Osoba no Koga
A hidden gem in Nishi-Azabu, opened in 2007 by a soba master with 14 years of training at the venerable Akasaka Sunaba (est. 1874). Fresh stone-ground soba flour is milled in-house daily for hand-made noodles with delicate yet firm texture. Michelin Bib Gourmand 2023-2026. Creative dishes like pork-and-chive soba are also popular. Only 17 seats.
Diners rave: 'Incredible aroma, perfect texture—I always want to come back' and 'Love looking forward to the seasonal soba.' Very hard to reserve.
