[2025 Nagano Restaurant] Travel Guide for Uzuraya (Updated Mar)

Nagano is famous for its soba noodles, but Togakushi’s soba is the most famous delicacy. I accidentally parked in the parking lot of Sobachu Uzura in the alley, walked along the path back to the intersection and queued up at Sobachu Uzura. It is only open until 4 o'clock and requires on-site registration and queueing. Local agricultural products are also sold at the entrance of the store, and of course, there is also their own buckwheat noodles. What is special is that you can clearly see the master chef making buckwheat noodles by hand through the glass window at the entrance! It's really magical. Start with a small dough and slowly knead it, flatten it, and knead it again until it becomes a super large, thin, and flat dough, and finally it is cut into buckwheat noodles. After waiting for about 30 minutes, we found a seat inside and were taken directly to the second floor to dine. The waiter was very kind and asked us where we were from. The interior of the restaurant is very traditional, very Japanese style. You need to take off your shoes and sit cross-legged, but it is very comfortable and relaxed. The employees are also very enthusiastic and polite. We looked at the menu and ordered using translation software. The food was served very quickly and the whole table was filled with delicious food in a short while. Our brother has always praised soba noodles as being super delicious! 😋After we finished eating, we went downstairs to pay the bill and met the master who was kneading the dough. He was very old and had a back brace on his waist. It should be the occupational injury caused by kneading buckwheat noodles by hand for many years. However, he greeted us warmly and kindly. He asked us where we were from in English, and was very happy that we came and wished us a pleasant journey. It was really a super warm greeting.

The soba restaurant "Uzuraya" where you can eat delicious Togakushi soba is located near Togakushi Nakasha Shrine😊 When I visited the restaurant just before 11am, there were already many customers waiting in front of the restaurant. There was a 1-2 hour wait, but I was able to write my "current time" and "name" on the waiting list in front of the restaurant and go sightseeing, which was very helpful. When I returned at the time the staff told me, I was guided smoothly. The soba noodles were chewy and smooth, and when eaten with spicy grated daikon (a condiment unique to Togakushi), it was very delicious 😋 Menu Zaru soba 900 yen Large serving of zaru soba 1100 yen Zaru tororo soba 1140 yen Ten zaru soba 1830 yen, etc. Assorted mountain vegetables and vegetable tempura 1000 yen Assorted mushroom tempura 1000 yen Prawn tempura (one skewer) 450 yen From the large window inside the restaurant, you can see the very large Sanbonsugi (the third tree) of Togakushi 🌲 "Soba Restaurant Uzuraya" 📍Japan, 〒381-4101, Nagano City, Togakushi 3229 Opening hours 10:30~15:30 Closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays
