What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A renowned hand-made soba restaurant nestled at the foot of Mount Yotei in Makkari Village. The name 'Ishimame' means 'grind the stone mill diligently.' Locally-grown Makkari soba flour is ground on hand-turned stone mills, then combined with fine-ground flour to match the day's humidity and kneaded with spring water from Mount Yotei. Cars queue before opening. Listed in Michelin Guide Hokkaido 2012, Tabelog Soba 100 Famous Shops 2025.

Visitors from across Japan rave: 'Soba with a view of Mount Yotei is extraordinary,' 'Worth the trip from Tokyo,' 'Full house the moment doors open,' 'Unbelievable quality for the price.' Tabelog 3.77 (324 reviews), Michelin Guide 2012, TripAdvisor 4.2 (42 reviews).
