binder 'Oyamabokuchi' (mountain burdock leaf fibers). Michelin Guide Niigata Special Edition 2020 Bib Gourmand. Ranked No. 1 in Shukan Bunshun take-out soba ranking. One of only two restaurants in Japan using kosoba. Selected in Niigata Gastronomy Award 2023 (Top 100 restaurants).

Many reviews say 'the aroma and sweetness of kosoba is completely different from other soba' and 'worth the trip all the way to Myoko.' National visitors increased after Michelin BG. Popular for mail order too. 540 people marked 'want to go' on Retty. 82 Tabelog reviews but verified by Michelin, Bunshun and Gastronomy Award recognition.
