What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A hidden soba gem located in the highland Tamugi district of Tokamachi City. The owner grows and mills their own buckwheat from local contract farmers, binding with only funori (seaweed) for authentic hegi soba. The coarsely stone-ground flour brings rich aroma, and the tempura from wild maitake mushrooms grown in the beech forest behind the restaurant is exceptional. Locals unanimously recommend this as 'the real hegi soba experience.'

Reviews consistently say 'Authentic hegi soba made from 100% Tokamachi buckwheat', 'The wild maitake tempura from the backyard forest is exceptional', 'A hidden gem only locals know about', 'Reservation required to get in'. Tabelog 3.54, 116 reviews.
