This eatery expertly blends Japanese culinary traditions with a tranquil atmosphere, making it an ideal stop for both the weary traveler and the curious foodie alike.
The café specializes in authentic Soba noodles, pasta made from buckwheat that is crafted fresh every morning by a skilled Japanese chef. The standout dish is the かしわ塩ラーメン (Chicken Salt Ramen) served with a rich chicken and clam soup—a delightful fusion that offers depth and complexity in every sip, making it a favorite for patrons looking for comfort food. Pair it with the 伊達産黄金豚の豚丼セット (Kogane Pork Bowl), a succulent pork dish that comes complete with a warm soup and a refreshing drink, all for just JP¥1,000.
What enhances the experience is the café's serene ambiance. With options for outdoor seating that overlook the picturesque Lake Toya, you can savor your meal while enjoying the gentle breezes and stunning scenery. The interior is cozy and stylish, reflecting the warmth of its staff who are known for their exceptional service. As one reviewer noted, the relaxed vibe combined with the village's tranquility makes it a perfect retreat away from the bustling tourist spots.
Drinks and desserts further elevate the experience. Enjoy a creamy タピオカミルクティー (Tapioca Milk Tea) or a refreshing smoothie featuring tempting flavors like banana, peach, and strawberry. For those with a sweet tooth, the selection of viennoiseries is not to be missed. One happy customer shared their delight in the home-baked goods, particularly the delicious pumpkin soup that is both hearty and comforting.
Patrons have applauded the café for its dedication to quality ingredients, saying that the gluten-free Soba and galettes are noteworthy—and the coffee and cakes keep guests coming back for more. From cycling groups to families enjoying a day out, Toya Soba has earned its place as a beloved gem in Lake Toya's culinary scene.
If you're in the area, don't miss out on this culinary sanctuary. Your taste buds will thank you, and your soul will bask in the beauty of Toyako.
