Ueno Yabu Soba

Ueno Yabusoba is a soba restaurant in Ameyoko that has been open for over 130 years, serving mori soba, onsoba, and shrimp tempura soba. The basic mori soba has a buckwheat aroma, and the coarse, chewy noodles are dipped in a strong tsuyu. On weekend lunches and dinners, the wait can run 30 to 50 minutes, and the meal ends by pouring sobayu into the remaining tsuyu and drinking it. The dipping tsuyu is on the salty side.
