Kura + Soba Nakaya
Kura + Soba Nakaya is a restaurant operated by Kiuchi Brewery, the producer of alcoholic beverages, including the internationally renowned craft beer, Hitachino Nest Beer. Located on the grounds of the main brewery, the restaurant is housed in a charmingly renovated Taisho-period warehouse. Here, you can enjoy Sotoichi soba noodles, made from Hitachi Aki Soba—a local variety of buckwheat, also cultivated as a secondary crop alongside Kaneko Golden barley, the key ingredient in Hitachino Nest Beer.
In addition to the fragrant soba noodles, the menu features dishes showcasing locally grown vegetables and premium-brand pork, perfectly paired with sake from Kiuchi Brewery.
