Shinanoan
A venerable soba restaurant founded in 1963, representing the best of Wakayama City soba. Known for handmade noodles with smooth texture and rich umami dashi. TripAdvisor 4.7/5 (ranked #95 in Wakayama City); Google 4.2 stars/342 reviews. Multiple regulars who have been coming for 40 years. A craftsmanship family whose second son independently opened the renowned Nakamichi. Lines even on weekdays.
Locals consider Shinanoan synonymous with soba in Wakayama. Praised for large, crispy tempura shrimp on the zaru. Memorable dashi broth. The calm Showa-era atmosphere keeps customers coming back.
