Intro: Introducing two of my favorite restaurants in the Sotobo area (Chiba Prefecture) that offer exceptional lunch experiences. 1. Japanese Style:“Kiyoe” in Yoro Keikoku. Famous for their homemade “Raw Yuba” (Tofu Skin) which has a rich, creamy texture. 2. Italian Style:“Osteria Ulula” in Mobara. Recently reopened and better than ever. Their antipasto using local vegetables and perfectly cooked pasta are a must-try. Verdict: Whether you prefer Japanese or Western cuisine, these spots are worth the ride.
