In addition to their soba dishes, Dembei also offers a variety of other menu items, including kamameshi (rice cooked in an iron pot) and traditional Japanese sweets. The restaurant's interior is cozy and inviting, with traditional Japanese decor and seating options, including a riverside terrace during the summer months.

Whether you're a soba enthusiast or simply looking to experience authentic Japanese cuisine, Dembei is a must-visit restaurant in Tokyo. With its dedication to quality soba noodles and charming atmosphere, it offers a unique dining experience that is sure to satisfy your cravings.
