Quietly located on the first floor of Chateau Nishi-Umeda within walking distance of Fukushima Station, Makino is centered around house-made 100% buckwheat soba. Its pale noodles, made without buckwheat husks, are thinly cut yet offer a firm chew and smooth throat feel, allowing guests to appreciate shifting flavors when paired with moshio seaweed salt, genuine wasabi, and a sharp, dry tsuyu broth. The menu also features a two-variety combination pairing this with broad, rustic inaka soba that brings out deep sweetness as you chew, alongside side dishes like crisp shrimp and lotus root tempura, as well as dashi-infused rolled omelet. Guests can relax over pre-soba drinks and bites from a carefully curated sake selection before enjoying a piping-hot serving of thick, velvety soba cooking water (sobayu) to finish. The tranquil Japanese dining room, accented with natural wood and white, offers 16 entirely non-smoking seats across 4 counter seats and 3 tables. Popular enough to draw solo diners and lines before opening at lunch, the restaurant also accommodates private hire inquiries.
