Shiki, Saitama, Japan｜Kiyobe Soba Noodle Shop

Very small, very at-home place. The soba is all hand prepared each day and cooked to order by the sixth-generation chef. Despite the quality, it's also extremely reasonable. An extra large order of noodles, and a couple of tempura sides (always fried-to-order) will only put you back about 700 to 800 yen, which is ridiculous, considering. Highly, HIGHLY recommended.

As expected, it's a popular store. Cheap and delicious. With this volume and alcohol, it cost 1300 yen. Very satisfied.

It was peak time on a sunny Saturday afternoon, so there was a line of over 10 people and a 25 minute wait to enter. There are 12 seats inside. Mori soba 450 yen (medium size + 50 yen), kiss tempura 150 yen, vegetable tempura 150 yen...I ended up paying 800 yen. Not only is the soba delicious, but the fluffy tempura is also exquisite. The kiss tempura is especially impressive. Of course, the vegetable tempura also comes with 3 slices of pumpkin, eggplant, and green pepper for this price and quality. Excellent cost performance. It was delicious!
