Oishi Omatsuya
A one-of-a-kind restaurant serving hand-cut soba in a 170-year-old traditional farmhouse around an irori (sunken hearth). The ni-hachi soba made from locally-milled buckwheat is thinly cut with a superb texture. Charcoal-grilled mountain delicacies like iwana trout and river shrimp are equally acclaimed. A hidden gem that draws fans from across Japan.
Reviewers rave: 'The atmosphere of this farmhouse combined with the superb soba is incredible', 'Eating around the irori is a truly unique experience', 'I had no idea such an amazing restaurant existed in Shonai'. Tabelog 3.66 / 122 reviews.
