About Soba Osame
Soba Osame, once renowned in Nishi-Azabu, has opened a new stage in Mejiro. Beyond the door lies a tranquil space, a century-old traditional Japanese house lovingly restored to let you forget the bustle of the city. Modern comforts blend seamlessly with the charm of a courtyard garden’s greenery.
The star of the restaurant is rare heirloom varieties of soba, rooted in regions across Japan. Each morning, the owner carefully grinds whole buckwheat by hand, preparing just enough for the day, and crafts three styles—"seiro," "coarsely ground," and "whole-ground (genbiki)"—each showcasing its own character. The rustic yet robust aroma and vibrant, life-filled flavor embody the true essence of soba.
Savor artisanal soba, crafted with skill, and enjoy a refined moment in a space steeped in history, accompanied by carefully selected sake.
