    Tokushima Pref. Miyoshishi Nishiyayamamurazentoku 9-3
    Iya Bijin is a restaurant that offers spectacular views of the mountains lining the Iya Gorge and of Iya River. The restaurant makes its own noodles, handling the whole process from the initial stage of Iya Soba buckwheat powder manufacturing through to noodle-making. Besides Soba noodles, Iya Bijin also offers a range of other dishes that embody the natural glories of the Iya region, including Soba-gome-zosui (buckwheat porridge) and grilled Amego (Masu salmon), etc. Tables on the open terrace-which affords brilliant views of the Iya Gorge and Iya River-are particularly popular. The restaurant is attached to a hotel which offers rooms with their own outdoor pools.

    Iya Bijin is a true find! Our group of 7 had two fantastic meals on the back deck of Iya Bijin and every one of us was wowed both times. The food is simply delicious, the staff is friendly and...

    外観・内装共にいわゆる普通の居酒屋で、大人数でも1人などの少人数でも気軽に利用できます。スタッフも活気良くハキハキとしていますが、決して馴れ馴れしすぎず適度な距離感をもって接客しているのも好印象でした。 小皿料理が充実しているように見受けられました。それが様々な人数の客にも対応できる特徴の一つだと思います。勿論料理によって量は様々であるため、注文の際にどれだけの量なのかを聞くといいかもしれません...
