Nagasaki-ya, located near the south exit of Obihiro Station, has been reported to be closing down. Across the road from Nagasaki-ya is a soba restaurant. The parking lot is small. The interior of the restaurant has 3 tables for 4 people and 2 low tables. You order by looking at the menu on the table and on the kitchen wall. As soon as you enter the restaurant, the owner is already preparing to take your order. It felt like they were trying to assist customers promptly rather than rushing them. I ordered the "Hiyashi Nuki" for 850 yen. The soba was served with water. I would have preferred to have water first. The soba had chopped nori, green onions, kamaboko, green beans, a half-boiled egg, and tenkasu toppings, with a simple and rustic flavor. My partner's "Mori Soba" for 700 yen looked like a small portion. I visited in September, and there was a notice saying they would be closed on the 9th, 13th, and 14th. They may only take 3 days off per month. Also, the male owner here, I think I may have seen him at a certain longstanding bar in the city. If I'm mistaken, I apologize.

I missed lunch time and finally found this place by searching on Tabelog. It's a relief that it's not too crowded before evening. It seems like an old establishment, with some elderly customers coming in. It's your typical neighborhood soba shop, but there's something heartwarming about it. The sincere personality of the owner, who has lived a dedicated life, enhances the taste of the soba.

On Saturday at 2:30 pm, I was looking for a late lunch spot and found that most soba restaurants were closing at 2:30 pm. I ended up at this place, conveniently located across from Nagasakiya Obihiro store. There was a parking lot available and the restaurant had a traditional and charming atmosphere. Since it was late, I was the only customer there. The main menu was written on the kitchen counter, so I could only take a picture of the limited menu on the table. I couldn't find any side dishes on the menu. The restaurant did not have air conditioning, and since it was a hot day, I ordered the large portion of cold soba for 750 yen. It arrived after about 10 minutes, as shown in the photo. The soba noodles were not too cold, and the texture was a bit soft. The garnish of green onions was a bit dry. I understood that this was an old-fashioned soba restaurant supported by regular customers. Thank you for the meal.

I stopped by on my way back from the barber shop. I generally like soba noodles. I enjoy authentic soba, but also simple soba. The tempura with chicken and mountain vegetables was delicious. There are three more varieties to try, so I will stop by again on my way back from the barber shop.

Today, I visited a shop that I had been curious about every time I passed by. I went to Soba Restaurant Ajinomido for the first time. It was 11:48 am. There were no customers before me, and one group came in after me. The location is across the street from Nagasakiya. There is also a parking lot next to the store. The place looked a bit old but cozy, with small tables and a raised seating area. The prices are very reasonable. Today, it was chilly so I ordered the Tempura Soba for 580 yen (tax included). It arrived in about 10 minutes. The tempura was a large round pre-made piece. The soba was decent, but it reminded me of the nostalgic feeling of eating soba at a station in the past. Thank you for the meal.

I went to Fuji Megane at Nagasaki-ya in Obihiro for repairs and decided to have lunch at Soba-dokoro Midori nearby. I chose the Tsukimi Soba, which was very delicious. I was satisfied.

I stayed in Obihiro and got hungry around noon, so I found a soba restaurant nearby and decided to go in. The tempura soba was delicious. I ended up finishing every last drop.

I happened to stop by at lunchtime and it felt like an old-fashioned soba restaurant, but it seemed like they had renovated as the inside was new. The menu also had a traditional feel to it and the atmosphere was nice. I ordered the tempura soba with grated yam in a large portion. The taste was simple and the noodles were soft. The broth was gentle enough to drink all of it, and it had a nostalgic flavor. The owner was friendly, and the overall atmosphere was good. If you're looking to eat nostalgic soba, I highly recommend this place.

I really wanted to eat soba, so it was convenient that they were open even at the odd hour of 4 o'clock. I had missed lunch and was starving, so I ordered the grated yam soba for 800 yen.

Today is my third time here. The sauce is not too strong and doesn't get boring. This time, I had "kashiwa soba with extra noodles and egg topping".

I felt like eating soba over the weekend and happened to come across "Midori" on my way to shopping. I had the "Tamago Toji" and "Kashiwa" there. The broth was just right, not too strong, and I finished it easily.

I tried it for the first time. I ordered parent and child soba, and both the noodles and broth were delicious. The parking lot is shared, so if it's your first time, you might be confused, but it's located on the west side of the shop. I would like to visit again.

I visited for lunch and ordered the tempura soba, but I was surprised to find that the tempura was thin. It was thinner than Donbei instant noodles. However, the owner's personality was good.

On this day, there was a food event nearby and it seemed quiet when I entered. I was the only one there. There is a parking lot next to the shop, so it's okay to come by car. I was hungry, so I ordered a large portion of zaru soba. It was just ordinary soba, I think it was hand-made using a mix of 80% buckwheat flour and 20% wheat flour. The soba sauce was also ordinary. Elderly people waiting for the bus kept coming in, as the shop is in front of a bus stop. They seemed to be regular customers who ordered without looking at the menu. The phone rang with a nostalgic rotary dial sound, it was a black telephone! It was quite touching. Many people were ordering rice bowls instead of soba. Perhaps the rice bowls are more popular than the soba here.

I visited the soba restaurant Ajino Midori for the first time today. It was a Sunday and I stopped by after going to the barber shop. It's just a short walk away, about 30 seconds (laughs). I've been meaning to come here for a while but never got around to it until today. The restaurant was about half full and it seemed to be run by a couple. I wondered what to order and decided on the tempura and mountain vegetable soba in a large size for 920 yen including tax. It was a cold day with snow in April, so I wanted something warm. As I waited, I noticed that most of the other customers were having zaru soba. When my order arrived after about 10 minutes, I found the soba a bit lukewarm and the noodles slightly overcooked. However, the mountain vegetables were delicious. Next time, I'll definitely go for the zaru soba. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

I often see this place nearby, but I never had the chance to visit because it seemed intimidating to non-regulars. However, this time I saw an empty seat from the entrance and decided to give it a try. The small space had only 4-person tables, so my arrival made it full. I ended up sharing a table with another customer. I ordered the usual, mori soba.

Obihiro is a soba restaurant located facing Aoba Street, with Nagasakiya visible in front. The parking lot is located behind the shop. Inside, there are three 4-person tables and two sunken tables. The shop is run by the husband and wife. The menu is simple, like a casual soba restaurant. I ordered the "Parent and Child Soba for 650 yen", and after a while, it arrived. The dish came in a white bowl with fluffy egg and chicken visible. The noodles were a light brown color, typical of country-style soba. The texture was slightly soft, and the soba flavor was authentic. The dipping sauce was hot and rich, not too sweet, warming you up from the inside. After finishing the meal, I felt relieved, and the greeting from the owner was very pleasant. I hope this shop continues to thrive. Thank you for the meal.

This is "Soba-dokoro Midori" in Obihiro City. Located at 10 Nishi 5-jo Minami 13-chome, opposite Nagasaki-ya Obihiro store. It is not in a busy area, and the exterior of the shop is not very noticeable, so it seems to have many regular customers. I visited this place to have a light lunch after attending a lecture at the nearby civic hall. There are three 4-person tables and two 4-person raised tatami seating areas. The tables and chairs have a traditional atmosphere, giving off a sense of an old-established shop. I had the "Tempura Soba" in a large serving. The prices have reportedly gone up compared to before, but it is still reasonably priced. The taste is comforting and familiar, just like the feeling of a casual and friendly local soba shop. Nowadays, dining out for soba has become more upscale, losing the sense of familiarity. However, when you want to eat quickly and affordably, this shop is perfect, just like a standing soba shop. The nostalgic interior and the elderly couple running the shop are also very soothing.

I wanted to have a quick lunch by myself, so I visited Soba no Midori. It was 12:30 and there were no seats available for solo diners, so I sat at a shared table. Looking at the menu on the wall, it seemed like prices were generally around 100 yen higher than before. Nonetheless, the zaru soba for 580 yen seemed reasonable. The dish arrived in about 10 minutes since there were customers waiting. The soba noodles were fresh and the dipping sauce was moderately flavored. The soba broth didn't have much aroma. Overall, the place is affordable and quick, making it a good choice for busy male office workers who want to have a quick meal. I had this meal at a soba restaurant run by the staff of Kuro-nbo, who are currently under construction. Thank you for the meal.
