Azumi
This home made soba (buckwheat noodles) restaurant was moved by Ohara Soichiro, a son of an entrepreneur, all the way from Shinshu (Nagano prefecture). Its dark color and chewy texture are characteristic of this soba. If you would like to appreciate the pure flavor of soba itself, mori-soba (soba served on a screen-bottomed vessel) or kake-soba (soba noodles in soup) are recommended.
