Banban

Banban is a soba restaurant in Arashiyama, Kyoto, serving local soba and shrimp tempura soba. The noodles are chewy and the broth is clean, and diners add vegetable tempura and croquettes. Indoor seating is limited, so on warm days a small table outside can be used. The shop is small and the tables and chairs are small, making it uncomfortable for groups to sit.
