Sobakiri Arabompu

Sobakiri Arabompu is a soba restaurant on a quiet alley in Nishitenma, Osaka, serving handmade soba that keeps the nutty flavor and aroma of buckwheat. Its main dish, soba sanmai, is a sequence of nihachi, jūwari, and hand-milled coarse soba, while the small side soba comes with green onion, shiso, and myoga. The boiling of the soba after ordering can be watched from the counter, and seating totals nine: seven counter seats plus a small table. A line forms before opening, and the wait can run about 25 minutes.
