Original Soba Restaurant Since 1898

While most of the Japanese cities start the day early, some older towns open late and their business hours are short, till 6pm. I think that’s how they lead a healthy and long-living life.

On a fine Sunday morning, I took a short walk in the old town of Hida-Takayama. Most of the shops were still closed till at around 9am. It looked the same everywhere: old wooden traditional Japanese houses, not that many people on the street, no cars. Surprisingly, there was no restaurants nor shops signs. It looked quite different from my last visit.

Yet it was a nice walk with no tourists, no cars. Then I saw this “Hand made soba” red sign.
走在沒有遊客、沒有車、甚至沒有幾個途人的老街其實很舒服。然後被一個紅色的「手打蕎麥麵」招牌吸引。

Then I walked close to take a look at restaurant and found that it’s the original restaurant of Ebisu Soba since 1898.
走近看,發現是「惠比壽」蕎麥麵本店,創於1898年!

It was still early in the morning. The main chef was making noodles by the window.
早上還沒有開門,看見一位師傅在窗邊製作麵條。是真材實料地手做蕎麥麵。

Zaru soba (cold soba noodle) is the signature soba here. Ebisu Soba Restaurant is proud of carrying the traditional way of making noodles for 4 generations, using 75% of fresh grounded buckwheat flour to ensure the highest quality and low calorie.

Was it good? You bet. All ingredients were fresh, including the vegetables. Only in Japan I would have tempura. So fresh and crispy.
好不好吃?你話呢?這裏的蔬菜、麵和蝦都是新鮮現做。我只有在日本才會吃天婦羅的,十分鬆脆可口!
