Soba Caldi in Brodo con Tempura di Vegetables e Gamberi
I got a set of hot soba in broth with vegetable and shrimp tempura on the side. The tempura is well-made. I love soba so much. This dipping continues — now with soba instead of ramen. If you want to eat soba and tempura done right in Kyoto, this is the place. The interior is very nice, in full Japanese style.
Soba Freddi
Franci got the same set but with cold soba. Also very good.
