Appreciating old Japanese-style houses
An old Japanese-style house standing on the street close to Hase Temple. You may miss it as you enjoy strolling in the countryside. ”Ichinyoan” is a ”soba” shop using an old renovated Japanese-style house that was built 150 years ago. The interior is modern and simply designed, which is another appealing feature of the shop.
The ”soba” buckwheat is milled inhouse and thus has strong fragrance. The ”soba” noodles are cut very lean and narrow, making it easy to slurp down. ”Soba” can be enjoyed once in your mouth and then when it slides down your throat.
Another popular dish that is served is the ”shojinzen”. Fresh vegetables are elaborately prepared, a treat for the eyes as well as for the palate. There are customers that pay a visit just for this ”shojinzen”. It is advised to make a booking in advance.
Inside, besides seats on the tatami mats, there are table seats, but the seats on the porch are highly recommended. Enjoy the view of the garden while you enjoy your meal with a sip of ”sake”. Get a little drunk and then your senses will wake up, stimulated by the aroma of the ”soba”. What a treat!
