Handmade Soba and Donburi with Richly Flavored Dashi
A soba restaurant located in The Museum of Kyoto. The noodles are painstakingly handmade using fragrant domestic buckwheat flour, and are eaten dipped in a slightly sweet “soba tsuyu” broth. Also recommended are the Curry Don and Oyakodon, both made with a delicious dashi with konbu seaweed and bonito flavors. The restaurant features table seating (which can fit 6 at most) and floor seating. Customers with a little more time on their hand are recommended to take a load of and relax in the floor-seating area.

Tenzaru
/ ¥1,380
Relatively thin noodles that go down nicely, with a delicious fragrance. First try the soba without dipping to appreciate their fragrance, then dip in the "soba tsuyu" broth to enjoy both flavors together.

The atmosphere of this restaurant is that of an expensive Japanese restaurant, but the food here is quite reasonable, especially the lunch sets are good value. The dashi of the soba noodles and the fragrant tempura go really well together.
