Soba Restaurant Katsura, located in Sagae, Yamagata, is a popular spot known for its delicious soba noodles and tempura. This restaurant is particularly famous for its cold meat soba and kakiage (tempura) made with small shrimp. Expect a queue, especially during peak hours, but the wait is worthwhile. The restaurant offers both table and tatami seating, making it suitable for families with children. It's best to arrive early, especially on weekends, to secure a seat. The refined soba broth and crispy tempura, crafted by a chef with Kyoto cuisine experience, make this a delightful culinary experience.
