The biggest festival in the tourist town of Shintoku is the Shintoku New Soba Festival, held on the last Sunday of September. Many people visit the town in search of new soba. Please come to Shintoku to enjoy the best soba in Japan.

*On the day, the exhibitors will do their best to serve soba noodles, but there is a possibility that they may run out of soba noodles early. Thank you for your understanding.

■Enjoy the "4 Tate Soba" that each store is proud of!
The best part of the New Soba Festival is, without a doubt, the "tasting and comparing." At the "Soba Food Stall Village," where soba shops and soba-making groups from around the town set up stalls, each shop offers "new soba" with their own special dipping sauce and toppings. The "Four Fresh Soba" - "Freshly Picked," "Freshly Ground," "Freshly Made," and "Freshly Boiled" - is exceptional!

■Not just soba! Tastes of the New Soba Festival
The Shin Soba Festival is packed with food other than soba, with many stalls lined up. In addition to local products such as Shintoku Town's specialty "Charcoal Grilled Shintoku Chicken" and "Grilled Shiitake Mushrooms," you can also enjoy sweet treats such as soba crepes and rich soft serve ice cream for dessert after your meal.

■We also have a wide selection of souvenirs available
Before you leave, be sure to pick up some souvenirs. In addition to Shintoku-yaki pottery, you'll also find local specialties such as fruit from Higashine City, Yamagata Prefecture, a sister city of the city. This is an opportunity not to be missed.
