Soba restaurants in Kansai

1. A Map

   Yagura

   • Kyoto, Japan
   • Restaurants › Soba

   Across from Minami-za kabuki theatre, this noodle specialist somehow reminds us of an American diner, with a row of wooden booths and mamas running the show. We recommend the nishin soba (¥1000). Yagura is located between a rāmen joint and a Japanese gift shop – look for the bowls of noodles in the window.

   Misoka-an Kawamichi-Ya

   • Kyoto, Japan
   • Restaurants › Soba

   For a taste of some of Kyoto’s best soba in traditional surroundings, head to this place, where noodles have been made by hand for 300 years. Try a simple bowl of nishin (fish-topped) soba, or the more elaborate nabe dishes (cooked in a special cast-iron pot). There is a small English sign.

   Tagoto Honten

   • Kyoto, Japan
   • Restaurants › Soba

   This casual restaurant in the Sanjō covered arcade serves a variety of soba and udon dishes. It can get crowded at lunchtime and the service can be rather brusque, but the noodles are very good and the English/picture menu helps with ordering. The tempura teishoku makes a great lunch.
