“A soba restaurant in Yamagata with a 100-year tradition that was selected by the French government as one of the world’s best 1000 restaurants.”
Established in 1920, Araki Soba is a popular and long-established soba restaurant in Murayama that continues its 100-year tradition.
This is a country house with a thatched roof from the late Edo period that has been renovated and used as a store.
The 30-tatami-sized store also has an irori hearth, and the tatami flooring means you have to take off your shoes before entering.
In 2015, Arakisoba was the only restaurant in Tohoku to be selected out of 127 Japanese restaurants in France’s “La Liste”, which selects 1,000 gourmet restaurants from around the world. ”
