The best pairing of handmade soba and homemade curry!Keema curry, which has been popular for many years, is exquisite.A hideaway cafe in a lovely log houseAnyway, the atmosphere is greatA log house that blends into the natural landscapeFor soba and curry, try this place.It's the best combinationPets are allowed on the terrace seats.Despite the intense summer heat, the inside of the store is amazing.The cool breeze without air conditioning is really comfortableI want to try the popular curry and soba noodles.I'm happy with the keema curry and soba set that satisfies both.A satisfying and filling meal at 1,780 yen.Stewed beef tendon curry for those who don't like spicy foodKeema curry for those who like spicy foodYou can choose from 3 levels of spiciness: medium, high, and extremely spicy.Shinshu handmade soba noodles are thin and chewy.It was delicious! Perfect for the hot summer!Eat while sipping the soup. The best!Choose medium spicy keema curryRich ground meat with spices is exquisiteThe spiciness is gradual, so even extremely spicy food will be fine.The rice is germinated brown rice, which goes great with keema.You can change to white rice, but I prefer this.This is an addictive keema curry that you will want to eat again.The warmth of wood and the relaxing interior of the storeNot only the food, but also the space and atmosphere.That's the number one attraction. This is a famous store that you definitely want to visit.

This is my third time here, and this time I had a large serving of yam soba. I felt that the soba noodles were thinner and my hips were stronger, and they tasted better than before.

I was cycling and it was pouring down with 5km/200m left to Lake Shirakaba, but luckily I saw a sign nearby, took shelter from the rain, and stopped while eating curry nanban🍜The woody interior resembles that of a mountain lodge cafe, with paintings and accessories on display, and the wife speaks in a friendly manner, making you feel at ease. The soba noodles were also delicious.

“A log house soba restaurant that has suddenly increased its presence.”Even after the coronavirus pandemic, there are still many soba restaurants that have been forced to close due to health problems due to the aging population and vaccinations, but many are stubbornly fighting hard and surviving on only soba and curry. , a shop that looks like a shooting king. Unfortunately, a nearby popular rival store closed this month, and its presence has suddenly increased.The soba noodles have a firm texture, and for me, who like large portions and firm noodles, it's satisfying to eat and can be exchanged.Pets are also allowed on the outside terrace.The standard curry is beef tendon, but unfortunately I can't eat it, so please refer to other people's comments.Maybe the mismatch between log house and soba noodles is refreshing? (*´∀`)♪

On Saturday (April 25, 2015), we went over Lake Shirakaba and Daimon Pass.A collaboration menu of handmade soba and keema curry at Himekidaira's ``Walden''.I visited this shop twice when I bought my car three years ago, but I haven't visited this shop since then.Earlier this year, I was approached by the owner and his wife at Chika Takahashi's concert at Blue Line Garage Cafe 18, and I decided to visit again.In fact, Chika Takahashi often appears at sightseeing events in Himekidaira.It seems that there is a connection there.This restaurant is recommended for both soba and curry lovers. . .

I used the restaurant.It was delicious as usual.It takes a long time to be served, so if you're in a hurry, I think it's best not to order it.I didn't eat it, but the curry looked delicious.
