Two minutes from Tsuwano Station, under a thatch-style roof: our loaded shikotama udon, Tsuwano's uzume-meshi, and homemade dango and zenzai.
Minoya opened in Tsuwano in 1974. Look for the big thatch-style roof, the fan-shaped window and the red lanterns – a building that feels like an old mountain-pass teahouse.
Our most popular dish is shikotama udon, piled with wild mountain vegetables, beef, fried tofu, egg and wakame, made the way it has been since our grandmother's day. You can have it with soba instead.
We also serve Tsuwano's uzume-meshi, fuki rice sets and rice balls, plus homemade dango, kinako mochi and chestnut zenzai. Some tables look out on the JR line, where the SL Yamaguchi steam train passes on running days.
