Would you like to step back in time? It's really easy if you go to Sobaya in Yanagibashi, Tsukuba. It is a handmade soba restaurant inside a 150 year old farmhouse. Actually, the farmhouse was originally somewhere else in Ibaraki and it was moved to Tsukuba.
You can find Sobaya really easily because it is next to Mizuho vegetable and flower shop on Route 19. It's just south of Banpakukinen Koen. Please check the map and more info here -->http://mizuhonomuraichiba.com/sobaya.htm
Sobaya is probably my favorite soba restaurant in this area, and the best choice on the menu is the hot kamo-jiru soba (wild duck soba). Unfortunately, it is also the most expensive!!! (And be forewarned, the amount of soba you get mightn't fill you up.) However, it is really delicious and the texture is great.
Here are some photos from a rainy day when I went to Sobaya recently. It is better to go on a weekday because weekends are so crowded and sometimes they finish up all the soba before closing time.
