Sarashina Horii

(Source : )

Among all the soba (buckwheat noodles) types in Japan, Sarashina, Yabu and Sunaba are the three major genres. Founded in 1789, Sohonke Sarashina Horii Honten is the origin of the Sarashina kind. Sarashina soba uses only the core of the buckwheat's seed which results in white noodles. This delicate, fine noodle also gained royal patronage by the Imperial Household and the Edo Castle. Since the beginning, the soba has been ground, kneaded and the noodles handcrafted in the restaurant. It will be a special experience having soba at this original restaurant. The speedy and polite servers will make your stay even more pleasant.

History and Pride

Attention to details is what makes this soba special. A sweet dipping sauce is served for the thin, soft noodle "Sarashina" and stronger sauce for the chewy "Mori" soba. The artisans start crafting the noodles early in the morning, and carefully prepare them. It shows the pride of keeping ancient tradition alive.

Sarashina

The price of Sarashina soba is 890 yen. The shiny white noodles go very well with a sweet dipping sauce. It is exciting to have the soba that was created over hundreds years ago at this very restaurant. We recommend trying a la carte dishes like the gently sweet Tamagoyaki (omelet, 700 yen) along with sake. You will experience the taste of Japanese history and culture.

Mori Soba

Chewy yet smooth Mori soba reflects the artisan's technique of soba crafting. Kakiage Mori (1,740 yen) is a combination of soba and mixed tempura. This big ball of tempura is crispy on the outside and succulent with prawn on the inside.
