Location is in Hakodate city, along Industrial Road. The parking lot is spacious, with room for over 10 cars, maybe around 15 could fit. Inside the restaurant is also spacious, with many sunken kotatsu-style seats and regular table seats for 2 or 4 people. There are no counter seats. I ordered the Tamago Toji Soba (soba noodles with scrambled egg) and a mini Katsudon set (cold). Some notes: - If you order warm soba noodles, you get a free mini portion of rice (more like a small rice portion than a bite-sized one). - They don't have warm Tannuki soba on the menu, but you can ask for warm soba noodles and get tempura bits on the side. - When I asked if they had warm Tannuki soba, they said they didn't, so I ended up ordering the Tamago Toji Soba. Later, I asked if I could have tempura bits, and they gave them to me for free. In hindsight, I could have just ordered plain soba with tempura bits. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * On a side note, this restaurant is also registered under the name "Fudemura Kamiyama Branch." It can be confusing sometimes, but I chose to only register it under this name.

I visited this restaurant that I used to go to since I was a child. It had been a while since I last visited during my homecoming. When I was a child, I loved the tempura rice bowl and always ate that, but looking at the menu now, I realized they have a wide variety of dishes. This time, I chose the tempura soba. The tempura and soba were delicious, but I think I still prefer the tempura rice bowl. I really liked the perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness in the tempura rice bowl sauce, so I should have chosen that one again.

I visited an old soba restaurant located along the industrial street of Mt. Kamiyama after a long time. The customers are mostly elderly. I had the moon-viewing soba. Some soba comes with free small rice. The dipping sauce is slightly spicy, and the soba is machine-made, so it doesn't have a strong fragrance.

In the evening, I searched for a delicious soba restaurant in Hakodate. However, many of them were closed or not answering the phone. Eventually, I stumbled upon an old, traditional soba restaurant. I ordered duck soba, squid tempura soba, squid tempura, shrimp tempura, and a beer. The duck broth in the duck soba was rich and delicious. However, the experience was a bit of a culture shock as they didn't provide towels, napkins, toothpicks, soba dipping sauce, or soba water. When I asked for additional tempura, they were accommodating but seemed to have a unique ordering system. Despite the quirks, the restaurant was bustling with customers enjoying their set meals. I left with mixed feelings but satisfied with the tasty soba.

I had been hearing about this place here and there, and I was curious (Is the rock seaweed bento really that delicious??) so I decided to try it. Oh, I couldn't help but blurt out (I love oyster fry) because I love oyster fry. Indeed, the rock seaweed bento is delicious. It's even better than a regular seaweed bento. The seaweed is crispy and has a thickness to it, giving it a nice texture and aroma. It's thick but can still be easily cut with chopsticks without everything sticking together. Oh, I didn't know that (Is it a different type?? What does that mean??... I apologize for my ignorance). Anyway, it was delicious. The oyster fry was hot and well-made. The soba was smooth and tasty. The restaurant keeps getting more and more customers, it's a popular place - it makes sense. Thank you for the delicious meal!

It seems to be one of the popular soba restaurants in Hakodate, judging by my first visit in September 2019. The city has a rich history, and it seems that there are many soba restaurants with a long history as well, as indicated by the building of this particular restaurant. Looking at the menu, prices are quite affordable with items like "Mori Soba" for 530 yen and "Tenzaru" for 1300 yen. Only two items, "Tenzaru" and "Extra Large Shrimp Tempura Soba," are priced over 1000 yen, making it a restaurant catering to the general public with its affordable prices. The menu is quite extensive, with over 30 soba options including both hot and cold varieties. While there are no particularly unique items, dishes like "Katsu Curry Soba" may be considered relatively rare. I was curious about some of the rice dishes, such as the "Dango Set Meal" and the "Iwanori Bento Set." For this visit, I ordered the "Cold Zaru Soba," as I often do when visiting a new soba restaurant. The price for the "Cold Zaru Soba" here is 750 yen, which is 220 yen more than the "Mori Soba." The toppings included tempura scraps, kamaboko, thin omelette, finely sliced cucumber, and chopped nori, which was decent. Personally, I consider a 50 yen increase per topping as a fair standard, with tempura scraps typically costing 50 yen. This restaurant charges 220 yen for five toppings, which I believe is reasonable. However, the quality of the toppings was disappointing. The tempura scraps were not crispy and were rather tough, while the kamaboko slices were too thick, giving a mediocre impression. These factors led to a deduction of 0.5 points in the taste evaluation. On the other hand, the lack of providing soba broth was the main negative aspect in terms of service. Despite waiting after finishing my meal, there was no indication that soba broth would be served, suggesting that this restaurant may not offer it with their zaru soba. If it were nearby, I would consider revisiting this restaurant, but for a trip to Hakodate specifically, I would like to try other restaurants next time.

Today is cold and I'm in the mood for hot pot. I feel like I haven't been coming here much lately?! I think the ashtray that used to be on the shelf is missing. It might just be my imagination though. I don't really mind, in fact, I kind of like it here. I usually go for the warm tempura soba or the hot pot udon, but occasionally I'll have the mini katsudon set. When I leave the restaurant, I smell like soba broth, but I don't mind that either.

[First Visit on November 15, 2018] This time, I was able to finish my 2-night, 3-day business trip to Hakodate as planned. After returning to Sapporo, I spent a few days organizing construction photos and completion documents, and then went on a day trip to Hakodate on November 9 with a colleague who is the registered person in charge of this project. On November 15, I had a completion inspection scheduled with the client's supervisor, so my colleague and I arrived in Hakodate the day before to make it easier. This is the final part of my Hakodate series. On the travel day of November 14, we made some minor adjustments at a site we were concerned about (which I couldn't do on my solo trip) with my colleague. Then we had lunch at a revolving sushi chain called "Kantarou" and a tonkatsu restaurant called "Katsukichi" in Hakodate. We checked into our regular hotel, Hotel Tetora Yunokawa Onsen. The completion inspection on the 15th started an hour earlier than planned, but we were able to finish inspecting 10 sites in Hakodate and 1 in Hokuto by noon. After the inspection, we had lunch at a soba restaurant called "Sobadokoro Fudemura" that we randomly stumbled upon. The restaurant had a traditional Japanese atmosphere and was quite spacious with 76 seats. The menu was reasonably priced and had a variety of set meals, attracting a diverse range of customers. I ordered the Duck Seiro with extra noodles, but the soba was softer than I prefer and lacked the usual firmness and flavor. The dipping sauce was not too sweet and had a decent broth flavor. Overall, the place seemed popular for its cost-effectiveness, catering to those who enjoy soba and rice bowls.

The tempura is delicious! It gets quite busy during lunchtime even on weekdays.
