Soba Dinner at Ueno Yabu Soba, Founded in 1892
Overview
This article introduces Ueno Yabu Soba, a soba restaurant with a long history in Ueno. It was founded in 1892, the 25th year of the Meiji era, and has been serving soba in Ueno for more than 130 years.
The restaurant is known for its nihachi soba, which slides down smoothly. Nihachi soba is made from 80% buckwheat flour and 20% wheat flour as a binder. It combines the flavor of buckwheat with a smooth texture that is easy to eat. True to the word "tsurutsuru" (silky-smooth), the pleasure of slurping these noodles is what makes the restaurant's soba special.
Pair your soba with the thick, meaty anago tempura. This dish features thick pieces of anago (conger eel) fried as tempura. Together with the light nihachi soba, it makes a satisfying meal. On evenings when soba alone feels like too little, adding anago tempura turns it into a proper dinner.
Many people think of soba as a quick lunch. But enjoying a relaxed dinner of soba and tempura at a historic restaurant is a way of dining that is unique to Ueno. Why not end your day with soba from a long-established shop dating back to the Meiji era?
