Japan’s best Soba Noodles is here in Nagano

Nagano prefecture is known for some of the best soba noodles. The small town of Nojiri is not only home to some of the most scenic footage that I have ever captured but a life changing soba experience at a little restaurant called Inaho.

  1. Just glorious, Lane. Off exploring the little towns and byways of Japan in October/November. Autumn colour cascading down, crisp air, great food to be found at every turn. Mind you, on my recent trip I did find myself hankering for salads, fruits, and vegetables. A quick trip to the local CoOp supermarket usually fixed this, but vegies weren't a big part of restaurant fare.

    But looking ahead. Did you and Racheal get to Karuizawa? You know, hill-station resort for Tokyo's super rich with architect designed weekenders and every second car a Maserati. I even managed to find a place that did a better than average Melbourne Magic coffee.
