[Artisanal Soba for Just 880 Yen: Hand-Crafted Noodles Amidst Rural Scenery]

Today’s visit took me to "Teuchi Ekimae Soba Abiki" in Kasai City.
This hidden gem is run by a master craftsman with 23 years of dedication to the art of soba✨

The buckwheat seeds are carefully selected at their own factory in Fukui and stone-ground right in the shop. The soup base is made with three-year-aged Tajima soy sauce and thick-cut bonito flakes—the level of commitment here is simply incredible🫢

At only 880 yen per bowl, this dish is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship.
Located right in front of Abiki Station on the Hojo Railway, the counter seats offer a peaceful view of the countryside and the slow-passing trains. Enjoying your soba while feeling the seasonal breeze is pure bliss.
The shop is filled with the passion of the owner, Mr. Hakozaki, who believes that "sincerity is what matters most."
