Saijō-soba Kinoe

Carefully prepared homemade soba made with uchinuki water

The shop offers homemade soba prepared with domestically-grown buckwheat seeds and uchinuki, the subsoil water selected as one of the “100 best waters in Japan” sourced from Mt. Ishizuchi, western Japan’s highest mountain peak. The all-natural dipping sauce has no additives and is made by combining homemade soup base called kaeshi with natural broth. Seasonal menu items made with local ingredients are excellent, including a soba dish containing Kinukawa-nasu eggplants, which are Saijo City’s local specialty.
