Tsuzumi Soba
Enjoy an authentic bowl of Takayama ramen at a long-established hand-cut noodle shop.
Tsuzumi Soba is a Chinese noodle specialty restaurant founded in 1953. This long-established noodle shop serves carefully made hand-cut noodles. It is known as one of the places where you can enjoy Takayama Ramen, a local specialty of Hida Takayama.
The signature dish is “Chuka Soba.” It features thin, hand-cut curly noodles and a clear soy sauce-based soup made with pork bones and vegetables. The flavor is light, yet rich and full of umami. “Chashu Men,” topped with tender pork and richly flavored fat with a hint of sweetness, is also popular. Other menu items include “Wonton Men” and the summer-only “Hiyashi Chuka Soba.” For toppings, you can add egg (boiled or raw), and rice is also available as a side. However, alcoholic drinks are not served, making this a place to simply enjoy the flavors of the noodles.
The restaurant has 28 seats in total, including counter and table seating. The space has the feel of a traditional old-style diner. It is conveniently located for stopping by while exploring the Hida Takayama area. This is also a great spot to experience the food culture unique to Hida Takayama.
