Yamashina's soba noodles are made by hand using flour milled in-house from buckwheat harvested in the local Shingyo district.
A watermill at the entrance is the landmark, and the restaurant blends in with the naturally rich scenery of the Miasa Shingyo district.

The menu is simple and basic, consisting of mori soba, kake soba, yamasai soba, tsukimi soba, and nishin soba.

The restaurant's famous "soba no usuyaki" is a thin, piping hot soba noodle dish spread with a special spring onion miso paste.

Known as one of Nagano Prefecture's leading soba restaurants, it is frequently featured in the media and attracts many tourists.
