The signature dish at Sohonke Sarashina Horii Main Store is its translucent white sarashina soba, made using only the central part of the buckwheat groat. It has a smooth texture and a faint sweetness, and connoisseurs are said to enjoy tracing the change in flavor by trying it first plain, then with salt, and finally with dipping sauce. The shrimp-packed kakiage, fried into a perfectly round shape, has a distinctive texture where the shrimp fritters merge together, and the sweet-savory, fluffy tamagoyaki is a popular dish that regulars order again and again. Seasonal variety soba, such as lemon soba and yuzu soba, changes with the seasons, letting guests experience the fragrance of each time of year. Passing through the noren curtain reveals a calm interior with a retro charm and warmth. With 70 seats including tatami seating, and fully non-smoking, the shop welcomes everyone from solo diners enjoying a light dish with a drink to families. The budget is around ¥3,000 for lunch and around ¥5,000 for dinner.
