Shimaya

This creative specialty soba-noodle restaurant can be found in the middle of the historical preservation area. It's popular for its lunch buffet. This is their first new noren in almost ten years. The shopkeeper requested a navy blue that was close to black, so this noren was dyed repeatedly to make it darker. The center of each plum blossom family crest was made using a tie-dye technique to give it an original design.
