Hatsuhana Soba Honten

This is a restaurant affiliated with Hatsuhana Hotel, which specializes in soba noodles. The child ordered a portion of tamagoyaki (egg rice), which was also very delicious. The egg was half-cooked and tasted very good. The chicken was very tender, and it tasted a bit like soaked rice when paired with rice.

A very popular restaurant serving soba noodles. I like the kind cooked in a pot, which feels like eating a soup pot. There are many kinds of soba noodles, such as those with wild vegetables, yam, and chicken soup. It is very refreshing, the taste is not strong, and the buckwheat tastes very good.

I have eaten soba noodles in other cities before, but I didn’t think it was particularly delicious at that time. But in this restaurant, I ate the rare wild vegetable soba noodles, which I found to be so delicious. Very refreshing, and with the aroma of wild vegetables, it was quite tasty.

Although it is a very small buckwheat noodle restaurant, there are so many customers waiting in line. I usually choose a restaurant I am eating at for the first time, mainly to see how many locals are queuing up, so I resolutely chose this restaurant to give it a try. This experience is one of the tricks that never fails! After holding a sign at the door and waiting for about 15 minutes, a seat became available, and it was a good seat by the window. The bead curtain was lowered to 1/3 of the place, which was just enough to block the glare of the sun. There was no glass blocking the fresh air and breeze that could freely enter and exit the room. The gurgling stream also brought moisture and coolness, which felt very comfortable! What I particularly like is the soba cold noodle set with tempura shrimp, it tastes really delicious! Thumbs up! Friends who go to Hakone Yumoto must try it. It is just across the stream from the Kajikaso Hotel.

I was just passing by and found that there were quite a lot of people queuing up. The point is that the store is very small, so I followed and took some photos. It is one of the better cold buckwheat noodles I have eaten in Japan. The hardness of the noodles is just right. It will not become soft even after soaking for a long time, and it is chewy. The soup base is also very fresh. If you are not hungry, two people can eat one bowl. Unfortunately, I am embarrassed to do so because it is a big bowl.
