    This soba shop is on Prefectural route 44 in Kurose, Haguro Town, Tsuruoka City. They use domestic soba to hand-make their nihachi-soba(80% buckwheat flour) noodles, Inaka-soba (country-style soba) noodles, and Dattan-soba (Tartary buckwheat flour) noodles, as well as offering udon noodles and other dishes. Their noodles are kneaded with a low water content, resulting in firmer texture, and are offered up with seasonal tempura toppings for a taste treat.

    Yamagata Tsuruoka-shi Yuatsumi
    This Asa-ichi (morning market) is held at Atsumi Onsen Asa-ichi Hiroba in Atsumi, Tsuruoka City. From April through November, it runs every morning from 5:30 to 8:30. This morning market has a history going back to the Edo period, and it's filled with goods like local crafts, fresh local produce like the Yakibatake Atsumi Turnip, marine products, and more. The Hiru-ichi(afternoon market) event is also held every fourth Saturday of the month during that period.

    朝5時30分から8時30分までの朝市。訪問時は雨交じりの天気だったこともあるのか、7時30分頃訪問しましたが閑散としていました。地元の新鮮な野菜や魚などの品ぞろえがあったりするともっと活気づくのかと思いました。

    Yamagata Higashitagawa-gun Mikawamachi Inoko Ozeki Bata 314-3

    小腹が空き立ち寄りました。産直内に有る食堂で、産直内レジで前金、厨房にオーダーカード渡す感じ。かけそは¥260円お新香付き。トッピングで天かすは別盛り可能。麺が乱切りで歯応えが有り、超コスパ美味しく頂きました。

    香り豊かな良泉です。内湯も良かったですが、露天風呂が最高でした。ゆっくり浸かっていると、最高の幸せを感じます。入浴料は財布にやさしく、地元の方お勧めの日帰り温泉。また行きたい温泉です。

Yamagata Areas

around-area-map

Although often overlooked, Yamagata prefecture by no means lacks appeal: the Yamadera temple trail through the mountains, deliciously tender Yonezawa wagyu, and over 100 steaming hot springs, most notably Zao Onsen, await visitors. When winter comes, the snowcapped peaks become dotted with skiers by day and onsen-goers by night, while summer brings the celebration of juicy Yamagata cherries.
