Soba no Sato
Selected for Tabelog Top 100 Soba EAST 2024. Signature 'Juwari Douzuki Soba' is exclusive to this restaurant in Chino. Unique preparation: buckwheat grains are soaked and pounded with a mortar and pestle (not stone-milled). The owner personally grows buckwheat at the foot of the Yatsugatake mountains. Featured on TV program 'Jinsei Saikō Restaurant.' Tabelog 3.66, 687 reviews.
Common reviews: 'this feels like the original form of soba—genuinely moving,' 'the aroma of douzuki soba is completely different from stone-milled soba,' 'I always stop here every time I visit Chino,' 'worth waiting in line for.' A genuine gem worthy of its Top 100 status.
