Osakaya Sunaba Honten

Buckwheat is harvested in both summer and autumn, but it's the latter season that produces the most aromatic grain. This venerable soba joint in Toranomon has served eager slurpers since 1872 and continues to wow both with its noodles and the seasonal tempura used for toppings. Fresh autumn soba usually becomes available from late October, but you'll find a plentiful selection of other seasonal specials throughout the year.
