Very nice traditional environment: 🍱FOOD: Traditional Japanese dishes, very nice soba plates. I am doing a keto diet so I got duck and tamagoyaki. My sister got the soba and tempura. The entree is a must, you get to taste lots of small flavourful things together, and that’s one of the joys of of traditional Japanese meals. 🏡ENVIRONMENT: Love the traditional Japanese house vibe. The funny thing is that we were looking for another cafe, and accidentally entered this one. It was a happy accident, as Bob Ross would say. Hope you get the reference👌 💸PRICES: On the pricey side, but it is to be expected given the nature or the place. It is a quite fancy traditional Japanese house, serving high quality dishes. We’re two Italian sisters going cafe/restaurant-hopping! Follow our Instagram account 👉 @italiansinjapan We share the best spots we find around Tokyo/Kanagawa 🙋♀️

Matsubara-an is a mid-range restaurant that specializes in tempura (deep-fried vegetables or sea food) and soba (buckwheat noodles).The latter can be ordered cold (on a plate) or hot (in a soup) We tried the vegetable tempura and the hot soba with clams. Both were delicious, as was the potato salad with smoked pickled radish, which we started with, and the rice cake in walnut sauce, which we had for dessert. There is an English menu with pictures. Service was quick when we visited, on a Thursday evening around 8PM. Last order is at 9PM. The restaurant is in a traditional Japanese house that has been reformed and given a modern look. The terrace is very nice to have dinner on in the summer.

If you’re in the neighbourhood this traditional little soba restaurant is a great place to stop by and have some lunch (or dinner) 😊 Pros: - Staff are super accommodating and will even make food specially if you would like something from the dinner menu during lunch 👩🏻🍳 - Attentive always refilling your cup of tea when it’s empty ☕️ - Food was delicious and the soba is so fine and melts right in your mouth 🍜 Cons: - Waiting time (it’s small after all) ⏱️ - Little expensive but it’s really made by hand so can’t complain, plus the experience of a traditional style restaurant 💸 Overall - Recommend highly for visitors of Kamakura who want to avoid the hectic centre and touristy areas 💡

Love the setup of this restaurant in a very greenary, botanical garden, calm and relax environment. A nice place to chill and have a good meal. Evening will be very romantic. The restaurant serves Japanese fusion fine dining. We sat outside to soak in the chill and zen vibe. Ordered the set lunch so that we were able to experience the variety. The person attended to us, I guessed mother and daughter. Both were very polite and friendly. Service was prompt and attentive. The lunch was very interesting and comprised of many flavours. Lot of surprises and palate challenges. We enjoyed so much. Dating couples, married couples, best friend should visit and chill at this restaurant.

An authentic dinner in a wonderful setting. This 90 years old house turned into a restaurant offers a beautiful experience thanks to its wooden interior in traditional Japanese style. You take off your shoes and sit to enjoy nice sashimi, lovely tempuras and tasty soba (I recommend the duck). The lime squash is refreshing while the soba-flavored highball pairs well with the mains. There’s a sake tasting set and some lovely desserts I didn’t try — splendid experience.

Very quiet and quaint restaurant, usual hangout for locals. The soba noodles with tempura are a must try. Though we had a bad experience with one of the staff, the food was still worth the trip down this hidden gem. The seared duck is also note worthy when trying out this place. They have outdoor and indoor seatings, while I recommend the outdoor seatings for a more traditional ambience, do so only when the temperature is suitable, or it will be really warm!
