Hiyoshi Soba
As you slurp the smooth noodles, the fragrant dashi aroma wafts through your nose. This is a bowl enjoyed in Sakamoto, the temple town at the foot of Mount Hiei. Hiyoshi Soba is a soba shop located in front of the torii gate of Hiyoshi Taisha, with its name said to be derived from the shrine itself. It was founded in 1927 (Showa 2). Sakamoto has long been known as a hub for soba; it is said that the first soba shop was started in 1716 by a monk who prepared food at Enryaku-ji. It is also said that monks, after completing rigorous training on Mount Hiei, first turned to easily digestible soba to soothe their weakened stomachs. Soba from Sakamoto has warmly welcomed those visiting for worship and pilgrimage. It is a bowl you want to savor slowly in this historic temple town.
