Kawara Soba Honten Otafuku
The famous kawara soba restaurant inside Kawatana Grand Hotel Otafuku, a 185+ year inn in Kawatana hot spring area. 'Otafuku's kawara soba' (1,320 yen), inspired by the Mori clan's tile culture, is so popular that locals queue with towels for the bath-and-meal combo. Takeout and mail order available.
Reviews rave 'the soba on an actual roof tile is incomparably fragrant' and 'at 1,700 yen including bath, it's an extraordinary experience.' A local 'once-a-week' haunt praised on Retty too.
