Handmade Soba & Grill Mahoroba

This soba restaurant is located in a corner of the Uda Matsuyama Historic District. Housed in a renovated photography studio that was long cherished by local residents, the restaurant retains the atmosphere of the historic townscape. Remnants of the former studio can be found throughout the interior, making it a photogenic destination as well.

The restaurant is known for its thin soba noodles, which have been popular since it first opened. Made entirely from buckwheat flour without any binders, the slender noodles slide smoothly down the throat and offer a light, refreshing texture.
A popular side dish is the braised pork belly. Made with Japanese pork belly simmered slowly until tender, it pairs exceptionally well with the soba. Many regular customers visit specifically for this dish.

The restaurant also holds soba-making classes. Guests who would like an introduction to the delicate yet dynamic art of making soba can choose the short trial course, while those seeking more in-depth, hands-on instruction can take the practical course.
