I think everyone knows Japanese SOBA, but there aren’t many SOBA made from 100% pure buckwheat flour. Generally, low-priced soba udon restaurants, which are often found in cities, their alleys, and train stations, offer fast meals. The soba at the standing soba restaurant, Most of the buckwheat noodles that are made by mixing noodles with wheat flour and wheat flour are offered at a low price.
1-22-5 Aobadai, Meguro-ku, Tokyo
5-10 minutes walk from Nakameguro Station on the Toyoko Line
Located in a quiet residential area in Nakameguro, “Bakuzannbo” is a popular local soba restaurant that makes soba and noodles as well as freshly made soba in its own kitchen.
You can enjoy 100% fresh and original buckwheat noodles by performing all the processes from flour to noodles in the store.
The store is about 5-10 minutes walk from the station. As for the exterior, the Japanese-style calm atmosphere is impressive.
The word “Sen” (meaning Japanese elegance) in the shop name echoes there, and it feels like a peaceful unexplored area.
The interior reflects the elegance of a Japanese restaurant more than 40 seats. Due to its popularity and popularity, there are many situations where the line becomes long.
The more difficult things are, the more difficult it is to get!
The restaurant’s signature menu is, of course, its specialty, handmade soba, warm kake soba, and tsuke soba (cold and hot), so you can enjoy a variety of rice and one dish. The writer chose a duck soba and a tempura bowl of edible wild plants.
First, drink soup stock, and the soft and delicate taste makes you feel calm, then eat bite soba. As soon as I put it in my mouth, the scent of buckwheat spread in my mouth and I immediately realized that it was the taste of Japanese buckwheat. The sip of the bite of noodles and the soothing taste are pleasantly satisfying, and unlike the moist feeling of udon, it is smooth.
It’s better to say thank you than to eat noodles … 10 cups shouldn’t be a big deal. It seems that when you eat soba with plenty of duck meat while listening to elegant music in the store, it goes back to the Edo period.
Men may not have enough buckwheat soba, so please enjoy with a bowl of rice, shrimp tempura, and wild vegetable tempura.
The tempura is not greasy and you can feel the happiness of being conquered by the exquisite harmony of tempura and sparkling white rice. We encourage you to experience it yourself!
If you come to Japan and get tired of rich dishes such as yakiniku and ramen, why not try the soba that is easy on your stomach, feel the original soba, and add a traditional Japanese flavor to your trip.
