"This soba buckwheat noodle restaurant is located in Saku City, Nagano Prefecture. You can taste Shinshu soba using buckwheat flour made by the restaurant, and their popular Kurumi (walnut) Soba. It is possible to tour and see how the noodles are made by peering through glass inside the restaurant, and the store has even been chosen by ""Shinshu Sobakiri no Mise,"" a recognition of its use of local soba and authentic methods. There are usually long lines during lunchtime."

相変わらず美味しい蕎麦がたっぷり食べれます。コロナ禍になって営業時間が絞られており、なかなかタイミングが会いませんでしたがお昼の早い時間にタイミングが合い行ってきました。１２時にはかなり大勢の待ちが出ていました。早めに行かれることをおすすめします。

Nagano Chiisagata-gun Nagawa Machi Himekidaira 3518

This is a soba noodle restaurant on National Route 152 stands out with its thatched roof. They aren't limited by their relationship with other shops, so they pursue classic soba goodness their own way. Their Dattan Soba comes recommended; it contains about 120 times more rutin than ordinary soba. The town's specialty product, Shinano Kiriyama Dantan Soba, is a fabulous dish that overturns the conventional wisdom that bitterness has no place in food. For dessert, try their popular Datan Soba Cheese Tart made with special buckwheat flour and lots of cream cheese.

Nagano Komoro-shi Tei 314

A three-minute walk from Komoro Station. This soba noodle restaurant is located close to the inner citadel in the center of Komoro Castle Park. The standard cold zaru soba noodles, which reflect the innate flavors of the ingredients used to make them, are particularly recommended. The large sized soba noodles are enough to feed two people. Weather hot or cold, the restaurants noodles come with edible wild plants, mushrooms, deep fried tofu, and grated yam; the restaurant's Daimyo Soba comes topped with all of these plus an egg. Other toppings include tempura and eggs. The summertime only perilla and plum soba noodles have Japanese ginger in them, giving them a refreshing flavor. During the cherry bossom viewing season, customers can enjoy a banquet with an advance reservation. Note that the restaurant closes when its supply of noodles for the day runs out.

城内にふさわしい感じの古いお蕎麦屋さんですが、ちょっと建物が古すぎるせいか、たてつけが良くないので食べるのにちょっと不安があるレベルです。お店というよりも古民家を流用している感じがします。肝心のそば自体は味も価格も普通という感じです。

蓼科山登山後に白樺湖周辺に宿泊して、その翌日の昼食に利用しました。県道40号線沿いにありますが、白樺湖からはちょっと距離があります。店内は4人用テーブル4卓と小上がりがあります。そばが主体のお店で、味噌おでんもありました。「ざるそば」をいただきましたが、二八そばで喉越しの良いものです。香りもあり美味しくいただきました。

Nagano Pref. Kitasakugunkaruizawamachi Nagakura Shiozawa 746

Located in Karuizawa Town, Kitasaku County, Nagano Prefecture, this soba restaurant’s charm is its space which utilizes the warmth and quality of wood. They grind carefully selected domestic soba seeds into three different types, offering “sarashina soba” (first), “oraga soba” (second), and “inaka soba” (third) as piled soba (mori soba). There are limited quantities of “ishiusuhiki soba” which uses marunuki soba seeds ground in a stone mill. You can compare “sarashina soba” and “oraga soba” in the “aimori soba,” so it is popular, but the a la carte menu is also great, with tempura, and Japanese char and such available.

軽井沢に観光で訪れたため、数ある有名な蕎麦屋から定休日ではなく駐車場も空いていたこちらに入店。覚悟はしていましたがお値段はお高め。蕎麦は数種類ありましたが、店主お勧めの石臼挽き蕎麦は大盛りの設定がないため、さらしな蕎麦とおらが蕎麦の相盛りと田舎蕎麦(いずれも大盛り)と海老入りの天ぷらを注文しました。どの種類の蕎麦も美味しいのですが、馬鹿舌の私には明らかな違いを感じられず。しかし、どの蕎麦も...

Nagano Pref. Komoroshi Kojou 1-1-10

Since its founding, this home-grower of soba in Asama foothills has been dedicated to local production-local consumption, as well as safety. It has been featured in a variety of media due to its efforts and delicious results. The soba is a 70% soba blend handed down since Hidehisa Sengoku, the first Lord of Shinshu Komoro clan. This percentage is said to be the best for health. The most highly rated dish would be the “walnut soba” eaten with a sauce meticulously ground from carefully-selected walnuts.

美味しかったけど食べ終わったあと器から100円玉がでてきてびっくり！更に店員さんはお客さんが入れたんじゃないよね？の発言に追い討ちをかけるような酷いひと言！100円玉が入っていた蕎麦だけお代はいいです、と言われましたがお金払ってももう行きません、草笛さんのお蕎麦を食べたく遠方より来ているお客さんだっているということ、もう少し大事にしてほしい。

Nagano Pref. Toumishi Kazawa 435-1

"A soba noodle restaurant standing along Prefectural Route 166 in Kazawa, Tomi City. The restaurant's noodles are homemade using select buckwheat in order to draw out maximum flavor. The restaurant's signature dish is its hearty ""Tame'emon Soba"" piled high with sliced ribs of pork meat, tempura, and other toppings. Customers can choose between three sizes-the small ""komusubi;"" the large ""ozeki;"" and the extra-large ""yokozuna,"" which is only available to those who intend to try and finish it all."

長野にチェーン展開している草笛さんと同じと勘違いしていましたが、東御市の草笛はチェーンではなかったのですね。初めての来店だったので為右衛門そばの大関にするか小結か迷って小結を注文。注文から２０分くらいで、とにかく色々乗ってるそばが目の前に。思ったよりそばの器は小さい。たっぷりのつけ汁が提供されるのはうれしい。取り皿に角煮とか、かき揚げを避けないとそばにたどり着けない。そばは細目で美味しかっ...

"A soba noodle restaurant located in Iwamurada, Saku City. The restaurant serves ""Mizumoe Soba,"" soba noodles made from buckwheat soaked in icy water that has just started to germinate, the point when the buckwheat is at its most delicious. The restaurant also serves ""Seiro Soba,"" soba noodles made with unhulled buckwheat from the Asama Highland served over a steaming basket; and ""Tebiki Soba,"" soba made with flour hand milled from unhulled Shinshu Nagawa buckwheat. Other menu selections include ""Nikoji Soba"" soup, a local dish; and simple soba kaiseki dishes."

人気店との情報があり、平日の昼前に到着し、すんなり入店。とても気さくで気持ちの良い女将さんの接客で、簡単なメニューの紹介があり、ここのお店の個性を味わえる水萌え蕎麦と手びき蕎麦、キジ蕎麦、天ぷらをいただきました。写真の通り太く短い蕎麦のため、啜り心地や喉越しは味わえませんが、蕎麦の香りはしっかり堪能出来ます。この蕎麦が普通に細長くなれば完璧なのでしょうが、それだと麺が繋がらないのでしょうね...

"This soba noodle shop is at the Route 18 bypass in Nagakura, Karuizawa Town, Kitasaku County. Appearing refined and tranquil from the outside, they serve chewy soba noodles handmade from domestically-grown, stone-ground buckwheat flour in an atmosphere flowing with jazz. Their soba noodles and tempura are delicious, and their ""Kakiage Tsukesoba"" with shrimp and squid more than ten centimeters across is popular. Their udon and shrimp tempura rice bowls get good reviews, too."

店自体は１８号バイパス沿いで、駐車場も広く便利な立地。店構えに比べ、内装がちょっと安っぽいのが残念。蕎麦自体は、ごく普通の手打ちそばで、可もなく不可もなし。天ぷらも、美味しいけれど、特に感動するほどではありませんでした。一番残念だったのは、蕎麦つゆが最初から蕎麦猪口に入ってくること。人によって、つゆの量の好みは違うので、手打ち蕎麦屋なら蕎麦徳利に入れてきて欲しかった。これでは、蕎麦湯も楽しめない...

Nagano Areas

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.
