Lunch at Ouchijuku

Eating soba at Ouchijuku is a unique experience, especially their specialty, leek soba. Instead of chopsticks, you’re given a whole leek to use as both a utensil and a flavor enhancer—an unusual but fun twist! The noodles are perfectly cooked, and the broth is rich and comforting. It’s a delicious meal that perfectly matches the historic charm of this Edo-period village. Definitely worth trying!
