Zao Pension Sansai Soba Aramiya Hitoshi Aramiya

I used to have a soba noodle shop in Oisawa, Nishikawamachi, Nishimurayama-gun, Yamagata Prefecture. I wanted to start a farmer's inn and moved to this location in the Zao Pension Village. Growing up in the mountains, I am confident in my knowledge of sansai mountain vegetables and mushrooms.
