I finally got to visit the restaurant today after wanting to go for a while but not having the chance. I arrived a bit early and the owner let me in while I waited in the parking lot. I sat by the window and ordered a warm egg and soba dish with a cake set, along with a hot coffee. The soba was really delicious, just the way I like it. The cake and coffee were also very tasty! After the customer who came in after me left in about 30 minutes, I had a nice chat with the owner during my dessert time.

Every Tuesday and Friday at lunchtime, there is a soba restaurant called "Hard-to-Reach Soba Shop" that only serves 6 meals per day. I remember being impressed by the soba made with peony seeds that I received three and a half years ago. The advantage of being a hobby soba shop with only 6 meals available is significant, but the basic skills are solid. The beautiful interior of the shop is just as pleasant as it was three and a half years ago. The plate of soba costs 600 yen and is a fine cut soba with a 80:20 ratio. The flavor and aroma during the aging process, as well as the texture and broth interaction, were all excellent, making it an enjoyable soba experience. What stood out the most was the passion of the chef who clearly loves soba. This soba spoke to me in a way that only good soba can. The chef's smile when I asked if anything had changed in the past three years was heartwarming. I realized that this flavor is due to the careful storage of the flour. The price of 600 yen is wonderful for a hobby shop. I shared my impressions from three years ago and this time, and the chef was very happy. When two soba lovers come together, the conversation is lively! Even the chef's wife, who was nodding along beside us, looked lively. Thank you for the meal. I will definitely come back again.

Yesterday, I had a rare weekday off and my wife was also off in the morning, so she wanted to go somewhere that is only open on weekdays. We found a soba and cafe restaurant called "Mori no Soba" that is only open on Tuesdays and Fridays. They only serve 6 servings of soba! We hurried to arrive as soon as they opened. When we entered, there were already 2 customers ahead of us. Phew, we made it in time! My wife and I ordered the zaru soba. It arrived in about 20 minutes. The noodles were chewy and the broth was slightly sweet, just the way I like it. It was delicious, thank you for the meal. By the way, after us, two more groups arrived and the soba sold out within 30 minutes of opening.

On this day, I decided to eat soba at "Morinobo" restaurant. They are only open on Tuesdays and Fridays, and I had been eyeing this place for a while. When I called to confirm if they were open during the period when the state of emergency had not been lifted yet, they were closed. Also, I had already secured a job that required me to work on weekends starting in early July, so my available days to visit the restaurant were quite limited. I was worried because the Sapporo branch of the restaurant had no clear plans to reopen even after the lifting of the state of emergency. But when I called to make a reservation, they said they had reopened. So I thought, now is the only chance to go! I wonder if other non-bar restaurants have reopened as well, depending on the branch. It's reassuring. I made a reservation for the opening time and headed to the restaurant. When I entered, I told them I had a reservation for today, and I was seated at a table. I ordered the "Sansai Soba (¥800)" and the "Cake Set A (¥650)". Today's cake was a baked cheesecake. After the meal, coffee is also included. The soba arrived in about 10 minutes. It was topped with various ingredients like green onions, fish cake, nameko mushrooms, warabi, kikurage mushrooms, and fine bamboo shoots commonly used in mountain vegetable soba. The noodles were thin and had a good elasticity even when soaked in the broth, maintaining a smooth and slippery texture. The broth was not too salty and easy to drink. You can also add chili peppers for extra flavor. I couldn't help but finish the broth completely. The cheesecake was rich and smooth, with an ideal taste. It paired well with the coffee, making you want to eat more. The attention to detail in both the soba and the cake was evident. There are also keychains and pouches for sale. They were a bit pricey at ¥1500. By the way, there was a Dore-kun plushie in the store, and it was clear that the couple running the restaurant were fans of Consadole Sapporo. They even offer free coffee to members of the Consadole Sapporo fan club! I'm not a member, and I'm not very familiar with the team, so I couldn't enjoy that service. The husband mentioned that he prefers warm soba. I haven't visited many soba restaurants, so I need to start exploring more. It's quite a challenge to visit a restaurant with such limited operating days, especially when the specific days are even more restricted. But once you visit, you'll be greeted with delicious soba! If you happen to have a day off on the days they are open, be sure to visit! Thank you for the meal.

We discovered a soba restaurant with high standards that is only open on Tuesdays and Fridays, just as our friend requested while driving from Lake Shikotsu to Chitose. It was fate that we visited on a Tuesday! On this day, they only had 6 servings of soba available, but luckily we were able to get some. We tried the "Sara Mori Soba" (600 yen including tax), which had finely cut soba with a sweet taste when chewed thoroughly. The soba was served on a plate without any water pooling at the bottom. The soba broth had a gentle flavor with a nice balance of dashi and salt. The portion size was generous for the price. Our friend tried the "Tamago Toji Soba" (700 yen including tax) which had fluffy scrambled eggs on top. They said it was delicious! It's hard to catch the right timing, but we hope to try the cake set next time. Thank you, "Morino Tonari"!

This is a place in Chitose City, at 6-10 Hokko in a residential area called Nakakoji, so as always, please check the exact location on the map on Tabelog. The restaurant is open on Tuesdays and Fridays with short hours, and they offer a very limited number of soba servings, so I was very curious and decided to visit this place. As I approached the restaurant, I couldn't find it even though I saw the soba flag. After checking the map on Tabelog, I found out it was in a residential area on Nakakoji. I finally arrived at the restaurant, parked my car in the front parking lot, took off my shoes at the entrance, and sat at an available table. I ordered the "Soba set" from the menu and waited for it to arrive. It appeared in about 4-5 minutes, served on a plate. First, I tried the soba noodles as they were, and they were firm with a good texture and a nice soba flavor. Then I tried the soba broth, which had a light fish stock and soy sauce that was easy to enjoy. Lastly, I tried the soba water, which was relatively light. I finished by mixing the leftover soba broth with soba water. I arrived at the restaurant around 12:20 pm, and it seemed like my soba was the last one served that day. If you plan to visit this place, I recommend going before 12 pm to ensure you can get a serving.

Oh, this soba is really good. That was my first impression. A soba restaurant located in a residential area in the Chitose Mayor's area, converted from a house. The restaurant has a strong hobbyist element, with Consadole flags and mascots in front of the entrance and inside the store, a dynamic calligraphy frame displayed in the entrance, and calligraphy tools neatly arranged in the open tatami room. By the way, it seems that there is a special service for Consadole supporters. Although I didn't have high expectations for the soba, the dish turned out to be quite impressive. - Plate of soba (600 yen): The fact that they emphasize "plate" in the name shows their knowledge and awareness of soba. "Morisoba" originally refers to soba served in a soup bowl, so it might be considered appropriate from a historical perspective. They used Bonten soba flour from Kaoi for this 80/20 ratio cut thin soba. This suits my taste perfectly. The thin cut goes well with the 80/20 ratio... The soba has a moist and chewy texture with a moderate roughness, and the firmness is just right. The soba is drained perfectly, with no water pooling at the bottom of the plate. The chilled thin soba has a refreshing texture, a new soba-like flavor, and a sufficient sweetness characteristic of Bonten soba. The soup has a sharp umami flavor, with a mellow return that blends in smoothly, creating a rounded medium-bodied soup. The soba and soup match well. The condiments are also satisfactory, and the soba-yu is a clear and smooth kettle water. I really liked this soba. When I asked the friendly couple running the place about the soba, they confidently mentioned that they offer thin cuts of their favorite Bonten soba. They also shared that they provide soba as a hobby, and their training is more like a hobby club. The couple seems to be passionate about watching soccer, calligraphy, and focusing on their retirement, so the limited operating days, hours, and servings are more store-oriented. However, their attentive hospitality is commendable. If both parties share a common value and preference for delicious soba, then isn't that enough? Such a relationship might just work. ...The soba here is undeniably delicious.

Tuesday... I must go! I was the first one at 11:30! Only 6 servings available on this day! I ordered grated soba. It's made from new soba from Kaoicho Town. Let's see, let's have a taste! Soba and a small cup, but they're switched! (^^; I'm sure MyレビSR would be pleased. Haha! Oh! It's my type, and it tastes delicious. The portion size is just right. 150g? 160g? Boss: "Close! It's 155 grams! Haha." I don't understand the last 5, but they're particular about it! The boss, who likes concerts, soba, and calligraphy, said that concerts are his main hobby, so they can't open on weekends. They're open on Sundays in January and February! I must bring my wife next time! Grated soba for 700 yen. Thank you for the meal! (^^)v

I came here because of my connection to Consadole. The soba noodles are limited to 8 servings (today) and I can only come during summer vacation, so I'm glad they have it. The hand-made soba noodles are thin, but the aroma of the soba is really authentic. It's not too strong, and personally, I like this kind of soba. The broth also goes perfectly with the soba. For younger people who prefer rich and heavy flavors, it might be a bit lacking. Consadole supporters can enjoy a complimentary coffee service after their meal (with a membership card, or just mentioning that you're a supporter). I didn't order the cake set this time, so it's something to look forward to next time I visit. However, they are only open on Tuesdays and Fridays, so I wonder when I can go next.

It is a residential area in Chitose. I found a new restaurant on Google Maps and decided to visit it alone for the first time on a weekday. The restaurant was converted from a tea room to a store, as it also serves as a residence. I borrowed slippers at the entrance and entered. I couldn't take pictures discreetly, but the staff kindly allowed me to take photos. I ordered the set meal of soba served on a plate for 600 yen and the cake set A (coffee & cake) for 600 yen. It was a bit chilly, so I followed the regulars and opted for the cold soba. I realized that the plate serving was good for draining water, so I saved 50 yen by choosing that over the zaru soba. I ate the soba plain, without any toppings, as the regulars do. The soba had a nice aroma and a slight chewiness. Just before finishing, they served me soba-yu, which was clear and not cloudy. I usually take a sip, but this time I drank it all. I decided to go for the full course and ordered the coffee and today's cake, which was a cheesecake without much sourness and the right amount of sweetness. The restaurant, as seen in Google Maps photos, only serves 10 meals and is open only two days a week (Tuesdays and Fridays). When I saw the sign on the road for the first time, I was relieved that they were still open. On that day, they had only 5 servings left. When I asked how many servings were left, they said there were 3 more servings after the two customers before me. The restaurant is run by a husband and wife, with the husband handling the soba, coffee, serving, and customer service, while the wife takes care of the cakes. The background music was not jazz but HBC Radio. They mentioned that they don't have any particular preferences and make things based on their own tastes. They like thin noodles and slightly sweet broth. They also mentioned that if there were reservations or requests, they could make the noodles thicker, although just slightly. They were very friendly and easy to talk to. Since it's close to my workplace, I don't usually eat soba, but I want to try all the items on the menu. I also want to recommend it to my colleagues. Thank you for the delicious meal.
