🍜 Established 124 years ago! A traditional soba and udon noodle shop that has been with the station all along ~

Whenever I’m at Sakuragicho Station and don’t know what to eat, I always end up at Kawamuraya. At first, it was just because it seemed cool to eat outside, but last year, in 2023, Japanese news reported that they had no successors and would be closing down, which drove many people to have their last bowl.

However, one of the daughters of the seventh-generation heir was willing to take over, and this century-old shop was resurrected!

Founded in 1900, it has always been a standing noodle shop. Currently, there is a row of small low tables inside, but there are also a few tables outside where you can stand and eat.

The ordering method uses a common ticket vending machine found in Japanese noodle shops, which also has English translations of the menu items. The main differences are the toppings, and there are pictures to look at. It’s recommended to decide outside before going in to operate the machine. After getting your ticket and finding your change, give the ticket to the counter and specify whether you want soba or udon, then just wait for your noodles to cook.

Most items on the menu are under 500 yen, and the signature dish is chicken noodles, but on this day, I chose wild vegetable noodles, which I loved as it was similar to ferns 🤗 The broth is a traditional bonito soy sauce base, which has a simple and rustic flavor that doesn’t get tiresome, especially nice to enjoy hot soup outdoors in winter!

It’s important to note that there are two entrances and both have ticket machines. However, if you are in a popular queue at peak times, be sure to line up at the door near the JR ticket gate!

Wild Vegetable Udon (440 yen)
The ticket machine is currently unable to accept the new bills starting from 2024. If needed, you can exchange bills with the store.
After receiving the seven-spice powder, it should be sprinkled on the noodles at the counter. Be careful to place the noodles in the drawer under the counter to prevent the seven-spice powder from floating into the kitchen and contaminating the ingredients and bowls!

昼過ぎの来店なのでめちゃくちゃ混んでいた。そのせいか対応の雑さを感じた。 食べたのはもつ煮込みラーメン。味はチェーン店なので特に変わらず。 店長かわからないけど仕切ってる人は店員さんに怒鳴らないであげて欲しい。店の雰囲気が悪くなるから。

Soba shopOsaka
The supple, chewy, flavorful soba noodles are scrumptious & filling. A soba restaurant with a wide selection of specialty soba noodles, seasonal vegetable dishes & Japanese cuisines. The interior of the store has a peaceful atmosphere of serenity with impressive white walls — a simple & smart Japanese-modern space. Foodies can enjoy soba slowly with icy wheat-flavored fresh mineral water or carefully selected sake. A well-known restaurant in Umeda where you can taste rustic springy soba noodles. There are mainly four types of dipping sauces available: soya sauce, miso sauce, curry sauce & sesame sauce. You can choose thick or thin soba noodles. We also recommend the sweetly seasoned Dashi Rolled Tamago and the freshly fried, crispy Tempura. Please come & enjoy the exquisite plate soba noodles. 🥰 nom nom nom

蕎麥麵 嵐山よしむら
Soba shopKyoto
【Foodholic乃子@日本京都】 「蕎麥麵 嵐山よしむら」是一家蕎麥麵專賣店,位於京都嵐山,就在渡月橋的旁邊,和另一家豆腐餐廳共用同一個大門,因為有著可以直接看到渡月橋的景觀,所以排隊人潮非常多 我們是下午1點左右抵達,店員先詢問姓名及人數,並告知需要等到下午3點才有位子,現場有先許座位可以等候,也可以出去晃晃,時間快到時再回來就好 蕎麥麵有多種不同組合的套餐,蕎麥麵也有冷麵和熱湯麵,也有兩種麵同時滿足的套餐;也可以選擇含有天婦羅的套餐 有聽說天婦羅好吃,所以我選擇了天婦羅套餐 ¥2380 套餐裡含有一份天婦羅、一份蕎麥麵(可選熱的或冷的,我選擇熱湯麵)、一碗飯、小菜 天婦羅印象中有炸蝦2條、青椒、還有一樣忘記是什麼了,只記得每樣都很好吃,炸得酥脆卻幾乎不會油膩,來這邊一定必點天婦羅! 蕎麥麵的熱湯超級好喝,在冬天喝很舒服,我幾乎整碗快喝完,蕎麥麵在熱湯中放久會比較軟,建議趁熱吃,或是點冷麵 白飯上面放了一些很像吻仔魚的東西,後來發現好像叫做「山椒小魚」,京都一帶常會看到,但我不太喜歡它的味道,所以飯我就沒有吃完了~ 小菜就是醃菜,搭配天婦羅和麵一起吃,蠻清爽的 這邊的食物大概是3顆星左右,但是因為景觀真的很不錯,尤其是如果被安排到2樓靠窗的的位子,是直接看著渡月橋吃飯,非常愜意,加上景觀值得3.5顆星
