Izumo Soba Heiwa Soba Main Store

Although a little far from Izumo Taisha Grand Shrine, there is a famous shop that has been in business since 1950 where you can enjoy hand-made soba using unpolished buckwheat grown locally. Soba noodles made from ground Izumo buckwheat with its husks has a darker color than soba noodles made from other buckwheat, and also has a higher nutritional value and stronger aroma. (* The restaurant may change its source of buckwheat depending on the weather and season. ) In addition to soba noodles, the restaurant also serves rice bowls and sets. One of the most popular is katsu-don, which features an airy and juicy cutlet of deep-fried pork that is unbelievably soft. This is a must-try item if you visit Heiwa Soba.
