Hegi-soba noodles
Hegisoba is a type of soba that is served in a wooden dish called a “hegi.” Hegisoba is made with funori (seaweed), which gives it the smooth, firm texture that it is known for. The noodles are separated into individual mouthfuls, so it’s easy to eat too!
Notable Places with Hegisoba
Echigo-Yuzawa Station area
Nakanoya Yuzawahonten
Since its establishment, Nakanoya has been a popular soba restaurant, where they make the soba with the clean water of the Uono River, which itself comes from melted snow. It’s conveniently located 1 minute on foot from the station and is a perfect place to visit while you await your shinkansen (bullet train). Soba noodles go great with tempura veggies.
