Elevated zen delicious soba place with tatami seating and normal wooden chairs and tables.

The interior is minimalist with mainly wood, concrete and glass textures (there's a nice view of the bonsai outdoors from the small windows within the shop). The tatami seats are located deeper inside the restaurant while the wooden chairs and tables and located nearer to the entrance.

You can choose either hot or cold soba and there's also soba desserts! We tried the hot curry soba and the cold prawn tempura soba and both were pretty good (but I'll definitely recommend the cold tempura soba!) The curry is the normal Japanese curry & not the Hokkaido soup curry but it's warming during cold weather (came with chicken but the portion of chicken was a little lacking imo). The cold soba came with a hearty huge bowl of soba with dipping sauce (with wasabi) and lots of fried fresh ingredients such as fried eggplant, fried green peppers, fried assorted vegetables and fried prawns! The prawns were really huge and good! The soba tasted like hand made soba and tasted firmer than the usual soba! Remember to add a little bit of wasabi into the dipping sauce cause it's really refreshing this way!

The price came up to 4000-5000 yen in total (not cheap but...

Found this soba place about 15 min walk from the park so it was out of the way for most tourists and not a big line up. Make sure you add your name to the waiting list in front as we didn't know and stood there for a few minutes until we saw someone do it. Soba is very traditional and flavourful.

A long-established Soba noodle restaurant since Y1918 in Kushiro city and moved to Maruyama, Sappro city in Y1964. Their soba style is inherited from very popular soba restaurant 「Azumaya Chikurouen」in Kushito city. They were open only for To-Go on the new year's eve (not to eat-in) 12/31/2021. I recommend to call in to reserve the soba for To-Go few days in advance because the availibility of soba noodles is limited. I went in without calling, but lucky enough to purchase 1 pack (for 2people) of soba (comes with soba sauce, scallions, & wasabi). Also, shrimp tempura was available. There were waiting lines, but didn't take a long. I waited only few min. The waiting lnes were seperate, one to order/ to get soba and the another line to make payment. Staff was very kind. I want to go back there again for another round of soba. A highly recommended. 札幌市円山にある人気蕎麦店です。釧路で大正7年(1918年)に創業、昭和39年 (1964年) 札幌市円山に開店の老舗です。釧路の「竹老園 東家総本店」の伝統の味を引き継ぐ東家の分家です。三笠宮崇仁親王殿下御用達の蕎麦でもありました。12/31/2021の大晦日はお持ち帰りのみの営業でした(店内飲食は無しです)が、大晦日に開店しているのは、とても有難いです。事前に電話予約可能です。お土産蕎麦(テイクアウト)は数に限りがあるので、数日前の事前予約をオススメします。当日、予約無しで11時の開店40分後に行きましたが、運良く1パック (2人前)...
