Kuratsubo soba

This soba is made with ``Kuretsubo Kabu,'' which was praised as a condiment for soba, sashimi, and yakiniku in the gourmet manga ``Oishinbo Volume 32.'' The unique spiciness that is different from chili peppers and wasabi brings out the soba noodles.

Sightseeing Spots

folding screen rock

After seeing Tase Ohashi Bridge, which is one of the best views of Lake Tase, a multipurpose artificial lake in the middle of the Kitakami Mountains, there is Otase No. 3 Bridge about 200 meters upstream. Byobu Rock towers directly above this, halfway up Mt. Tomori. It is semi-circular with a circumference of approximately 100m and a height of 30m. It is a strange rock that looks like a folding screen opened.
