Edosoba Hosokawa
Powered by Google
A venerated Michelin Bib Gourmand soba shop in the old Edo district of Ryogoku, founded by Katsushika-born craftsman Takashi Hosokawa. The narrow, intimate interior exudes classic shitamachi charm — worn wooden counters, ceramics, and the scent of freshly milled buckwheat. Every morning the chef husks whole buckwheat seeds, stone-mills the flour, and hand-cuts juwari soba (100% buckwheat, no additives) into silky, fine strands. Conger eel tempura and simmered anago are the prized accompaniments. Cash only; advance reservations are not taken — queues form early.
