そば Jí - 多賀町

Toga-cho, "Sobayoshi" ordered the "two-color mix" of wide-cut and thin-cut soba. When I took a bite of the soba without dipping it in soba broth, a rich soba aroma spread gently. The wide-cut soba had a thickness and a firm texture that was unique and enjoyable to chew. The "four-color mix" ordered by my family included yuzu and brown soba, giving it a distinctive and smooth texture with a fresh and vibrant color that shone in the bamboo basket. Among all the unique soba I have tasted, this was the most flavorful brown soba, with a hint of bitterness followed by a refreshing sweetness. The yuzu added a subtle and elegant flavor without being overpowering, creating a perfect balance of ingredients. It seemed like the experienced 70-year-old owner, who trained in the Kanto region in his younger days, delicately adjusted the "kneading" and "water balance" based on the weather of the day. He spoke cheerfully about soba, while his son, who could be felt smiling behind the mask, also shared his passion for "farming" and "heirloom varieties" with a meticulous discussion about soba. The rectangular shape of the soba bowls used in the restaurant, with the aging patina adding to the flavor and enhancing the view of the served soba, highlighted the craftsmanship of the establishment. It is a serious and unassuming soba shop that I hope will remain for a long time. I look forward to trying their warm soba and desserts next time.

I visited this restaurant for the first time in 10 years since my son's family went there when he was 2 years old. The taste of authentic soba noodles hasn't changed at all. I had the three-color soba, and it was delicious.

During a trip to Hikone with three friends, we stumbled upon this restaurant and it was a big hit. We tried the thick noodles and they were truly delicious, with a great texture and not too chewy. The shichimi pepper was incredibly tasty, made in-house at the restaurant. The young owner's customer service really impressed me. He was polite and humble with each customer, making it easy to communicate with him and providing quick service. I'm sure there are many fans of this young owner, and I sincerely want to come back to Hikone just to eat at this soba restaurant again.

多賀大社近くのお側屋さん。 その日によって種類は違いますが いろいろな風味のそばを味わえます。 わさびが甘くてフレッシュでおいしいです。

平日のお昼に行きましたがすぐには入れました。 四色もり、三食もり、もりうどん、いなりずしを頼みました。 いなり寿司は注文からすぐに出てきました。ご飯は酸っぱめ、甘くなく辛めの味付けで、これはこれで美味しかったです。 少し時間たってそばが出てきました。太打ち、細打ち、茶そば、ゆず切りそばでした。ベーシックな細打ちがコシがあり、風味も強くやっぱり一番美味しかったです。太打ちは個人的にはそば粉を食べているようで好みではないかな。 うどんは時間がかかりそば終盤で出てきました。うどんは強いコシの上にツルっとしたのど越しで正直うどんは期待していなかっただけに驚きました。 本格的なたくさんそばを食べて値段も手ごろで最高です。 次行くときは細打ちそばとうどんだな。
