The Fukushima learned about as a place near the number of whole nationalization. The near cultivation is popular from the old days in Aizu area in the prefecture west, and aromatic Buckweat using "the fragrance of Aizu" and "near Yamato (Japan)" of Aizu native breed becomes popular. Aizuwakamatsu-shi where even the inside is the center of the Aizu area is dotted with a Soba Noodles store much. I'll introduce a recommendation store localness.

Foundation, 1971 (1971). The lower back by which Buckweat by which Aizu sangen soba of high quality was used and stone mill grind, private flour milling and reconciliation were carried without exception has the fragrance and the elasticity is the feature. Three "kind zanmai of wheat noodles served on a wickerwork plate near" the commitment of local specialty can taste 3 kinds of Buckweat of "Iide (I'm here and come.), avatar Soba Noodles" "Aizu stubborn Soba Noodles" "the fragrance of Aizu" together, and the fragrance and the difference over the throats can be enjoyed. When I don't put it on the 'soba' dipping sauce, put raw Japanese horseradish with that and taste, the fragrance of the Buckweat is more outstanding.

The artistic tile roof taken over from an old storehouse catches eye in the downtown area where a restaurant stands in a row. The big sign inserted in an entrance is the one a store owner carved by hand, and the personality seems transmitted from an interesting style of handwriting.
The space where the pillar which used old material in an old private house in the store, wiped it up and did lacquer, a beam and a window frame also calmed down is produced. A handrail in the stairs where I chose between buckwheat husk in an embedded wall and a rolling pin including the table of an arch where a lid of the wine cask was used, everywhere, a youthful spirit shines. The Buckweat tasted in the store filled with commitment seems felt better.
