Kitamura Dining

Handmade soba crafted with over 30 years of expertise and dedication.

Last update :

Nestled in the natural beauty of Kyoto, Kitamura Dining sits just in front of the charming “ Miyama Kayabuki no Sato,” a village that preserves the traditional thatched-roof scenery of old Japan.

The restaurant’s pride is its exceptional soba noodles, made from locally grown buckwheat from Miyama. The buckwheat is carefully stone-ground and hand-kneaded by a seasoned artisan with over 30 years of experience. Each batch is crafted with dedication every morning, resulting in noodles that are smooth, fragrant, and delicately sweet. Quantities are limited, so arriving early is recommended.

To truly savor the flavor of the soba, the simple mori soba is the way to go—served with a light dipping sauce that lets the soba’s natural taste shine. The menu also includes a variety of dishes made with local ingredients. Miyama is known for its game cuisine, and the simmered venison is a tender, flavorful standout. Another favorite is the oyakodon, made with locally raised chicken and eggs.

From the dining room, guests can enjoy a panoramic view of the thatched-roof village, making the meal all the more memorable.
