Soba Noodles for Lunch

We had lunch at Kanda Yabusoba in the Awajicho neighborhood. They’ve been dishing up homemade, buckwheat soba noodles on this site since 1880. The original building was destroyed in the great 1923 earthquake and the current one built shortly after (and survived WWII bombings.) We sat on tatami mats on the floor, which was a little easier for Riley than myself. It was very good!

I just found that the NPR website has a story on the restaurant.
