Teuchi-Soba Kaga Uesugi

The taste of the soba noodles is loved by men and women of all ages, and we hope you will take your family to visit this restaurant.

Please enjoy our handmade soba noodles in a land overflowing with hot springs!



Kaga Onsen is a nationally known hot spring resort town, and it is known for its abundant supply of such clear water. The soba noodles are handmade using such water, and they have an excellent slurping effect. The slippery texture is very smooth, almost like that of somen noodles. You can enjoy the high aroma of buckwheat flour and its excellent texture.

Gyoza Naikan Katsu-chan



Lastly, we would like to introduce you to this restaurant. This is a well-known and familiar restaurant that is loved by local residents, especially for its Chinese cuisine. At first glance, the restaurant seems to sell gyoza (Chinese dumplings), but the most popular item on the menu is salted yakisoba noodles. Known as the soul food of Ishikawa residents, salted yakisoba has a special taste that can only be found here.

I would like to try the salt yakisoba once, which is basic but has its own unique taste!



The bouncy texture of the noodle distinguishes it from the bland ones you eat at home. The moisture is well condensed in the mouth, and the noodles also have an excellent slurping sensation. As the name suggests, the chewy noodles are covered with so much salt-based sauce that they have a very strong presence. The vegetables on top, such as bean sprouts, cabbage, and carrots, are also fresh and have a wonderful texture. It may seem like a simple yakisoba, but it is a must-try dish with its own unique and delicious flavor.
