- We’ll meet in front of the famous “Kin-Dokei” or the big golden clock. If you’re unsure where that is, just ask a station attendant or nearby shop staff and you’ll find it in no time. After we have met, start heading to the soba which will take about an hour to get there.

Kawarasoba in Okazaki

Kawara Soba – A Tasty Local Dish Served on a Roof Tile!

Kawara Soba is a unique and delicious dish from Yamaguchi Prefecture, especially popular in the area of Shimonoseki. What makes it special is that it’s served on a heated roof tile (called kawara in Japanese)!

Green tea soba noodles are grilled directly on the hot tile, giving them a crispy texture on the bottom while staying soft and flavorful on top. The noodles are topped with tasty ingredients like thinly sliced beef, shredded egg, seaweed, green onions, and lemon with grated daikon radish.

The combination of the crispy and soft noodles, the fresh toppings, and the dipping sauce (tsuyu) creates a truly unique experience — both visually and in taste.

It’s not just food — it’s a fun and memorable part of Japanese culture. A must-try if you’re looking for something different and delicious!

About Tour Guide Masayuki K.

Hello, my name is Masa.

I was born in Japan and grew up in the United States.

After returning to Japan, I've worked all across the country. I spent a year traveling around Japan in a car that I DIY-converted into a camper. I hope to share the experiences and the knowledges of how to enjoy our culture to the most with people from all over the world.

I would like to introduce Japan's beautiful tourist spots that you can enjoy in every season—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—along with local delicacies beloved by the people in each area, and how to enjoy the unique cultures rooted in each region, such as: sushi, wagyu beef, cherry blossoms, rich milk bread, fluffy pancakes, convenient store's meals and snacks, maid cafe, izakaya(restaurant specialized to drink an alcohol), sake factory and so on.

If you tell me what kind of experiences you would like to have, I will create a custom travel plan tailored to your preferences. I can guide you by car, so we can go anywhere in Japan without being restricted by public transportation schedules, allowing for more freedom in your travel. This is something only someone who has traveled the entire country, like me, can do! I’ll do my best to support you, so please enjoy your time in Japan to the fullest!
