Ishizuka

"This soba restaurant is located about a three-minute walk from Izukyu-Shimoda Station on the Izu Kyuko Line. The restaurant is popular with locals and also visited by many people from outside the prefecture. Guests can enjoy their thin and springy ni-hachi soba noodles made with stone-ground buckwheat flour using an 8:2 soba to filler ratio. We recommend eating their classic ""oseiro"" (chilled soba noodles served on a bamboo strainer) with plenty of their homemade shichimi (seven spice blend), which has a strong note of green laver seaweed. Other popular offerings include their ten seiro, which is served with a seasonal tempura, their chilled kamo seiro, which is served with a hearty dipping sauce containing duck, leek, and other ingredients, and also their hot kamo soba. Although the restaurant closes at 16:00, it stops taking orders once it runs out of soba."
