Eiheiji Soba Tei Ikkyu

The signature dish is 'oroshi soba.' It features handmade soba made from buckwheat flour sourced from Fukui Prefecture, topped with spicy grated daikon and a special dipping sauce, making it a unique dish of Echizen soba. The flavor of the soba and the refreshing spiciness of the daikon create a perfect balance. Tempura is also popular, with seasonal ingredients such as taranome in spring, asparagus in summer, and maitake mushrooms in autumn and winter. Surprisingly, 'apple pie' is also well-regarded as a local specialty.

The store standing along the approach path has a traditional Japanese atmosphere while also being open and inviting. With both tatami seating and table seating available, guests can enjoy their meals in a calm space. Natural light streams in through large windows, allowing for a peaceful time. The spacious layout can accommodate groups, and it's a nice touch that visitors can park their cars in the store's parking lot and visit Eiheiji after their meal.

Located along the approach to Eiheiji Temple, this establishment has welcomed many worshippers and tourists for many years. It continues to promote the charm of Echizen soba, a traditional dish of Fukui, and is beloved by the local community. The simple yet carefully crafted dishes and warm hospitality have garnered a good reputation, resulting in many repeat customers. In addition to soba, they are also focusing on developing a unique dessert menu with their own twists.
