Famous for white sarashina soba, ground from only the very heart of the buckwheat kernel. The noodles are pale and fine enough that first-timers wonder if it is somen. A darker soba is on the menu too, and plenty of people order both to compare. Small plates like itawasa and tamagoyaki suit a sake at lunch.
