Lonely Planet review

Although the heart of Tokyo's gay district is just about the last place you'd expect to find a 200-year-old soba shop, Kinkantei is the real thing. Although purists swear that soba this traditional should just be eaten as is, more avant-garde diners can dress their dishes up with a whole slew of treats including the restaurant's signature deep-fried nattō (fermented beans) wrapped in seaweed.
