[Closed business] Umenoya

Umenoya (梅乃家) is a hand-made noodle restraunt near Chitose Station. This is a buckwheat noodle restraunt, and this restraunt is also famous for serving tasty udon noodles, and hand-made buckwheat noodles and Udon noodles made by Mr. Toru Yoshida, a restraunt owner, have a good reputation, so Mr. Goro Michinoku, a famous reviewer of the tabelog like yelp, praises highly it. Their business time is only lunchtime (11:00-15:00). The restraunt is often crowded with a lot of visitors. Unfortunately, they have closed a business since March, 2019. This article before closing is as follows.

The appearance of the building looks a Japanese restraunt. The interior decoration has an atomosphere such as a typical buckwheat noodle restraunt. Newspaper articles about fishes caught by the owner on a wall are outstanding at the restraunt. I think that he is a good angler. Here is also a making noodles place, and he seems to show his hand-made noodle skills to custmers. Counter seats and table seats are provided at the building, and there are a lot of table seats, so I guess that family customers also enjoy meals.
