Soba Goro Tazawako Ekimae
Enjoy authentic 100% buckwheat soba with a smooth texture in a retro, traditional house setting.
Located in front of Tazawako Station, the retro-style "Tazawako Ichi" product hall is housed in a traditional old house, selling local agricultural products, specialties, and local sake. Nestled within this charming hall is a small, cozy Japanese soba restaurant with about 20 seats called "Juuwari Soba Soba Goro."
As the name suggests, their specialty is 100% buckwheat soba. Using buckwheat flour from Tazawako, the soba is made in-house, offering a delightful aroma and a smooth texture. Despite the authentic quality, the signature "Mori Soba" is affordably priced from 750 yen. In winter, the "Hinai Chicken Seiro" for 1,200 yen, featuring healthy, firm Hinai chicken, is very popular. The "Ten Zaru" for 1,200 yen, which includes delicious tempura made with local ingredients, is also highly recommended.
The drink menu is extensive, featuring sake, beer, and soba shochu, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal and a light drink right by the station.
