Wahei Soba-Dokoro is tucked away on a narrow street in Kusatsu Onsen Town. It looks like a typical Soba shop, except for one thing - you can watch a chef kneading, rolling and cutting dough to make soba noodles in a windowed cubicle next to the entrance. It's hard to walk past a shop like that! We got a table on the other side of the cubicle so we could continue watching while we ate our cold noodles with dipping sauce and the most delicious tempura I've eaten. If you go to Kusatsu Onsen, be sure to check out Wahei Soba-Dokoro.

That soba looks delicious. Love the colors of the tempura.
Cold soba and tempura is a really good combination.
