Hatsukoma main store

Chokurian

Founded in 1898. We strive to ``always value the same taste and locally sourced flavor.'' As the seasons change, our ``Seasonal Change Soba,'' which brings you news of Michinoku's seasonal mountains and seas, is also popular.

Wanko Soba (Morioka)

"Wanko" is a dialect that refers to a wooden bowl. In areas such as Morioka and Hanamaki, there was a custom of serving soba to entertain guests. The only way to serve freshly boiled food to a large number of customers at once is to serve it in small portions in bowls. This etiquette is said to be the origin of Wanko Soba. The reason why you are forced to refill your plate as soon as you finish eating is a courtesy of hospitality towards guests, which is called ``otebachi.'' ``Wanko Soba'' is a playful dish where the waitstaff throws soba noodles in one after another while shouting ``Hai, Dokkoi. The greeting "Gochisousama" is not understood there. The food is served until the bowl is covered.

On November 24, 2020, our newly renovated main store opened! Founded in the 40th year of Meiji. As a friendly soba restaurant for the common people, this restaurant has been running for five generations on Nakanohashi-dori (formerly Fukite-cho), which retains the atmosphere of a southern castle town. Since the first generation, we have been proud of our skills in soba cuisine as well as kappo cuisine, and that tradition is still being put to good use in banquet dishes, Morioka's specialty wanko soba, and our original ``Nanbu Soba Kaiseki'' and ``Soba Furiri.'' ●Higashiya Annex 1-8-4 Nakanohashi-dori, Morioka City (*Wanko Soba not available. As a general rule, advance reservations for dinner parties only.) ●Higashiya Ekimae Store 8-11-2F, Morioka Ekimae-dori, Morioka City
