Enjoy soba in Akihabara! We recommend you three delicious soba restaurants!

It is not a secret that Akihabara is a famous tourist spot. To provide visitors with a great experience, they offer countless restaurants for everybody’s taste. However, this time we will focus on soba restaurants.

We will introduce you delicious stores close to the station where you can get soba at a reasonable price. Here you can experience high-quality Japanese soup stock in a relaxing atmosphere.

Original taste at a reasonable price – Hiyamugi Sagatani

Here you can taste the traditional soba. These noodles are made from 100% freshly ground buckwheat flour. The millstone is placed in the store itself.

Most of soba restaurants try to appeal to the customers by providing fast and inexpensive service. That is why their noodles consist of twenty percent wheat flour and eighty percent buckwheat flour. These are so-called Hachiwari-soba (eighty percent soba). However, Hiyamugi Sagatani uses 100% buckwheat flour soba to enhance the unique soba flavor.

It takes a lot of skill to knead soba noddles and get that nice, easy to swallow texture, which is why these restaurants can be very costly. Nevertheless, Hiyamugi Sagatani is surprisingly inexpensive. A portion of piled soba noodles is 290jpy and tempura soba costs merely 400jpy. If you order a set, you can get Premium malts for only 150jpy.
