Hidden gem of Chinese soba, Sakae-ya

Sakae-ya is a traditional Chinese soba shop located in the back alleys of Toyama City. Due to its limited opening hours, it has become a core presence loved by fans from all over the country.

Simple yet deep flavors

The menu is very simple, offering only Chinese soba and char siu noodles, with a choice of salt, miso, or soy sauce for the soup. The straight thin noodles paired with a lightly flavored seafood soup match perfectly. Regardless of whether you choose salt or soy sauce, you can enjoy the deep flavors that spread out.

Handmade flavors and cost performance

The handmade gyoza is crispy and fragrant, and the onigiri with tororo kelp is a delight. The price of Chinese soba is 680 yen, making it a very cost-effective dish to enjoy.

Leisurely dining in a narrow shop

The shop is somewhat spacious, but when it's full, you'll be dining in a space the size of a van. The leisurely experience of savoring this hidden gem is a great pleasure for fans.

Be aware of the opening hours

The opening hours are strict, with Saturdays, Sundays, and Wednesdays being closed. This is a popular shop, and even guests from outside the prefecture need to be aware of the tight opening hours. If you have plenty of time to visit, you will be even more satisfied.

I visited for the first time on May 28, 2024. We are currently open from around 11:30 to 14:00. The taste is featured on YouTube and the price is reasonable. I deducted one star because it was probably open at other times in the past, and it is far away from where I live and not in the center of daily life.

It was delicious! I had the soy sauce flavor, but it was simple and typical of Chinese noodles. It's not very strong, but it has a straight soy sauce flavor with a hint of salt. It goes well with curly noodles. I ordered gyoza, which were also homemade and delicious with a crispy finish.

I decided to eat here through a friend's recommendation. I had a set menu of salt ramen, gyoza, and a bite of rice. (I'm under the impression that if I eat salt ramen, I can tell if the restaurant's flavor is good or bad.) Both the soup stock and the noodles were very delicious, so I passed the test. I guess the gyoza is normal😃. Next time I would like to try the soy sauce ramen✌️. Please note that business hours are short from 11:00 to 14:00! ️.

I didn't have a chance to go because the business hours are tight and they are closed on Saturdays and Sundays, but I finally got around to visiting. I visited the restaurant a little after 11:30 a.m. when it opened, and the parking lot was almost full, giving the impression that it was empty, but the inside of the restaurant was surprisingly large, and about 20 people could enjoy their meals. It's spacious and you can safely sit on a small rise in the back! ️ Looking at the menu, there are only Chinese noodles and chashu noodles, and you can choose soup from salt, miso, or soy sauce. As it was my first time, I checked the basic taste of the restaurant, ordered a large bowl of Chinese noodles with soy sauce, and when I saw the ramen bowl that arrived shortly, I was very satisfied! ️ I thoroughly enjoyed the straight thin noodles and seafood-based soup, and was able to enjoy delicious ramen in Toyama City for the first time in a while. As mentioned above, the business hours are a bit difficult, but I would definitely like to eat Chinese soba again when I visit Toyama City.

Chinese soba salty🍜 It was a store with strict business hours that was quite a hurdle for me as I worked day shifts, so it seems like my expectations took on a life of their own. My honest impressions after actually eating it are: "Ah...yeah😑 I see..." I felt like this because my expectations were too high. I honestly think it was soy sauce 🤔 But Chinese food costs 680 yen, which is nice 😙
