Yamatoya is located in the beautifully preserved Ouchi-juku, a former post town in Fukushima Prefecture known for its thatched-roof houses. This restaurant is famous for its "negi soba," a unique dish where you eat soba noodles with a single leek instead of chopsticks. Enjoy the traditional atmosphere and savor the local flavors. It's best to visit in the afternoon. Yamatoya also offers other local specialties like "Tochi mochi" (buckwheat rice cake).
