[Yamagata Prefecture] Delicious, filling, and cost-effective! Soba restaurant “Ichian” in Tendo City

Ramen consumption is back to number one in Japan! The topic of...Yamagata Prefecture is still fresh in my memory. Of course the ramen is delicious, but for Tohoku residents, when we think of Yamagata, we think of ``soba .

``Soba Kaido'' where soba restaurants are concentrated, and when you visit, the best thing to do is to ``Let's eat some delicious soba!'' will be introducing Ichian , a soba restaurant located in Tendo City, Yamagata Prefecture, which is the soba kingdom

Soba restaurant Ichian reopened in 2022 after an unfortunate accident.

Ichian, a soba restaurant located near Tendo Minami Station on the Ou Main Line in Tendo City, Yamagata Prefecture, temporarily closed its doors due to a fire at the end of 2021, but will reopen in June 2022.

Ichian was burnt down...
even though it's the New Year's Eve soba season ( •́ㅿ•̀ )
It's a shame because it's so delicious that even on weekdays there are people waiting in line to open (ノД`) pic.twitter.com/96JIDoXmvo

The store was built in 2022, so you might mistake it for a new store, but it is a store with a long history.

There are two parking lots, one in front of the store and one across the road, but since it is a popular store, it fills up quickly at lunchtime.

I have visited the store twice, but the first time I visited after 2 p.m., I parked my car in the parking lot in front of the store and entered the store easily, but the second time I went there just in time for the store to open at 11 a.m., the store was already open before it opened. Huge queue. The first parking lot in front of the store was full and I was able to park in the second parking lot across the street.

If you go at lunchtime, be prepared to wait in line. By the way, the second time I visited, I waited in line for about 40 minutes before finally getting in.

A popular restaurant that is delicious, filling, and offers the best value for money.

Basically, all of them are recommended, but ``Ichian Soba'', , seems to be popular! Cold meat soba sauce is attached to the soba plate.

In this day and age, this volume and this price. I am very satisfied with the price. And it's delicious.

The chilled meat soba I received on my first visit . Perhaps because it's cold, the meat is firm and filling. Personally, I like the thick soba noodles and the texture that makes them break in your mouth. The soup is also delicious!

the mini sauce cutlet bowl taste like curry? A slightly unexpected flavor that makes you feel.

On my second visit, I ordered a large serving of Nishiki-ita Soba I think it's quite rare to find a restaurant where you can eat Chinese noodles in this style. It's fun to eat it while comparing it with soba. The tempura in the set was also crispy and delicious.

Since I came to the restaurant hungry, I ended up making a large serving, but the portion was so large that I would have been happy with a regular serving.

I think this is a highly recommended restaurant for people who want to enjoy Yamagata soba to their heart's content!
