I was doing reviews and likes since morning, so I ended up having lunch around Tomakomai. I didn't plan it at all, but I stumbled upon a restaurant that I wanted to hit the milestone at. It's amazing how you can find such places unexpectedly. I found a note I had prepared for Golden Week and it said "Soba Hana". The navigation confirmed it was the place, so I decided to go there. Soba Hana had a small exterior, with a real estate office on the second floor. The interior was surprisingly spacious and stylish, with a counter and table seating. I ordered the "Limited Lunch Set with Roasted Nuts Soba for 1100 yen" and my usual "Mori Soba for 680 yen". It was quite affordable. The soba noodles were thick, firm, and flavorful, with well-balanced broth. The presentation in a sake decanter was a nice touch. The soba-yu was also delicious. The roasted nuts added a unique flavor to the dish. Overall, I was impressed by the creative soba dishes at Soba Hana. The parking was in front at a coin parking lot, which was free for a limited time. The staff even gave me 100 yen because the machine was malfunctioning. It was a bit embarrassing, but I appreciated the gesture.

Popular Menu Introduction: Soba Hana Kaze Mazed Meat Soba for 1,200 yen. This menu is what you might call the signature "One Kyu Soba Group" junk-style soba, but with a subtle touch of chili oil and a hint of elegance mixed in with the junkiness. Start by eating the soba on its own, then mix in the toppings as you go along to feel the harmony. Once you finish the soba, add the included rice to enjoy it until the end. It's filling and has a certain addictive quality that makes you crave it from time to time.

A small but popular soba restaurant in the rundown town of Tomakomai. The parking lot is about a 2-minute walk away on the same street. I've been here many times but this is my first review. The soba here is probably not hand-made, but it has a smooth texture and you can still taste the aroma of the soba. Jazz music plays in the background, there's an open kitchen, and the menu has some stylish soba options as well. It may not appeal to those who prefer the more traditional countryside-style soba, but I personally love both types! They also serve soba tea. I tried the "Sobahana Wind Mixed Meat Soba" for 1200 yen. It looked delicious as I had been watching someone next to me eat it. It comes with green onions, seaweed, tempura crumbs, seasoned beef, and an egg yolk. You mix it all together with the sauce on the side. It has a slightly spicy kick, probably from chili oil, and it's delicious. I wish there was a bit more meat for the price, but overall, it's still worth it. Lastly, you can mix rice into the leftover sauce, which was exceptionally tasty. Just like how you drink soba broth after eating soba, mixing rice into the remaining sauce enhances all the flavors and makes it incredibly delicious. I was worried if I could eat rice after having soba, but it turned out to be unnecessary worry. The overall satisfaction level of this restaurant is high, but one thing that bothered me was that all the female staff members, who were responsible for cooking, serving, and billing, were chatting a lot today. Whether it was just today or if it's a usual thing, the female staff members in the open kitchen were occasionally chatting about shifts and other things, even though they were wearing masks. It was a bit distracting, especially when dining alone at the counter in front of them. Usually, if there are two or more people, they seat you at the tables in the back, so it's not an issue then. Despite that, you can still enjoy delicious soba here, so I recommend it.

I visited the restaurant around lunchtime the other day. The interior was full up to the counter, so I had to wait a bit before entering. I ordered the Soba Hana set meal. The taste was consistently good and I was very satisfied. I still think this is the place to go for soba in Tomakomai. The price and taste are well balanced, and I am always satisfied. I felt like trying a different menu next time.

You can enjoy a calm atmosphere and have a quiet meal here. I ordered the large serving of soba noodles. The soba had a good texture and aroma, and was very delicious. There are various soba menu options, and I would like to visit this place again. They also have a wide selection of sake and craft beer, so it might be nice to go for drinks as well.

I entered the restaurant as soon as it opened at 11 o'clock. There was no line before opening, but 15 minutes later it was already full. It seems to be very popular among young people. Inside the restaurant, light jazz music was playing, and the counter seats with an open kitchen style made it feel like a cafe. On the table, there were pickles, shichimi (seven spice), and a pot of chopped green onions. This time, I ordered the daily recommendation "Kinomi Seiro and Smoked Mackerel Rice" for 1300 yen plus 300 yen for a large portion. The soba noodles were boiled in the kiln right in front of me and arrived in about 10 minutes. The soba had a distinct aroma and a good texture. When I ate the soba without any toppings, I could feel the fragrance of the soba escaping through my nose. The noodles were quite thick, not sharp-edged, but the texture and aroma made me feel satisfied. The dipping sauce with nuts was gently flavored and did not overpower the taste of the soba. The smoked mackerel rice had slices of smoked mackerel on top of the rice. The mackerel was fatty and delicious, making the rice very enjoyable. Finally, I finished with soba-yu (soba water), which was quite rich and tasty. Overall, if you want to eat delicious, satisfying soba, I recommend this restaurant. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

On the third day of my trip to Hokkaido, I bid farewell to Niseko after staying for 2 nights. I drove a rental car through the mountain pass via Lake Toya, stopping at the Sagiri-yu hot spring bath in Noboribetsu along the way. Then, I headed east on Route 235 and arrived at the popular soba restaurant in Tomakomai City, specializing in 80% buckwheat noodles, called Soba Hana (Sobana) Ojimachi Branch, during lunchtime. I tried the following dishes: - Soba Hana Tsukeseiro Soba (1500 yen): Smoked duck and mushroom hot soup in an iron pot (served with sushi rice bucket) - Kinomi Seiro Soba & Saba Meshi (1300 yen): Nuts (walnuts, almonds, cashews) grated into the dipping sauce for soba, served with grilled mackerel rice set - Jyuwari Soba Dorayaki (300 yen) for takeout The soba noodles at this restaurant are not purely handcrafted. They go through a process of machine mixing, hand-kneading, machine rolling, hand-folding, and machine cutting. The goal is to provide affordable soba noodles while still maintaining a handcrafted quality in certain steps. The 80% buckwheat noodles are slightly thicker than Edo-style soba, with a consistent noodle width. Despite some variations in the cutting width, the noodles have a handcrafted feel due to the presence of folds. However, the lack of sharp edges on the noodles indicates that they are partially machine-cut. The noodles have a strong aroma even before dipping in the broth. They are made from Kitawase buckwheat, ground in a stone mill, from Rankoshi Town between Niseko and Kurosawa. The freshness and aroma of the buckwheat indicate excellent storage conditions in a dedicated refrigerator. Although not completely handcrafted or 100% buckwheat, the 80% buckwheat noodles with dipping sauce were delicious and worth the price.

I stopped by this highly-rated restaurant in Tomakomai. It was a bit chilly, so I had warm soba noodles. The noodles were slightly thicker than usual, with a firm texture and a soft bite. It was delicious. I also bought some dorayaki as a souvenir.

I arrived just in time for the last order at lunch. The place had a jazz bar vibe but it was actually a soba restaurant. Orders were made through a user-friendly touch panel. The soba noodles, both hot and cold, had a firm texture and excellent flavor. It was incredibly delicious.

I had duck soba. You can tell they put a lot of effort into it! The aroma was really good. The duck was tender, and I enjoyed various flavors. The addition of burdock was a nice touch. I was also very happy that I could have unlimited green onions! The soba had a strong soy sauce flavor, and I will definitely come back!

It was delicious. I would like to try other menu items when I visit Tomakomai again. They have a parking lot and the restaurant is clean. I had the duck dipping soba and bought some ichimi spice as a souvenir, so I can enjoy the flavorful spice at home too!

It's more like a place you stop by when you're a little hungry rather than a top-notch soba restaurant. The soba is delicious and the atmosphere of the restaurant is nice. The dishes are tasty and we also tried some other dishes which were also delicious. I think they put a lot of care into their work. I would like to go back when I'm feeling a bit peckish.

I stopped by during my trip to Hokkaido and ordered the duck soba. The noodles were thick and had a strong texture, with a good aroma and delicious duck and plenty of green onions. The portion was satisfying. Lastly, I also had some thick soba broth. It seems to be a popular soba restaurant in Tomakomai.

After enjoying the cherry blossoms in Shizunai, I felt like eating soba and decided to stop by Tomakomai. It had been a while since I last visited, and the atmosphere inside the restaurant remained unchanged. The menu had some new items, all of which looked delicious! I had the following dishes: Smoked Duck Soba for 1250 yen, Soba Sashimi for 600 yen, Roasted Wood Nut Soba for 1000 yen, and Setouchi Weizen beer for 750 yen. The Soba Sashimi was served with grated daikon radish, wasabi, wood nuts, and green onions as condiments. A sophisticated accompaniment unique to soba restaurants, perfect with sake. The duck soba was, of course, delicious! Smoked duck meat in a rich broth with a smoky aroma. My companion that day had the wood nut soba and was amazed at how delicious it was. They were a little upset that I hadn't told them sooner. It was incredibly delicious. I must visit this place again soon, without waiting for years to pass. A restaurant in Tomakomai that makes me think, "I'm glad I came here." It was so delicious. Thank you for the meal!

I used it for lunch. Only three young women are in charge. Elegant interior, polite service. Quite good, isn't it? I had the delicious numbing beef tendon dipping soba. I didn't have much appetite after the breakfast buffet, but I enjoyed it quickly. The noodles were thick and firm, which is my preference. This was good. The dipping sauce was too hot at first, but gradually reached a good temperature, and there was plenty of beef tendon in it. The spicy sauce, green onions, and soba had an excellent compatibility. The taste changed smoothly after adding the egg, becoming milder. It's not often, but I'd like to come back again.

The deliciousness is consistent, the aroma of the soba, the firmness - everything is top-notch. The restaurant has become like my own dining room, making it even more convenient to visit. In the evening, there are various appetizers and a wide selection of sake, as well as 4-5 types of craft beer that are all easy to drink.

I couldn't visit last night because it was closed, so I stopped by for lunch. It was just before 2 pm, but the restaurant was already bustling with customers, which is a sign of its popularity. I sat at the counter like at a sushi restaurant and ordered the dipping soba, which is a specialty of the house, along with meat dipping soba and tororo rice (1,400 yen). The staff, all women, were busy boiling soba and preparing dishes right in front of us. They first served water and soba tea (it's nice to have both). They also provided chili oil for the meat in a separate dish. I started by eating the soba without any toppings... It was chewy and deliciously sweet. ⭐⭐⭐ I then topped it with plenty of meat and green onions and enjoyed it (laughs). The tororo rice was rich and tasty! The broth also whetted my appetite ♥️ I also enjoyed changing the flavor by adding chili oil halfway through. Finally, I finished with soba water, which made the broth even more delicious. ⭐⭐⭐

I visited this place to pick up a package for my new assignment, and I was grateful that they opened at 11 am so I could have an early lunch. Ordering was done through a touch panel system, and all the staff members were friendly with a bright atmosphere. I sat at the counter and ordered a safe choice of kamo seiro (duck and noodles). It was delicious. I will definitely come back.

The express train Hokuto, which I boarded from Hakodate Station, was scheduled to go all the way to Sapporo Station, but I got hungry as it was only morning. I thought about getting off somewhere along the way, and then I remembered a soba restaurant I had visited before in Tomakomai. So, I made an unexpected stop and ended up at this popular place in Tomakomai. It was quite crowded during lunchtime, but luckily the corner counter seat that I requested was available. Ordering was done through a touch panel, and I decided to try the Numbing Beef Tendon Dipping Soba for 1250 yen. The soba noodles, cut thickly and evenly, were said to be from Hokkaido's Horokanai region, a well-known soba-producing area in Hokkaido. The dipping sauce was filled with tender beef tendons, which were steamed to keep warm, making it difficult to cool down. The combination of multiple broths and the umami of the beef tendons in the Japanese-style broth, along with the stimulating Sichuan pepper and chili oil, was a delightful experience. There is no doubt that only those with an absolute sense of taste can fully appreciate the flavor of dipping the soba into this spicy broth. When eaten alone, the soba noodles revealed their inherent umami, which was then dramatically transformed by the broth. I also noticed the roasted pine nuts recommended by the restaurant, but the owner who was there last time was not present this time. The soba was delicious in its own unique way, but I also wanted to reunite with that memorable owner. I hadn't planned on drinking alcohol for lunch, but it seems that alcohol is not served during lunchtime. For someone like me who enjoys a drink, it's important to check beforehand if alcohol will be available during lunchtime. Thank you for the meal. Visit Rating: 3.58/194 reviews

I finally came to Soba Hana, which I had been curious about for a long time after seeing the reviews of people I follow. The interior of the restaurant is a bit dim but it has a refreshing and clean atmosphere. We arrived just before lunchtime and there were no other customers at first, but soon more and more customers started coming in. After looking at the menu carefully, I ordered the Chicken and Burdock Soba with Tororo Rice set, while my companion ordered the Soba Hana set meal. I usually have cold soba, but today I decided to try the warm soba. The Chicken and Burdock Soba had a great flavor of burdock, tender chicken, and the soba flavor stood out even in the warm broth. It was very very delicious. The sweet broth was refreshing and I almost drank it all up. Unfortunately, I didn't get to the tororo rice, so my companion had it instead (^^;). I am grateful to the reviewer for introducing me to this delicious soba. I look forward to coming back next time to try the cold soba. Thank you for the meal.

Whenever I eat soba in Tomakomai, I always come here. The lunch set menu is extensive and it's hard to choose. But I always go for the reliable Soba Hana set. I order the large portion. The soba noodles have a nice texture and are incredibly delicious, and the mackerel rice is also very tasty. It's light and you can eat as many bowls as you want.

Located about a 7-8 minute walk from Tomakomai Station, this soba restaurant has a long layout with a counter and tables at the back. You can see the soba being hand-made, which builds up anticipation. The menu offers a variety of soba options, and I decided to order the "Kin no Mi Soba" lunch set. First, they bring you a mortar and pestle with kin no mi (ground nuts), which you can grind to your liking. The finer you grind it, the more flavor it releases, and the coarser it is, the more texture it adds. While grinding the kin no mi, you wait for your soba to be served. The soba is served in two tiers. You dip the soba into the soba sauce in the kin no mi container before eating. The flavor of the soba is exceptional, and I couldn't help but exclaim out loud. The soba itself is delicious as well! As for the mackerel rice bowl, the rice itself is already tasty. The mackerel complements the flavor of the soba, enhancing the overall experience. They also serve soba-yu without you having to ask. This restaurant is worth coming to Tomakomai for. Highly recommended!
