Traditional Sarashina Soba from a Historic Tokyo Brand

Nagasaka Sarashina Nunoya Taheiji is a historic soba brand whose roots go back more than 200 years to the Edo period.

Known for traditional Sarashina-style soba, the restaurant offers a more refined and classic soba experience than a casual standing soba chain.

The Daimaru Tokyo location makes it easy to enjoy this long-established style of Japanese soba right next to Tokyo Station.

Hot Soba with Tempura | 天ぷらそば

Hot Tempura Soba noodle soup with crispy shrimp tempura, seaweed, and green vegetables at Nagasaka Sarashina in Daimaru Tokyo Station.

The soba has a more traditional and refined feel than what you would get at a casual soba chain.

The noodles have a clean flavor and smooth texture, and the tempura adds a satisfying contrast.

The tendon set is also quite filling, so it works well when soba alone does not feel like enough.

Personally, I think the main appeal here is not something flashy or unusual, but the sense of eating classic Japanese soba from a long-established restaurant.

Zaru Soba & Tendon Set | ざるそば・天丼セット

Traditional Japanese Nishoku Soba (two types of cold buckwheat noodles) and small Tendon (tempura bowl) combo set with sweet and salty dipping sauces at Nagasaka Sarashina in Daimaru Tokyo Station.

This set lets you enjoy two different types of soba in one meal.

The hot soba is good, but personally, I preferred the cold zaru soba.

The cooler noodles made the texture and flavor stand out more clearly, and I found them more enjoyable overall.


Nagasaka Sarashina is a good choice if you want to experience a more traditional style of Japanese soba rather than a quick casual chain.

The Daimaru Tokyo location is especially convenient for travelers, since it is directly connected to Tokyo Station and easy to visit before or after sightseeing or shopping.
