Kenzō Soba
けんぞう蕎麦
A popular soba restaurant in Matsuoka, Eiheiji-chō, known for hand-cut ten-wari soba with grated daikon and its Kenzō soba with pungent radish juice.
One of the most popular soba restaurants in Fukui Prefecture, included in the official tourism website's "17 Echizen Soba Selected by Locals." The noodles mix Fukui-grown and Hokkaido-grown buckwheat flour and are made as fine-cut ten-wari noodles. The menu centers on grated daikon soba and Kenzō soba, which uses pungent radish juice, along with five-gō soba for sharing. Guests sign in at the door and wait for a seat. It is especially crowded on weekends, and the noodles sell out. Grated daikon soba costs about JPY 770 and Kenzō soba about JPY 1,100. It is about a 10-minute walk from Echizen Railway Matsuoka Station and has about 30 parking spaces.
Opening hours
11:00–14:00 (until 15:00 on weekends and holidays), closes when sold out; closed Mondays (open on public holidays, with the following day off)
