What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Charming Mingei-style long-established Izumo soba restaurant on Shiroyama Nishi Street in Matsue. Soba from own cultivation and contract farming in the high-altitude Okuizumo Maki area for 27 years; stone-ground in-house and made fresh as 100% buckwheat daily. Experts praise it as '100% buckwheat that has the chewiness of regular soba.' Tabelog 3.72, 426 reviews (14,683 saves), 'Soba WEST 100 Best 2025.'

"A bowl where you feel the farmer-like seriousness of self-cultivation and stone-grinding." "14,000+ saves is no joke—cannot miss when visiting Matsue." "The chewy texture and aroma set it apart from other soba shops." "Finish the wariko set with kama-age. The dessert soba is also wonderful."
