After hiking, some of our group decided to meet up with other Yelpers who were having lunch at I-Naba. What a great place!
I asked a friend what he'd recommend and he pointed me to something he had on his first visit - battera which is 4 pieces of mackerel served on sushi rice and a bowl of udon or soba served hot or cold. It's also served with your choice of noodles in the broth or on the side. I got the cold udon noodles in broth. Everything was fantastic. I really liked the barley iced tea they served and I must have finished one of their pitchers myself.
I have to mention the service. The young women were very helpful and polite. They were also so good to put our cupcakes in their cooler so they didn't melt in the 100+ degree heat outside.
The music playing was surprisingly Western (some Beatles tunes) but very enjoyable. The company of 6 other Yelpers made this lunch a special after hike treat! I'll be back for the soba next time. Nothing like cold noodles during our warm dessert months.
