120 grams (about 1/4 pound) of ootoya's original homemade soba has the special texture and taste of soba that perfectly match with our ootoya's original soba noodle sauce. while ootoya specializes in serving teishoku, soba is also a popular choice of our customers, and doesn't take a back seat to teishoku. we recommend that you have some soba to wrap up your night after enjoying a bit of sake.
