What an experience! The service was beyond amazing, and the owners were super friendly. We were able to reserve a table in advance for lunch and enjoyed a multiple course tasting. Everything was presented like beautiful art and you can tell they really take pride in their craft. I highly recommend to anyone stopping by Niseko to experience this wonderful meal!

Managed to secure a booking for lunch here, 10min walk from Annapurni ski base. Attentive owners looking after us, lovely to see soba making and getting to taste it was even better. Each course was sooo tasty!

Excellent soba noodle restaurant, they make it from scratch in front of the guests, the chef uses different kind of stick to roll the dough…... Owner is a very lovely old couples, lady boss is very elegant looking and friendly. Food overall is great, except the sabu sabu is not really our taste (but that’s just a personal thing as we prefer sukiyaki more than plain fish stock sabu sabu)………

Excellent food and service from a couple. They were very nice and the lady keep checking whether everything was OK. Soba noodles are made in the restaurant itself and served toward end of meal.
