Very cute little place. We had to wait some time before getting a table. We don't quite know exactly what we ordered as we simply asked for the recommendation and menu was only in Japanese. In any case it was very good cold soba. Communication in English wasn't really possible but it's part of the experience.

``Sobakoji Sawarabi'' is located in Hanzomon Hayabusacho, where there are few people.
It has been run by a husband and wife since 2004.
This is a soba restaurant with a quiet and calm atmosphere ❤︎
Open only on weekdays from 12:00 noon.
I didn't have a chance to go, but
I finally went! !
◎Cold soba with natto 1,550 yen
Domestic large-grain natto and slightly thick "Nihachi soba" go perfectly together.
It's a satisfying meal, and we're particular about all the ingredients.
The soba noodles were a one-of-a-kind dish!
Although the price is a little high
I think this quality is definitely worth the price!
Enjoy in a relaxing space
The slightly more mature soba noodles were amazing ☺︎

It had a slightly different taste. For some reason, the spicy grated daikon radish is what impresses me the most.
The salted fish and grilled miso are also larger and will fill you up surprisingly quickly.
With beer and sake, grated daikon radish, salted fish, and fried egg, you'll be very satisfied with the soba noodles.
