    長野市の善光寺表参道にあるそば屋さんです。店名の「クイチ」にちなみ、つなぎがかなり少ないそばが味わえます。個人的にはつなぎが少ない方が風味が増すので好きなんですけどね。信州人は基本的にざるそばですが、温かいそばのメニューも充実していて観光客にもオススメです。

    戸隠は超有名な蕎麦屋がありますが、超混雑で味わうことができないときに、開拓のつもりで行ったら良かったんです。景色も楽しめて味も良かったんです(2種類とも)。でも量が少なくて少し残念、ちなみに並みを注文したのですが、他の店のと比べて少なかったですね。

    It was good and had to wait a bit for line. 私達は13:00くらいに着きましたが既に10組み待ちでしたがお蕎麦だったので待ち時間は意外に早かったです。昼には10割蕎麦は売り切れで量も少ないので沢山食べる方は大盛りがオススメです。

    名物の戸隠そば屋が軒を連ねる中でも、比較的大きめの店でした。駐車場はバスも停められるくらいだったので、次々に団体さんもやって来ますが、店内も十分広いのでさほど騒々しさはありませんでした。看板の戸隠そばは喉越しさっぱりで香り高くあっという間に平らげました。なぜかトイレは地下でした。

    とても美味でした.ゴールデンウィークは予約不可とのことで,17:30の回転に併せて15分ほど前にお店の前に行くと,既に複数組の客が並んでいました.回転と同時に入店できたものの,お店の外には順番待ちの列.早めに行ってラッキーでした.家族四人で天ぷらそばにお酒を頼み,大満足の夕食でした.おそばが出てくるまでに少々時間がかかります.入店前に待つ時間も含め,心に余裕のあるときが良いかも.

Nagano Areas

around-area-map

Nagano prefecture is an exciting mix of mountains, hot spring monkeys, and preserved Edo history. At the heart of the Japanese Alps, Nagano is one of the country’s most popular destinations, whether in winter for its snow sports and the much-loved Jigokudani Monkey Park or in the warmer months for discovering the undulating hills on foot. For fantastic Edo architecture, head to the Kiso Valley for a 60-kilometer stretch of quaint wooden buildings that marked the Nakasendo route 200 years ago.
