Kita City, Tokyo, Japan｜Kotobuki

Delicious!

Go straight through the ticket gate on the busier side of Akabane Station, go through the automatic door of Beans and you will see it on your right. The outside looks nostalgic and the inside is bustling with customers. You can use Suica at the entrance door and earn JRE points, a great temptation. Confirming the number of people and guiding the seats cheerfully, the floor has a few counters and a lot of two people, and the customers seem to be busy going in and out at noon. There are about 4 employees, furisode and hakama. The menu is full of meals, set meals, drinks, and sweets! A large serving of soba noodles is free for lunch on weekdays! ! I ordered grated yam soba. Don't underestimate the fact that it's inside the station. If you eat it elsewhere, there are a lot of powdered wasabi and ready-made ones, but it feels good to have a properly grated wasabi, a proper tororo, and a chopped seaweed with scissors. The soba and soup are delicious, and it goes in easily. I couldn't find my favorite soba restaurant, so I only went to a certain Taro chain, but I feel like I finally found it. I will stop by again, thank you for your meal.

Directly connected to Akabane Station. Just a good soba restaurant. The dashimaki egg is not sweet. You can have a light drink with herring, tempura, and soba noodles. During the coronavirus pandemic, it was empty, but now it's filled with local-looking elderly people and young women. The people in the hall looked nice in their Japanese uniforms. I would appreciate it if draft beer could be poured a little more beautifully.
