Introduction
A renowned soba restaurant in Osaka that consistently holds a 1-star Michelin rating. The hand-made soba, crafted from carefully selected buckwheat groats milled in-house with expert skills, is highly aromatic and goes down smoothly. The combination of clever appetizers (sobamae) and alcohol is also the best.
