Soba Sake House Zen
蕎麦酒房 膳
A handmade soba restaurant in a century-old traditional house, using Shinshu-grown buckwheat flour and North Alps spring water. It is one of the most recommended soba restaurants in Hakuba.
Located near Echoland in Hakuba Village, next to the soba place “Riki.” The shop was converted from a traditional house more than a century old. The soba is handmade with locally grown Shinshu buckwheat flour and North Alps spring water. At lunch there is a limited quantity of aromatic jūwari (100% buckwheat) soba, along with smooth nihachi (80% buckwheat) soba. In the evening, you can pair the noodles with local sake and small dishes. Lunch does not take reservations, and the soba sells out, so the shop is very crowded in peak summer and winter seasons. Dinner reservations are accepted. Credit cards and PayPay are accepted. About 10 minutes’ drive from Hakuba Station.
Opening hours
11:00–14:00 (until sold out), 17:30–20:30 (last order 20:00); closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays
