The soba restaurant Mankichi is located in Oishida, known as the town of soba, and always offers hospitality with its concept of “five fresh”: fresh ingredients, freshly cut, freshly ground, freshly beaten, and freshly boiled.

The Yamagata specialty ita-soba and the addictive tempura with crispy batter are exquisite.

The gesoten (fried squid legs) is cut into small pieces, making it easier to eat.

There’s also the Shonai specialty barley cut, and there’s also a combination set where you can enjoy both.

The day-trip hot spring facility Atamari Land Fukahori is right in front of the shop, and after sweating in the hot springs, eating delicious soba noodles is sure to soothe your mind and body.
