Tsukasa-an Handmade Soba Restaurant is a hidden gem located amidst the tranquil rice fields of Minamiizu. This charming soba shop, slightly off the beaten path from the Matsuzaki Kaido road connecting Izukyu Shimoda to Matsuzaki, offers a delightful culinary experience. Known for its perfectly drained and smooth soba noodles, Tsukasa-an serves both classic seiro soba and a special ten-wari (100% buckwheat) soba. Enjoy your noodles with a side of tempura, featuring fresh local vegetables like eggplant, okra, pumpkin, and maitake mushrooms, alongside shrimp and kisu fish. The restaurant is popular with locals and offers a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy a traditional Japanese meal. Best visited during lunchtime to savor the flavors and serene surroundings.
