Murata

Down the street from Hakata Machiya Furusato-kan, this lovely eatery makes homemade organic soba (buckwheat noodles) from the Shinshū area of central Japan (around Nagano), prepared in a variety of ways including kake-soba (in hot broth), zaru-soba (cold with dipping sauce) and oroshi-soba (cold, topped with grated daikon).
