Tabelog Soba EAST 100 Famous Restaurants 2025. Famous for niju-hachi (two-eight) soba milled in-house from buckwheat directly sourced from farmers, using Mashiko, Tochigi buckwheat flour.

Offers both single soba dishes and kaiseki courses, long beloved by local soba enthusiasts. 3-min walk from Nishi-Tokorozawa Station.

No closure or relocation news. The owner's kaiseki background often discussed in reviews.
