Shinbashi Soba
しんばし
A handmade soba shop near the Yuzawa Highland gondola station, where thick katagi soba and oversized maitake tempura are the signature dishes.
The handmade funori katagi soba noodles are thick and chewy, served with a rich dipping sauce. The maitake tempura is large and crisp, and even the small portion is generous. Other offerings include dried herring simmered for three days, fried mochi, and hot sake served in iron kettles. After renovation, the shop has a modern look, and from the counter you can see large pots of noodles being cooked and tempura being fried. It is a seven-minute walk from the west exit of Echigo-Yuzawa Station, on the way to the Yuzawa Highland gondola, and meal times often mean a wait.
