Sobashubo Ichii — Restaurant in Kyoto

Since no one uploaded any English menu, I thought I should be the one to do it since this place is so good. It specializes in duck soba, so we tried that plus the duck sashimi. However, we were sitting right in front of where they made tempura, so I had to order some. 10/10 for the food, no wonder they are on the Michelin guide. Note that the English menu does not have the full listing, so if you can Google translate some of the other items, I suggest you do it prior to getting in, since you’ll likely have to wait a really long time anyways. This place has a really long wait time, so expect a queue. But don’t let it bother you cause the food was...

I had the Kamo Serio Sona, Buckwheat Noodles with Duck Meat w/ extra Noodles, and a side of assorted tempura.

It was my first time having soba, and the taste blew me away. I had never had anything like it as you dip the cold noodles into the duck broth.

Overall, I would definitely...

Una cena indimenticabile! Questo ristorante giapponese specializzato in dipping soba ci ha regalato un’esperienza unica che difficilmente dimenticheremo.

Il locale è estremamente accogliente, con un’atmosfera calda e curata in ogni dettaglio, che invita a rilassarsi e immergersi nella tradizione culinaria giapponese. Il personale è stato di una gentilezza fuori dal comune, sempre sorridente e attento, e i cuochi dimostrano una passione autentica per quello che fanno. Ogni piatto è una piccola opera d’arte.

La soba? Perfetta. La consistenza dei noodles, il sapore ricco del brodo per l'intingere, tutto era bilanciato in maniera divina. Semplicemente il miglior pasto che abbiamo avuto durante il nostro soggiorno tra Tokyo e Kyoto. È molto più che una semplice cena: è un viaggio nei sapori autentici del Giappone.
