A restaurant just after crossing Kintaikyo Bridge toward Kikko Park. It’s a popular place to try Yamaguchi’s local specialty “kawara soba,” served on a heated roof tile.
Kawara soba is green tea soba topped with beef, shredded egg, lemon, maple chili daikon, and more, then dipped in sauce. The crispy, tile-seared noodles and slightly sweet dipping sauce are a perfect match, making it seriously addictive. Iwakuni’s famous pressed sushi, “Iwakuni sushi,” and salt karaage are also popular, and many people order them with kawara soba. Ordering is done by buying a ticket at the vending machine when you enter. The touch-panel machine shows large, photo-based menus, making it easy even for first-timers.
This area is known as a soft-serve hotspot, and this place also sells takeout soft-serve. Options range from classic flavors to fun picks like the “White Snake Soft Serve,” topped with an icing cookie.
