Kanda Yabu Soba

Kanda Yabusoba is a traditional soba restaurant in Kanda, Tokyo, serving seiro soba and warm duck nanban. The buckwheat noodles have a coarse texture, and the warm soba comes with duck and grilled leek, along with shrimp tempura. A line forms from 11 a.m., and when an order is placed, the elderly owner calls it to the kitchen from the counter in a singsong voice. The noodle portion is small, about two chopstickfuls.
