Do yourself a favour and visit this soba joint after you go to the Cup Noodle Museum which is a very short walk away.

Rather than eating cup noodles, you can eat the real thing! 🍜

You order outside on the machine and by using Google Translate, this will help immensely if you can’t read Japanese.

From the moment we entered, the waitress greeted us very warmly and gave us the booth seat. She was extremely helpful and welcoming, knowing full well we were tourists.

The noodle dishes we ordered were the white broth chicken soba soup noodle with the beef sushi, added a soft boiled egg, the raw egg on rice with some condiments and chicken pieces and the dry noodle with a raw egg and chopped onions with the beef sushi and it included a small bowl of rice.

The soup noodles came with a white broth and was frothy! It was so unusual looking but in the best way. The richness and depth of the soup was exemplary. The noodles were perfect, the additional boiled egg inside the soup as well as the fried burdock root made the meal. It was unlike any noodle soup I’ve ever had. 🤤

My husband’s dry noodle dish was outstanding! Once all the ingredients including the raw egg was mixed, it sort of reminded me of Zhajiang Mien. It gave it a thicker and richer sauce which coated the noodles perfectly.

We ate the meal with so much joy and thanksgiving as it would likely be one of our last meals in Japan before departing for our flight back to Australia in the late evening.

I wrote a message of thanks and encouragement and showed it to the chef and the waitress as I wanted them to know how much it meant to us that their food brought us so much joy and comfort.

This is the one and only place I saved in my “Osaka” list for next time as we definitely want to return!
