Koyoan Handa (Handmade Soba)
Opened in 2001 in a renovated 100-year-old machiya townhouse in central Handa. Buckwheat flour sourced primarily from Fukui Maruoka, selecting the best crop each year from Nagano and Hokkaido. Passionate about the three freshnesses: freshly milled, freshly made, freshly boiled. The large gomoku kakiage tempura is the signature item. Tabelog 3.55/232 reviews, top soba in Chita Peninsula, TripAdvisor #14 in Handa (4.5/5). 10 min walk from JR Handa Station. Only 2 directly operated locations (Handa and Tokoname).
Tabelog 232 reviews, 3.55 — top soba in the Chita Peninsula. TripAdvisor 4.5, #14 of 703 in Handa. Reviews consistently praise the incomparably richer aroma of stone-ground flour and a perfect lunch experience, atmosphere included. Strong regular and repeat customer presence. The lunch Zen set is the must-order, often full at lunch.
