October 13, 2010: その他 Miscellaneous

戸隠のお勧めなおそば屋: 山口屋

軽い知り合いの中で、宗教と政治の話をやめた方が良いと言いますが、信州では三つ目の危険な話があります:どのそば屋が美味しいかと。絶対に喧嘩になる。それだけ、信州人はそばにうるさい。

その中で、戸隠が蕎麦のメッカです。長野県の中で主な蕎麦生産地だし、その綺麗な空気とお水で作られたおそばは最も美味しいです。必ず列になる「うづらや」やメディアで注目されている「そばの実」等の名店を含めて、沢山のそば屋さんがあります。

さあ、戸隠のどのお蕎麦屋さんが美味しいでしょうか?答えは:
すべて。
戸隠の側レストランで「はずれ」って聞いた事がない。

その中で、一つなお店はいつもお客様に紹介しています:「山口屋」。お店の窓から戸隠山が見れるから食事しながら景色も楽しめる事と、そば打ちなされている山口さんは秘密があります:本人は忍者です。それはポイントが高いでしょう。

亀清旅館で山口屋の紹介カード・特典券を扱っていますので、是非、ご利用をください。

It is said that you should avoid talking about religion and politics with casual acquaintances. Here in Nagano, there is one other subject best to be avoided: which soba restaurant is the best. Breaking that taboo is certain to lead to a heated discussion, as Nagano-ites are passionate about their soba.

And nowhere is that more true than in Togakushi, Nagano's soba mecca. This is not where soba is grown, but noodles prepared with the area's crystal clear water and graced by the pristine mountain air are simply the best. With shops like 'Uzuraya' which always seems to have a line of people waiting out front, and media darling 'Sobanomi' and dozens of other soba shops to choose from, which one is the best?

Answer? All of them. I have yet to hear of someone being disappointed by a soba restaurant in Togakushi.

Among all the restaurants, we here at Kamesei do have a recommendation: Yamaguchi-ya. The restaurant's sitting area has a great view of Togakushi Mountain, so you can enjoy the mountain's unique shape as you eat the soba. And the soba chef, Yamaguchi-san himself, has a secret: He's a ninja!

Here at Kamesei Ryokan, we have a special coupon to use at Yamaguchi-ya, as well as other information (in English as well) on Togakushi. We would be happy to be your center for Togakushi information.
