Osaka, Japan｜Soba Takama

One of the best meals of my life! This place is an amazing hidden gem!!! The tempura is out of this world, and the soba feels so fresh!!! Worth the long wait outside. Run, don't walk, to Soba Takama

Soba Takama is a small, family-run restaurant. The interior is pleasing and simple, with a large communal dining table. Service was friendly and warm. The server carefully explained the menu to us, and assisted us with recommendations. We ordered the cold marinated tofu, cold soba noodles with grated radish and wasabi, and assorted tempura. The soba noodles were fresh and delicate, and the tempura was exceptional. We also had multiple cups of the complimentary tea, which was to die for. The cold marinated tofu was pungent and a bit of an acquired taste, though. This was one of the most charming and authentic dining experiences we had in Osaka. The ambience and service is unparalleled - we felt as though we were dining in the home of an old friend. Highly recommend!

One of the best Soba experience I had in Japan. I feel so satisfied that I finally visited here and I highly recommend all of you to try thia restaurant if you get any chance. Be sure to come early so that you don't need to wait too long.
