Located along Kiyamachi-dori in Kyoto, Suba is a popular eatery where you can enjoy inventive, evolved styles of soba standing up. Inside, a beautiful ceramic counter crafted by a ceramic artist sets the tone, creating a refined atmosphere reminiscent of raw contemporary art. The signature dish, enoki mushroom tempura soba, features an oversized tempura piece that covers the entire bowl, absorbing the dashi alongside its freshly fried aroma to deliver a rich texture. The golden Kansai dashi (Japanese soup stock), brewed from Rishiri kelp and bonito shavings, coats the house-made thin-cut soba noodles nicely, yielding a gentle flavor that invites you to sip every last drop. The menu also offers freely conceived original creations, such as a Western-style bowl pairing black maitake mushrooms with Parmigiano. Open not only for lunch but also late into the night, it is a convenient spot for solo dining, a quick meal during sightseeing, or finishing off an evening with a bowl of soba after drinks.
