Cross the Notojima Ohashi Bridge from Wakura Onsen and drive straight without turning, as if you are going to "Notojima Aquarium".
The name of the restaurant is Enju, and it opens at 11:00 a.m. We arrived at the restaurant 10 minutes before the opening time, but there was already a long line. It seems that the restaurant is run by a couple. We were informed in advance that we might have to wait for more than 30 minutes. When it was time to open, we were guided inside up to two couples in front of us. However, we were told that if we gave them our cell phone number, they would call us when it was time, so we gave them the number and went to "Michi-no-Eki no Tsushima". Here, we found a good place to wait for a while, as they have a good selection of Noto souvenirs... Just before 12:30, Mr. Goe called us! It was our turn!

The description on the menu says that "Rural" is "blackish buckwheat noodles made by grinding whole buckwheat seeds with the shells still attached on the stone. Indeed, it is easy to distinguish the different colors. When you eat it, you can enjoy the different characteristics of each buckwheat noodle, with a taste and texture so different that it is hard to believe that they are the same. The soba noodles have a nice texture and aroma, which further enhances the flavor. The best part of a trip to Noto is to enjoy a seafood-rich dinner at an onsen ryokan, but you may also want to add a visit to Ke-san's soba for lunch.
