A return visit. This is my third time.Located in Yamanouchi, Nagano Prefecture.A hand-made soba restaurant.I planned this trip to Nagano specifically to visit this place.The soba here leaves a deep impression and is undoubtedly among the best in the country.This time, the soba was even more delicious!I never expected it to surpass that level. It was astonishing.The owner seems to have further honed his skills.The highlight is the refreshing aroma reminiscent of young grass, combined with a rich umami flavor.Soba that achieves both is rare nationwide,No, rather, it’s a unique taste that can only be found here at "Yama no Mi."If asked where the best soba restaurant in Japan is,I would answer "Yama no Mi" without hesitation.However, the access to the restaurant isn’t very good,So there’s a high chance people would be disappointed saying, "I can’t go that far,"Which is why I don’t mention the name "Yama no Mi" too often.I made a reservation for my visit.Course (JPY 3,000)And I added two extra servings of soba (JPY 1,300 for 2 servings).The total bill was JPY 5,600.The soba was so delicious that I considered ordering more,but I had plans to visit another soba restaurant right after, so I held back.The course included:- Seasonal appetizer- Hand-ground sobakaki- Freshly made soba- Stone oven-baked soba pizzaThe sobakaki is incredibly delicious.This dish might showcase the characteristics of the buckwheat flour even more clearly.It’s a wonderful sobakaki.By the way, on this day, they were selling "sweet skin" in the shop,I bought some and took it home to make soba-yu later,and it was also exceptionally delicious.My rating has gone up.
