soba
We taste test a brand-new way to make the age-old favorite food of students, loafers, and busy people.
Or, if you’re in the mood for something less crunchy, there’s the option of tempura soba-flavor popcorn.
This Asakusa restaurant has two of Japan’s greatest foods, paired in a way nobody ever did before, and the result is amazing.
Their location is also pretty inconvenient, so is their leek and meat soba worth calling in sick for?
These plastic warriors are trawling for a brawling, cruising for a bruising, and sampling for a trampling.
Our Japanese-language reporter heads to Akihabara to see why this bowl of noodles scored its creators a Bib Gourmand, and leaves both stuffed and smiling.
If you know where to look, you’ll be able to try a jugful of noodles that nobody wanted the owner to create.
With things like sumo-wrestlers’ hot pot and beef sushi, the event was a feast for all of the senses!
The shop is a bit of a walk from the station, but the superb soba at this Akihabara eatery is worth the trip.
They say there’s a fine line between genius and madness. It’s a line that our Mr. Sato frequently walks.
The poster explaining the reason for the closure of the family-run business is breaking hearts around the internet.
Sometimes there are restaurants you want to keep a secret all to yourself, and this is definitely one of them.
Finding out you can’t eat soba stinks — but at least this is the coolest way to get bad news!
