上乃裏通り雪花山房

Famous soba shop near Kumamon office
It takes about 10 minutes to walk from Suidomachi Station.
You will pass many restaurants along the small alleys, many of which are also famous stores.

There are only about four tables in the store + about 5 seats in the bar area
This time I came to eat at noon on a Monday. I didn’t make a reservation and there happened to be a table available.

Ordered duck sauce soba + tempura soba

The tempura soba noodles will be paired with ordinary buckwheat dipping sauce + fried tempura. The tempura is great, but the dipping sauce is just ordinary.

The duck soba noodles are served with duck dipping sauce, which is much more delicious than ordinary buckwheat dipping sauce. It will feel salty when you take the first bite, but the more you dip it, the better it becomes.

The body part of the soba noodles is very, very delicious. If you come to Kumamoto, it is definitely worth coming here to have a meal of soba noodles.

After you finish eating the noodles, there will be dashi stock available in most soba restaurants for you to add to the remaining dipping sauce to make soup. It tastes just ordinary, but the dipping sauce is still delicious when dipping the noodles 😂

There is a dessert after the meal, which is quite special. It consists of red beans and something similar to jelly. I can’t say it’s super delicious, but it’s not unpalatable.
