Keiseian — Restaurant in Nakatsugawa

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of visiting Keiseian and indulging in their delectable cold soba. I must say, the experience was nothing short of fantastic. From the quality of the food to the warm hospitality, this place truly made my day, especially during my visit to the charming town of Magome-juku.

The cold soba I ordered was absolutely delightful. The noodles were perfectly cooked, firm yet tender, and had a satisfying texture. Each bite was accompanied by a refreshing burst of flavors that left me craving for more. What made the experience even better was the fact that they offered complimentary tea, and to my delight, they had sobacha, my personal favorite. The combination of the flavorful soba and the comforting sobacha tea made for an unforgettable meal.

Aside from the culinary delights, Keiseian played a significant role in enhancing my overall experience of visiting Magome-juku. This beautiful town is known for its historical charm, and the restaurant perfectly complemented the ambiance with its traditional yet welcoming atmosphere. The attentive staff and their warm service added an extra layer of enjoyment to my visit.

As a pleasant surprise, once I finished my soba, I was served soba-yu, a traditional Japanese drink made from the water used to boil the soba noodles. It was a unique experience for me, and I truly appreciated the opportunity to try something new and immerse myself in the local customs.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Keiseian for the fantastic food and the memorable experience they provided. If I have the chance to visit this beautiful town again in the future, I will undoubtedly make it a point to return to this remarkable establishment. I highly recommend Keiseian to anyone seeking a delightful culinary adventure and an authentic taste of...

The vegetable soba was rich with different kinds of mushrooms. The noodles are made from buckwheat. Some thought they were much better than any other noodles tasted in Japan, personally I found them unique but but not as tasteful. The restaurant was very comfortable with heavy wooden tables and the owners...
