A hidden gem in Iwamuroda, Saku City. The two signature dishes are 'Tebiki Soba' based on the grandmother's recipe, and 'Mizumoe Soba' featuring an unusual dipping sauce made with spring water from the Asama foothills. Only Raian Hagiwara offers both in a mixed platter. TripAdvisor 4.0, ranked 15th in Saku. Tabelog 3.48, 297 reviews. The commitment to natural ingredients and grandmother's traditional technique are authentic.

Reviews praise 'This soba is special,' 'The Mizumoe soba dipping sauce has an unrivalled flavor,' and 'The mixed platter in a quiet setting is wonderful.' Tabelog 3.48, 297 reviews. TripAdvisor 4.0, #15 in Saku. Many repeat visitors.
