The cold udon was special and vegetarian-friendly, with vegetables freshly picked locally. The grandma was so kind 😭

This is an amazing place. I came here at 1130 after hiking up and down. I was the only client there. The borrowed view scenery is very apt for this part of the woods. I tried the herring set and it's amazing. The herring has been prepared in similar fashion to unagi in that it's sweet and umami. The soup stock is chock full of umami. Noodles ok. They serve tea free flow and also some sweets if you visit after lunch. Hidden gem

Run by the cutest and sweetest grandma ever. Tried cold udon, oden, and traditional warabimochi, and they were all excellent. Very authentic Japanese experience.

NOTE: Cash Only

A cozy little restaurant singlehandedly manned by this lovely little grandmother. The food was warm and delicious. I think it’s the best soba noodles I have had, but I have not had enough to be a critic on the topic so take this with a pinch of salt.

The atmosphere is spectacular however.

Like having lunch at your grandma’s! Very homey simple place that doesn’t even look like a restaurant from the road; you have to walk a few meters down a path first. Food was very good. They should tidy up the outside a bit - but don’t let that put you off.

Do not hesitate at the entrance if you cannot figure out if it is the right place, go in and ring the bell. The grandma will show up and will invite you inside (or to one of the terrace tables). A unique, local experience with ‘home-cooked’ udon and soba noodle soups.

Delicious meal prepared by 80 year old grandma. She has been in the originally teahouse for 50 years now. Very accomodating and lovely.

I highly recommend the herring soba, price has increased by 200 yen which is now 1200 yen but it has eggplant tempura and tofu. All dishes are made and grown locally around the area. The tofu is amazing, never tried anything like it.

She shared about the struggle around the area after a bukkyo monk who was based behind her restaurant passed away 2 years ago which cause business to fall in the area, but she has remained in the area because of her age.

we feel so much love and care from her, which made me want to one day come and help her with the teahouse!!
