Mori Soba & Mini Tendon Set | もりそば・ミニ天丼セット

Affordable Japanese combo set of cold Zaru Soba buckwheat noodles and a mini Ebiten Don (shrimp tempura bowl) at Yudetaro in Shimbashi, Tokyo.

This tastes exactly like what you would expect from a large Japanese soba chain.

There is nothing particularly unusual or distinctive about the soba, but the flavor is consistent and familiar.

The biggest advantages are the price, the speed and the convenience. You can order, eat and be on your way without spending much time or money.

The mini tendon also makes the meal a little more filling when soba alone is not quite enough.


Yudetaro is one of the larger soba chains in Japan, so you can find its shops in many different areas.

It may not be a destination restaurant, but if you want an inexpensive, quick and familiar bowl of Japanese soba, it is a very convenient option.
