Culinary delights include soba and udon noodles, crispy tempura, and a small menu of sake. Next door, their petite emporium offers edible souvenirs. The third-generation proprietor continues to uphold the time-honored techniques of making soba pioneered during the Edo Period (1603-1867). The secret elixir of the noodle broth, a closely guarded family heirloom, has been passed down through the generations. Jindai-ji Temple, an ancient Buddhist sanctuary nestled in Tokyo's outskirts, basks in a lush canopy of greenery and enjoys many natural springs. The temple's historical narrative is a result of the land's limitations; the region's unsuitability for rice cultivation led the tenant farmers of the Edo period to sow buckwheat (soba) fields. In lieu of rice, these farmers offered the temple soba flour yields. The temple would then transform the buckwheat bounty into noodles, extending hospitality by serving soba noodles to all who visited—thus giving birth to the genesis of Jindai-ji Temple soba. Jindai-ji Temple soba's essence lies in the use of local pristine spring waters and the finest buckwheat flour.
