Misawaya in Ouchijuku—when visiting this post town that preserves its Edo-period streetscape, of course you have to try the very distinctive “Takato Soba”! It was my first time seeing soba eaten with a green onion instead of chopsticks, and it was really unique. The cold soba had a lot of grated daikon, and the spiciness became quite noticeable toward the end; the other bowl of soba in hot broth was nice and warming. Personally, I thought the portions were a little large, but the vegetable tempura was delicious, and there was also a very unusual fried red bean bun that wasn’t greasy or too sweet. Overall, it was a very distinctive experience, and I recommend giving it a try when you visit Ouchijuku!

Eating noodles using a green onion as your chopsticks was honestly mind-blowing the first time I saw it.
The soba goes down really smoothly, and the onion actually pairs surprisingly well with the noodles.
By the end, I was kind of hooked.

Came to Ouchijuku for soba!
You use a big green onion instead of chopsticks.
That punchy, spicy kick is seriously unforgettable.
