What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

An authentic hand-made soba restaurant in a quiet location south of Todaiji Temple, near Nara Park. Fresh soba noodles made to order. Stone-milled buckwheat flour served with dashi made from two types of kombu, dried shiitake, and three types of katsuobushi. Beautiful Shigaraki ware vessels. Google rating 4.4 with 653 reviews. Michelin Bib Gourmand 2023, 2024, 2025 consecutive selections.

Praised by locals and tourists for fresh made-to-order soba, delicate dashi broth, and beautiful dishes. Three consecutive Bib Gourmand selections confirm its quality. Sells out and closes early, so arrive early. May wait about an hour at lunchtime.
