Kirankuya
This soba restaurant marked by a small wooden sign is located in a thicket just beyond the end of a narrow seaside path. It serves soba noodles crafted carefully handcrafted using stone-ground buckwheat flour. Their broth is made with the pure water of Yakushima Island and blend of high-grade sababushi (dried mackerel) from Yakushima and high-grade katsuobushi (dried bonito) from Ibusuki City's Yamagawa-cho, which is famous for producing katsuobushi. It is popular for bringing out the refreshing fragrance of the lightly-flavored soba, which pairs incredibly well with their vegetable fritters. The restaurant also offers a full selection of a la carte dishes including grilled duck, tempura assortments, grilled pork with yuzukosho (yuzu zest and green chili paste), and more.
