Handmade Soba Noodles with Smooth Finish, Enjoyed in a Merchant House Parlor
About this spot
A dining establishment housed in a converted merchant residence connected to the Yoshiga family, who prospered through wax production and are remembered in the Yokaichi and Gokoku streetscapes. The space features heavy beams, earthen walls, and parlor seating overlooking a small courtyard—itself feeling like a continuation of your town stroll. The specialty is handmade soba noodles made with stone-ground flour, complemented by dishes featuring local mountain vegetables and seasonal ingredients. Its convenient location in the middle of the streetscape makes it perfect for resting tired feet and leisurely savoring lunch. A bowl enjoyed in this charming residence is ideal for your white-walled stroll lunch.
Tips
Midday can be crowded, so arriving before noon is reassuring. Handmade soba may sell out, so an early lunch is recommended. Since you remove shoes on the tatami parlor seating, shoes that are easy to slip on and off make for greater comfort.
Best time to visit
Allow approximately 1 hour. Arriving between opening and noon makes it easier to be seated in the parlor seating without waiting.
