Soba Ro

Nakameguro·$$$

Sudachi Soba (Cold)

¥1600.00

Chilled buckwheat noodles served in a clear dashi broth topped with a spectacular layer of paper-thin citrus slices.

Tip: This is non-negotiable! The presentation is beautiful. Don't leave the sudachi slices in too long if you want to drink the broth at the end—they can eventually become bitter. The noodles have a great resilient 'snap' to them.

Kawakami-an

Azabujuban·$$

Kurumi-Dare Seiro

¥1800.00

Cold soba with creamy white walnut dipping sauce.

Tip: This is the signature — don't skip it. The walnut sauce is house-made and creamy. Dip the noodles fully before eating. The final slurp of noodle and walnut creates a complete flavour.

Kanda Yabu Soba

Kanda·$

Kamo-Nanban

¥1650.00

Rare duck slices in a delicate broth with hand-cut soba noodles.

Tip: Order this — it's pricey but worth it. The duck slices are perfectly cooked rare and the broth is excellent. Sip the broth after eating the noodles.

Hiyakake Soba (Chilled with Hot Broth)

¥1200.00

Hot dipping broth poured over cold juwari soba noodles.

Tip: Don't be confused — the broth is served hot, the noodles are cold. They meet in the bowl. It's not a temperature mistake, it's the point.

Kanda Yabu Soba

Seiro Soba

¥990.00

Cold hand-cut buckwheat noodles on a bamboo mat, with dipping sauce.

Tip: This is the safest choice to understand Yabu's technique. The hand-cut noodles are delicate — don't over-sauce them. Taste one plain first.

Kawakami-an

Azabujuban·$$

Kamo-Seiro Soba

¥2100.00

Cold soba served with hot wild duck broth for dipping.

Tip: The broth is rich but delicate — taste it on its own first, then dip noodles. The richness paired with the firm noodles is perfectly balanced.

Soba Sasuga

Juwari Zaru Soba (Chilled)

¥1000.00

100% buckwheat noodles served chilled on a bamboo mat with dipping sauce.

Tip: This is the entry point. The juwari (100% buckwheat) tastes completely different from regular soba because there's no wheat. Expect it to feel almost delicate.

Kanda Yabu Soba

Kanda·$

Ten-Seiro

¥1580.00

Crispy tempura on cold noodles, one of Yabu's signature preparations.

Tip: The tempura is crispy and fresh. Dip each piece lightly in the sauce to avoid oversaturation. Balance bites of tempura with the noodles.

Homemade Soba
