Handmade Soba Udon Tamagawa Main Store

3.5

A long-standing soba noodle restaurant located kitty-corner from the Sasa no Yu bathhouse in the Shibu Onsen area in Yamanouchi Town, Shimotakai County, Nagano Prefecture. The restaurant makes its own soba flour, grinding buckwheat from Shinshu contract farms with a stone mill. Each morning, Tamagawa carefully prepares its noodles by hand, making only the amount to be used that day. Popular items include the zaru-soba, which lets you enjoy the simple and true flavor of the noodles; as well as the tororo-soba covered with grated yam and the kurumidare-soba topped with a walnut sauce. The restaurant’s desserts are also popular, such as the soba soft serve ice cream, which can only be ordered by customers who have ordered soba noodles. Smoking prohibited.
