It's a place where you can fully savor the delicious flavors of Kagoshima, making it a must-visit.
This is a long-established shop, and the history is conveyed even from its appearance. The menu is very simple, and I like the purity of just soba or udon with rice. The hand-made, thick, rustic soba has a firm texture and can be slurped comfortably as it is short and smooth. The broth, fragrant with bonito, is mildly sweet, with a hint of yuzu that leaves a refreshing aftertaste. The large kakiage (tempura) spreads the aroma of sesame and vegetables, and the crispy texture continues until the end. I was so engrossed in eating that before I knew it, I had finished the broth as well.
