Ruizen Soba Story2
According to the old tradition,
the Monzen TownShip is the place where anywhere homes make buckwheat,
the way of that house, how to make that land flow has been passed down as a way of eiheiji for many years.
But recently people who make noodles made from buckwheat flour have become less.
We are still handcrafted and continue trying to do my best
based on the way of making by the way of Eiheiji Temple
based on old talk of the old stories.
At the Riuzen, there was a close relationship with many people,
including 'Tenzo-Roushu' (Cheif) of the 'Daikuin' (grand kitchen) at Eiheiji Temple.
We left by close relationship with many people the collection of antique
buildings and the buckwheat.

These two pictures are particularly memorable.
These two 'Tora-san' pictures were drawn by a cartoonist 'Morita-Kenji'.
In the ninth film "Tora-san's Dear Old Home" released in 1972,
Eiheiji became the location of the place,
and it was created as a calendar of the 1992 Shochiku movie "Otoko wa Tsurai yo" It was.
After that, it was born and transferred to Mr. Morita-Kenji.
