Teuchisobadokoro Kanae
A handmade soba specialty shop tucked in a quiet residential area of Obuse, Nagano. The chef uses buckwheat flour from Yatsugatake, freshly shaved bonito and mackerel flakes for the dashi every morning, and wasabi from Azumino. Tabelog: 3,496 saves and 120 reviews. LINE Place: 3.7 stars. TripAdvisor: 3.7 stars. A genuine gem with weekday lines and weekend waits of up to one hour. Cash only, closes when sold out.
Reviews say: 'A world apart from Obuse's tourist soba shops — this is real craftsmanship,' 'The dashi from freshly shaved bonito is on a different level,' 'Packed at noon on weekdays with a line outside,' 'Be prepared to wait an hour on weekends,' 'Not many soba shops in Shinshu can top this.' The 3,496 Tabelog saves stands out in this region.
