WHY IT'S A MESHI MAP PICK
Locals keep coming back. That is the real proof.
地元の人が、通い続ける。それが何よりの証明。
Founded in 1789, this is the originating home of Sarashina soba, with over 240 years of unbroken history as a spiritual center of Edo-style buckwheat noodles.
1789年創業、240年以上の歴史を誇る江戸蕎麦の総本山。
The signature pure-white Sarashina soba, made exclusively from the innermost core of the buckwheat grain, is a taste that cannot be replicated anywhere else.
そばの実の芯だけを使った真っ白な「更科そば」の発祥・総本家であり、その伝統の味は他のどの店でも再現できない唯一無二の存在だ。
Lunch sets are available from around 1,000 to 2,000 yen, and on New Year's Eve the queue stretches all day long -- a scene that has been featured on television many times.
ランチのそばは1,000〜2,000円台で楽しめる価格帯で、毎年大晦日には終日行列が絶えず、テレビでも幾度となく紹介された。
A Tabelog score of 3.66 across 1,917 reviews reflects its enduring and well-earned reputation.

What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Founded in 1789, this is one of the most revered Edo-style soba restaurants in Japan. The signature 'Sarashina Soba' is pure white, made only from the starchy core of buckwheat seeds, with a delicate sweetness. Famous for long New Year's Eve queues. Large 70-seat restaurant suitable for families. 5 min walk from Azabu Juban Station.

Regulars say 'One taste of the white soba and you know it's in a different league' and 'Only place for New Year's Eve soba.' Loved by both tourists and locals.
