Teuchi Soba Yamashina
A hidden gem handmade soba restaurant nestled quietly in the remote Misuma Shingyo district at around 1,000m altitude. Soba made from buckwheat grown at the foot of the North Alps, stone-milled on-site, and crafted with mineral-rich spring water, yielding distinctive sweetness and flavor. Set inside a converted old farmhouse. Soba enthusiasts visit from across Japan — a 'worth-the-trip' destination. Only makes as much as can be served daily, closes when sold out.
Praised by soba enthusiasts: 'Rustic country soba but delicious! Generous portions!' 'The soba I've been dreaming of — absolutely the best,' 'Worth coming from anywhere in Japan,' 'License plates in the parking lot from all over the country.' Tabelog 3.52/140 reviews (6,355 saves).
