Soba Dokoro Tōya Marui Imai is a buckwheat noodle shop in the basement of the Marui Imai Sapporo main store in Chuo Ward, Sapporo. Diners choose between hand-made (teuchi) and strained (sarashina) noodles, and the soba carries the aroma of buckwheat. Because the shop sits inside a department store, a meal leads directly into shopping. The shop has served customers who have visited with their families over many years.
