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。
Established in Meiji 32 (1899), this hand-cut soba restaurant has stood in Ueno for over 125 years.
明治32年(1899年)創業、125年以上の歴史を刻む上野の手打ちそば老舗。
The timber building, constructed in 1927 (Showa 2), remains in use today — step inside and you feel the weight of more than a century at once.
昭和2年建築の木造建物が今も現役で使われており、店に踏み入った瞬間に時の重みが漂う。
The signature negi-seiro, a cold soba with green onion unchanged since the Meiji era, goes for around 1,000 yen; the late actor Sugawara Bunta was among its most celebrated fans, and both locals and visitors continue to make a pilgrimage here.
明治から変わらぬねぎせいろが1,000円前後という正直すぎる価格で、名優・菅原文太も愛したと伝わる一杯を、地元常連と観光客の双方が今日も目当てに訪れる。
