Chojuan Soba
A soba restaurant that has been a Motoyawata institution for about 60 years. Proud of its hand-milled Hokkaido buckwheat noodles and dashi stock made from scratch by shaving katsuobushi. Incredibly popular with locals—always busy even after midday on weekdays—with mori soba at just 650 yen. Takeout available for everything except nabeyaki. Many options: cold soba, udon, rice dishes. Hot Pepper Gourmet 151 reviews, rating 4.1. 7-min walk from Motoyawata Station.
"Mori soba at 650 yen with this quality is unbelievable. The best value soba in Motoyawata." "The Hokkaido stone-milled flour and well-seasoned broth are wonderful. I end up drinking every drop of the sobayo." "Still full at mid-afternoon on weekdays—that's 60 years of reputation for you." "Looking forward to takeout chilled soba between work tasks."
