Soba Mozemon
蕎麦 茂左衛門
A reservation-only 100% buckwheat soba restaurant in a satoyama old farmhouse, known for flying-fish dashi soba and a seasonal fresh-fish soba kaiseki.
Opened in 2014 in a Sado farmhouse built around 1960 and renovated, Soba Mozemon has no sign at the entrance, only a buckwheat noren curtain, and a resident cat greets guests. The restaurant specializes in 100% buckwheat soba, including the traditional Sado flying-fish dashi soba, where wild Japanese walnut can be ground fresh and added to the broth. Its soba kaiseki includes a dashi omelet, fresh fish of the day, fried dishes, soba and dessert. Seasonings such as soy sauce are also handmade. Reservations are required, by noon the day before. Lunch costs about 1,300–4,000 yen, dinner from about 4,000 yen. The restaurant is in a village about 11 minutes by car from Ryotsu Port, with only four parking spaces, so you need a car.
Opening hours
11:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m., 5:00–9:00 p.m.; closed Sun (open Sun and closed Mon during three-day weekends); reservation only
