南阿蘇って蕎麦屋さん多くあるんだけどもここは料理・コスパ・雰囲気・ロケーションで総合的にナンバーワンかと思われます。
◎場所:南阿蘇県道28号の道の駅くぎのを過ぎてえ、ここ?!って分かりにくい狭い道を曲がります。そしてそこから軽自動車でギリギリ通れる巾の道をウネウネ行くんですが、この道で正しいのかかなり不安になりながら進むため初見やと心折れると思います。だがその先に「山さくら」の小さい看板があるので進むと民家のようなお店にたどり着きます。というわけででかいワゴンやSUVで行くのはやめときましょう🚗³₃一応駐車場は店前3台くらいと第2駐車場(6台くらい)もありますが、休日にはごった返すみたいでなるはやで行くことをオススメします。
◎店内:広い座敷にテーブルが10卓くらい。奥の窓からは阿蘇山がとどんと見える、最高のロケーション🗻
◎メニュー:ここの名物は瓦蕎麦のようなのですが、天ぷら&蕎麦に惹かれ天ざる御膳へ。
天ぷら、蕎麦の他煮物やら小鉢が3つも付いてました。
蕎麦は地元のそば粉でのどごしの良い腰強めで良き。ツユも濃いですが飲めるくらい美味い。あとそば湯がめっちゃさらりとしててグイグイ飲める。なお蕎麦は50食限定のようなので休日はあっという間に無くなるかと。
さらに天ぷらはエビ、野菜、きの子など盛りだくさんで衣は薄めなのですがサクサクしてて、日本酒飲みたくなるレペル。あと付け塩があるのですがこれがヤバい( ꒪Д꒪)。普通に舐めても美味いんで、これも日本酒飲みたくなる。
副菜の煮物もぬかりなく美味い。
デザートのプリンはサービスでいただいたのですが、柔らかすぎず固すぎずちょーどええとこですし、カラメルはほろ苦系で大人のプリン🍮すね
◎支払:見たところクレカ、電子マネーは不可っぽかったです

There are many soba restaurants in Minami Aso, but I think this is the number one overall in terms of food, cost performance, atmosphere, and location.
◎Location: After passing the roadside station Kugino on Minami Aso Prefectural Route 28, here?! And from there, it's a narrow road that can be barely passed by a light car, but I think it's the first time I've ever seen it because I'm worried about whether this road is right. However, there is a small signboard of "Yamasakura" ahead of it, so if you proceed, you will reach a shop that looks like a private house. So don't go with a big wagon or SUV🚗³₃There are about 3 parking lots in front of the store and a second parking lot (about 6), but it seems to be crowded on holidays and I'm going. Recommended.
◎ Inside: There are about 10 tables in a large tatami room. The best location where you can see Mt. Aso from the back window🗻
◎Menu: The specialty here is like kawara soba, but I was attracted to tempura and soba, so I went to the tempura set.
In addition to tempura and soba, there were three boiled dishes and small bowls.
Soba noodles are made with local buckwheat flour and have a strong waist. The soup is also thick, but it is delicious enough to drink. Also, the buckwheat water is so smooth that you can drink it. In addition, the soba noodles are limited to 50 servings, so it seems that they will disappear quickly on holidays.
In addition, the tempura is full of shrimp, vegetables, mushrooms, etc. The batter is thin, but it is crispy and makes you want to drink sake. There is salt added later, but this is dangerous (꒪Д꒪). It's delicious even if you lick it normally, and it makes you want to drink sake.
The simmered side dish is also delicious.
The dessert pudding was served as a service, but it's not too soft and not too hard, it's just right, and the caramel is bittersweet and adult pudding 🍮
◎ Payment: From the looks of it, credit cards and electronic money seemed impossible.
