Must have Soba in Nikko! Less than 2 hours drive from Tokyo to Santate Soba Nagahata-an! Drove to this popular soba speciality restaurant which only operates during lunch hours for 5 days a week to enjoy some authentic Japanese Soba meal. And yes, having multiple portions is a norm here. #CapCut #japan #therantingpanda #wheretoeat #japanfood #tokyo #tokyofood #nikko #soba

Visited Nikko today - and found this amazing Soba place with views of the river. 🍜It was my first time to try Yuba Soba (made from skin of soy milk) and as someone who loves tofu - i loved it! The meal was comforting - like youre being embraced after a tiring day. It was simple but familiar for some reason. If youre going to Nikko - the yuba soba is one of their traditional delicacies so make sure...

The staff is generally described as kind and helpful, though friendly interactions are noted to enhance the dining experience.

"Soba, Japan’s beloved buckwheat noodles, offers a delightful culinary experience. Served hot in a comforting bowl of soup or chilled with a side of tsuyu (dipping sauce), soba is versatile and refreshing. The best!"

Jayson De Leon

"The yuba was delicious! I did the set with raw, fried, steamed. With a side of mini soba vegetables. I see some bad reviews and Idk what people are complaining about. It’s so reasonably priced and the it’s a quick lunch stop - not fine dining. Oishikata. My service was friendly. For those who complain about service: Maybe if you are friendly; people will be friendly in return."

S Mehta

"Honestly speaking, is not that bad. In fact my father in law and kid order 2nd portion. if they could, maybe serve a bigger portion. My father in law had knee pain so they were kind to allow us to swap our tables with chair"
