Dashin Soan

Homemade noodles & traditional dishes are offered in this understated restaurant.

Dashin Soan is the Shimokitazawa soba spot where the noodles are made in-house and the menu does not get fancier than it needs to. Cold soba in summer, hot in winter, both done right. Quiet room. No reservations. Show up at lunch or off-peak dinner. The kind of meal that calibrates what handmade soba should taste like.

What to order: The cold seiro soba in warm weather, The hot kakesoba in cold weather, A tempura side if they have it
