What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Founded 1898 (Meiji 31), 127 years of soba heritage. Uses 100% domestic buckwheat flour from Hokkaido, Kumamoto Kikuchi, and Kagoshima Kirishima, stone-ground and hand-cut each morning. 'Kashiwa soba' with local chicken is the signature dish. Queues expected at lunchtime.

Diners praise the delicate buckwheat aroma and outstanding broth in the Kashiwa soba. Local families have patronized for generations seeking the unchanged taste since founding. Tabelog 119 reviews, many Retty reviews. Mix of tourists and locals.
