Rakuichi Soba Niseko

in niseko, hokkaido (december’23)

loved this meal, everything about it from the ambience, food to the lovely family run staff. this soba kaiseki in annapuri, niseko was so homey and the food though simple, was well crafted and executed. really loved the unlimited soba cha with our meal as well. highlight was of course the homemade soba made in front of us, where we got to choose between the cold version with tare or warm with a duck soup broth. i’m not sure if its because how fresh it was made, it still is one of the most remarkable sobas i’ve had thus far in japan, strong wheaty flavour, al dente, very enjoyable overall. really wished they would have made more for second servings. other dishes i loved were the daikon in dashi topped with uni, pork shabu shabu, and the veg tempura was also lovely. a great meal i highly recommend trying to book for your next trip to niseko, very afforable also. i heard they’re expanding so i really hope the homey-ness would be lost in the progress.
