Kyoto is far! Find great Soba place in Tokyo!

I went to a great Soba place a few days ago in Kagurazaka. I really enjoy the Kagurazaka's atmosphere. Kagurazaka is like Kyoto where has old buildings and street. You can feel how Japan used to look like a long time ago. you will find a view that you often see in the Japanese old movies and such.

If you visit Japan but do not have plenty of time to visit Osaka or Kyoto you might want to consider visit Kagurazaka instead of visiting those places. As you can see in the movie Kagurazaka has a lot of beautiful streets and many many good restaurants. I promise the journey will satisfy you.

As I mentioned I have visited Karibe Soba place in Kagurazaka. Its got a very nice entrance.

Don't you like that? You will feel like visiting Samurai place or something, don't you?

The place has great Soba! But you want to start with good side dishes. I selected small soft shell crab and Saki to start and after that, I had some fish. And at the end, I had Soba noodle to close with. It was sooo good!! I definitely recommend you to visit the place!

This is not my youtube but you will be able to feel what I was saying above!

Safe, healthy and delicious Japanese Food. Plus it is beautiful!

Japanese food products are attracting attention all over the world, and are being shipped to many countries. Tasty, nutritious and high quality. Treat your body and taste buds to the world's greatest food: made in Japan.
