A renowned soba restaurant run by a married couple
『Ryoka』
This time we’re introducing 『Ryoka』, located a 2-minute walk from Yotsuya-sanchome Station. Run by a husband-and-wife team, the shop offers carefully crafted nihachi soba, tempura, udon, and more in a calm, old-fashioned setting.
A must-try at 『Ryoka』 is the “Tenseiro” (1,800 yen). Made with buckwheat flour from Horokanai, Hokkaido, the soba is crafted by the owner each day according to the weather, humidity, and condition of the flour, bringing out the buckwheat aroma and showcasing true craftsmanship. As a nihachi soba (80% buckwheat), it goes down smoothly, and the rich fragrance of buckwheat fills your mouth. The tempura features freshly fried, crispy shrimp and seasonal vegetables.
For those who want to enjoy both soba and a rice bowl, we recommend the set of noodles with a mini donburi made using 『Ryoka』’s dashi. 『Ryoka』’s dashi is sweet-and-savory and pairs perfectly with rice. The hearty “Katsudon Set” (1,300 yen) is so delicious you’ll polish it off in no time.
Run by a married couple, this shop has a nostalgic atmosphere, and the cheerful, energetic personalities of the proprietress and the owner are part of its charm. Asked about the secret to keeping the shop going for so long, the owner said, “It’s thanks to my wife’s character,” which is delightful. With such kind, warm proprietors, families with children are of course very welcome! Come savor their carefully crafted soba along with the couple’s warmth.
