While I was traveling in the western part of Shizuoka Prefecture (also known asT\u014dt\u014dmi-no-kuni<\/em> \u9060\u6c5f\u56fd or Ensh\u016b<\/em> \u9060\u5dde), I went to visit the Okuni Jinja (\u5c0f\u56fd\u795e\u793e), one of the four main shinto shrines in Shizuoka Prefecture, known for its large path lined with lanterns and its red moon bridge.<\/p>\n

As it was lunch time, I first looked for a good restaurant.<\/p>\n

Lunch Break at Momoya<\/h2>\n

In Totomi Ichinomiya (\u9060\u6c5f\u4e00\u5bae), the nearest train station to Okuni Jinja Shrine, I discovered a very good soba<\/em> (literally \u201cbuckwheat\u201d) restaurant, ideal for a quick lunch break.<\/p>\n

In Japan, soba<\/em> noodles are eaten cold soaked in a sauce or hot in a broth.<\/p>\n

At Momoya (\u767e\u3005\u3084), the soba are homemade with local buckwheat flour! The large dish of soba noodles served with its soy sauce costs \u00a51000. You can also drink good sake and try grilled miso.<\/p>\n
