    Tochigi Pref. Nikkoushi Hikage 590-2
    This soba restaurant is located in Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture. Its popular items include its juwari soba, soba noodles made with buckwheat flour ground in-house each day without wheat flour filler, as well as their wild vegetable tempura. Located inside of a kominka (old Japanese-style house), the restaurant has a nostalgic atmosphere. Guests at the restaurant, which is visited by locals and tourists alike, can take their time to enjoy a meal. We recommend going early as the restaurant closes as soon it runs out of soba noodles.

    県道栗山日光線の起点近くにあり場所はわかりやすいお店。そばと中間グレードの天ぷらを注文した。 そばはわさびを自分ですりおろして食べるのだが、これがとても良い。天ぷらは大きな野菜が7-8点盛。どの素材も新鮮で味わいがある。どくだみの葉の天ぷらは初めてだったが、独特の味でまた食べたくなった。

    旅行の途中、なんの前情報もなく通りすがりで入店。 十割蕎麦ですが、ぜんぜんボソボソ感がなくて、都内の美味しい十割蕎麦のお店と遜色ないレベルで美味しかったです。 お蕎麦もですが、天ぷらが相当高いレベルで美味しいです。 田舎蕎麦の天ぷらそば、ざるそば、更科のかけそばをいただきましたが、個人的には田舎蕎麦がオススメですね。 家族3人で5,000円とそれなりに良いお値段なので、出来ればキャッシュレスに対...

    Tochigi Pref. Nikkoushi Fujihara 19-79
    A soba noodle restaurant located close to Kinugawa-Koen Station. Unlike soba in the Kanto region, which is served with a strongly flavored dipping sauce, Izumi’s soba is served with a lighter sauce. In addition to a standard tempura and zaru soba (noodles served on a zaru bamboo basket), the restaurant’s soba garnished with tempura-style maitake mushrooms, a local specialty product, is also popular. There’s also soba served with a small bowl of yuba tofu skin, another area specialty. Izumi also carries local Japanese sakes, and you can enjoy a drink with your meal.

    鬼怒川公園駅から道路を挟んだ真ん前にあるそば処です。 店内は落ち着いた感じで、きれいなお店でした。 イワナのから揚げとゆば刺しセット(1,500円)、天丼とそばセット(1,300円)やカレーのセット(1,100円)などもありましたが、舞茸天ぷらと生ゆばセット(1,300円)を注文しました。 カラッと揚げたての舞茸は抹茶塩でいただきます。トロっとした食感の生ゆばはとてもおいしかったです。生ゆばにはお...

    Tochigi Pref. Nikkoushi Kamihatsuishimachi 1024
    A soba restaurant located close to Tobu Nikko Station. The restaurant operates out of the first floor of the Nikko Bussan Shoukai, a building originally constructed as a souvenir shop for the Kanaya Hotel. The historic building is a nationally designated Tangible Cultural Property. Many of Shinkyoan’s dishes are made with yuba tofu skin, a Nikko specialty. Try the standard yuba-sashi tofu skin sashimi, and the agemaki yuba deep fried tofu skin rolls. There’s also soba noodles topped with a hearty portion of yuba. Particularly unusual is the yuba ramen—ramen topped with agemaki yuba.

    The yuba (beancurd) is a local food here. They put it in all their dishes or u could eat it just by itself. Its a nice, clean and refreshing food. Good for vegetarians.

    This soba restaurant is located on the shores of Lake Chuzenji along the Japan Romantic Road in Chugushi, Nikko City. Carefully selected Nikko-produced soba is stored at low temperatures, and each day, the day’s portion of soba is ground in a stone mill into soba flour and made into handmade soba. Menu items include “hiyashi yuba soba” made with Nikko’s famous tofu skin, along with other dishes.

    位在中禪寺湖對面的新月蕎麥麵店,到訪用餐的當天中午,店內服務人員只有一位阿姨和年輕人,先在門口後位等待大約15分鐘,就坐後點了天婦羅蕎麥麵,現點現做,很悠閒慢活的享受午餐,天婦羅是炸整片的,放進蕎麥麵吸附湯汁,非常美味.

    Uoyo is an original yuba (tofu skin) soba noodle restaurant which is a well-known Nikko dish and you can feel free to enjoy yuba. Three types of yuba, including a deep fried then rolled yuba, Chojuage (dried tofu wrapped with yuba) and Zenmaimaki (deep fried royal fern wrapped with yuba) made by Fujiya which is a long-established yuba shop, are seasoned to top handmade soba noodles. The soba noodles use in-house milled gensoba (black buckwheat flour). Apart from yuba soba noodles, there is a range of menu items such as kamonanban (duck meat and onions) and Nikko maitake mushroom soba noodles.

    Piping hot soup with freshly made noodles. Cold and hot noodles are available. The menu is simple. During visit they did not have tempura on the menu.

    Tochigi Nikko-shi Kinugawaonsen Taki 534
    A long-standing soba restaurant founded in 1945. Located opposite the Kinugawa Plaza Hotel, they serve firm soba noodles made fresh daily. Their popular Hiyashi Tanuki is available year-round; it features savory tempura batter bits in a thick bonito soup stock along with the noodles. They still maintain the traditional flavor developed by the previous generation but provide the taste that fits to the time. The roughly 1,000 earthenware bells on display in the old-fashioned shop are a sight to see.

    鬼怒川プラザホテルの真向かいにあるそば店です。 「日光手打ちそばの会」というホームページに掲載されていたのでランチで立ち寄りました。店内は24席ほどのこぢんまりしたそば店でした。天ざる(1,150円)は喉ごしのよい蕎麦と香ばしく揚がった天ぷらがおいしかったです。

    Tochigi Nikko-shi Koshiro 371
    A soba restaurant in the main house of the Former Kato Residence, once owned by an honorary citizen of Imaichi City. The shop was created as a subsidy project in Tochigi Prefecture with the aim of revitalizing the village, by local volunteers from Koshiro bringing the fund. The entire process of growing, harvesting, and milling the buckwheat is carried out by the members of the local Koshiro Namegawa-an Soba Association, resulting in the freshest gensoba noodles available. The light flavor of the broth goes well with the flat, nicely textured noodles. The tatami floor mat seating looks out on a beautifully landscaped Japanese garden.

    入り口は古い邸宅に北関東地方特有の門構えがドーンとあって期待が膨らみます。 この門を少し過ぎて駐車場に廻ると、日本家屋がお出迎え。 11時30分過ぎだったのでまだ先客も少なく、 すぐに座敷に通されました。 縁側が最高、広いお屋敷にびっくりです。 中庭は手入れされてて綺麗。 蕎麦は、ニラ蕎麦を注文。じつは初めての体験 ニラ+蕎麦。 ニラは煮ただけのものを蕎麦の上に乗せただけ。 蕎麦は固めでしっかりし...

Most visits to Tochigi revolve around Nikko, a small city home to the spectacular, lavishly decorated Toshogu Shrine and Nikko National Park with its mountains, lakes, waterfalls, onsen, and wild monkeys. Neighboring Oku-Nikko is an extension of the fantastic scenery famous for its autumn leaves, while Tochigi’s capital, Utsunomiya, is the only place in the world where you can find oya stone beautifully exhibited in temples and the Oya History Museum.
