Santate Soba Nagahata-an
三たてそば 長畑庵
A famous 100% buckwheat soba shop run by the Nagahata processing cooperative, freshly ground, rolled and cooked to order, with no tempura and frequent long lines.
Opened by the Nagahata processing cooperative to revitalize the village, the shop grinds its own Nagahata-grown buckwheat flour in-house. It serves 'Santate' 100% buckwheat soba, freshly milled, rolled and cooked to order. The menu is pure: only soba, and no tempura since opening. Cold mori soba costs 750 yen and zaru soba 850 yen, and you can order extra portions by the go measure. Kenchin-jiru soup is available in winter for 500 yen. Demand is high. There was once a wait of one hour for those in line at number 30, and the soba sells out, so arrive early. The shop is in Nagahata, toward Imaichi, about 21 minutes' walk from Tobu Myojin Station. It has 20 parking spaces and is better reached by car.
Opening hours
11:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. (last entry 2:30 p.m.; closes when sold out); closed Tue and Fri
