Soba / Udon Spots in City Center Area

  • So-honke Kawamichi-ya
    Gourmet / Alcohol
    Kyoto Kyoto-shi Nakagyo-ku Aneyakoji Dori Gokomachi Nishi Iru Anedaitocho 550
    This specialty shop makes and sells Soba Horu, a baked sweet going back to the early Meiji period made using buckwheat flour. Kawamichi-ya is said to go back to when Kyoto was known as Heian-kyo, and has sold sweets and soba flour since the Genroku era (1688-1704). It applied soba noodle making techniques to the making of Portuguese sweets to create Soba Horu. Since they do not use any oil, they have a light flavor and are often used in tea ceremonies and as Kyoto style sweets for guests. They come baked in umebachi crest shape or circles, and make perfect gifts.
  • Misoka-an Kawamichiya

    Kyoto Kyoto-shi Nakagyo-ku Fuyacho-dori Sanjo Agaru Shimohakusancho 297
    This venerable kisoba (100% buckwheat soba noodles) restaurant located in a Sukiya-zukuri building on Fuyacho Street has been in business since the Edo period. Their specialty is their Hokoro hot pot, which is made with a dashi stock that has been passed down for generations. Guests can savor quintessentially Kyoto ingredients such as Japanese yam from Tanba, springy udon noodles, Kujo scallions, and hikiage yuba (tofu skins). We recommend changing up the flavor of the hot pot after it boils down by squeezing the juice of a sudachi citrus into it. Their classic zaru soba (soba noodles served on a bamboo sieve), yamakake soba (soba noodles topped with grated yam), and mizore sets, which include mizore soba (soba noodle topped with grated daikon), a seasonal rice dish and pickles, are also popular.

    The venerable Fumiya Restaurant, founded in 1946, is located in Kyoto's Nakagyo Ward, three minutes' walk from Karasuma Station on the Hankyu Kyoto Line. It specializes in udon noodles, and in addition to its udon stew, Fumiya Udon, for which every ingredient, including the broth, is painstakingly prepared, it also serves sweets, such as Kameyama, a combination of toasted mochi and sweet bean paste.

    きしめんと言えば名古屋なんですが、京都にあるきしめんの老舗です。とはいっても京都風で薄味です。最初はあっさり美味しいと思うのですが最後には飽きてきます。不思議なのはメニューや前の訪問者の写真だと出汁が黒いのです。特別の頼み方があるんでしょうかね?

Kyoto Areas

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
