※ After you eat the duck hot pot, the hot pot soup will remain. Cooking buckwheat rice in this soup results in porridge with an exceptional flavor. After you finish your duck hot pot, we will take it back to the kitchen so that we can cook buckwheat rice in it before we return it to your table. Kokyu’s buckwheat rice has already been boiled, so you can enjoy it right away. By all means, please enjoy this buckwheat rice porridge at Kokyu this winter. (Reservations are for parties of 2 or more guests.)
At Kokyu, we offer "Juwari Soba" (made with 100% buckwheat flour)
and "Kyuichi Soba" (made with 90% buckwheat flour)
Juwari soba is a fragrant soba made only with natural water and Hitachiaki
soba (a soba variety), milled that day and made by hand. Kyuichi Soba uses
the same materials as Juwari Soba, with the exception of 10% flour. Some
customers prefer Kyuwari Soba for its chewiness that goes down easy. Kokyu
serves warm soba using Ktuwari Soba, as the noodles do not overly swell
even in hot broth. Please enjoy the inherent flavor of soba, and the well-balanced
tastiness of the broth, to your heart's content at Kokyu.

When you pass through the mud wall with a stripe pattern and open Kokyu’s
entrance door,the main guestroom with thick Japanese cypress pillars and

worries about the people around you while experiencing traditional Japanese
culture. Kokyu is a perfect place for meals with your friends and family,
as well as entertainment of important people.
In addition, Kokyu is a well-known restaurant that serves 100% buckwheat
soba and kaiseki cuisine with good seasonal ingredients that have been
hand-made by skilled artisans.Our soba stands out, as it uses fresh
ingredients and is very fragrant and delicious.
This is because we own a flour mill next door.We stock buckwheat seeds
from contracted farmers and store them in a low-temperature warehouse.
Then, we take only the seeds that are necessary for that day, thrash them,
mill them,and make noodles out of them by hand in order to provide fragrant
soba every day.You can casually enjoy soba and kaiseki cuisine that is only
available at Kokyu in the dignified environment of a traditional Japanese
tea room.
