Tenjinbashi-suji Shopping Street is particularly crowded on Sundays, but surprisingly it wasn't too busy and we were able to get in quickly. Maybe it was because we arrived after the gal mikoshi parade! I recommend trying the simple zaru soba with sesame sprinkled on top. The sesame flavor pairs well with the light soba noodles. The broth was not too strong, with a refreshing bonito flavor. Overall, it was delicious.

For lunch on the third day, I went to this restaurant in the Tenjinbashi-suji shopping street. I ordered the zaru soba. The soba served was a slightly white, thin-cut type of soba, similar to sarashina style. The noodles were smooth and easy to slurp, with a good texture. It was recommended to grate the sesame seeds on the table and sprinkle them over the soba, which I tried and found that the strong sesame flavor surprisingly matched well. The dipping sauce had a bonito flavor and was sweet, typical of Kansai style. Thank you for the meal.

When I first found this place on Tabelog, I was a bit skeptical after reading the reviews, but after taking a bite, I was convinced. The broth was gentle and delicious. The tempura was crispy and dipping it in the broth was amazing! My friend ordered the cold sudachi soba and I tried a bite, it was also delicious. I would love to try more items from the menu when I'm in the area again!

Hello. The restaurant is quite crowded as it's noon, but there is one seat available at the counter. The menu looks like this. This is how you eat. They recommend sesame. The large zaru soba seems to have a satisfying portion. Let's eat with gusto. The soba sauce is quite strong. Do you like sesame? I think this is a good place for soba lovers. The portion is huge. I'm stuffed. Thank you for the meal. Well then.

I visited Hanjo Soba in Tenjinbashi Suji Shopping Street. This shop offers reasonably priced soba noodles. One unique aspect is their recommended way of eating, which is to sprinkle sesame seeds on the soba noodles. The combination of the aroma of the soba and sesame seeds is quite enjoyable. Even without the sesame seeds, the soba is delicious on its own. I would like to visit again. Thank you for the meal.

The atmosphere was nice, the staff was energetic, and the food was delicious! We visited during lunchtime and only had to wait for one group before we were seated right away. I ordered the torinamban soba with a side of egg (extra ¥100) and extra noodles (extra ¥200). The portion was generous, but the broth was flavorful and the soba noodles were elegant. I was very satisfied! The ten soba noodles on the other side of the table were ordered by my partner and they were surprised by the generous portion. It was enough even for a man. I would love to visit this wonderful restaurant again when I am in the area. Thank you for the meal!

Recently, I had to use the Ten-San discount ticket by the 31st, so I went to the Sakura no Miya Golf in the morning and when I turned around, it was just before 11 o'clock. There are not many places where you can use the Ten-San discount ticket, and among them, this place is eligible and opens from 11 o'clock. As soon as it turned 11 o'clock, I entered and sat at the counter, but there was already a customer ahead of me. Perhaps they were thinking the same thing as me. When you come to a soba restaurant, you should probably start with the cold one, right? Should I go for the zaru soba or the tempura zaru soba? I'm also curious about the dashi soba, but since it's my first time here, I think I'll go for the regular zaru soba. But then, the decision of whether to have tempura or not. I had something light at home just before 9 o'clock, so I don't really need tempura. But just ordering zaru soba alone doesn't seem enough. Oh, there's something good, like rice with toppings. Rice with toppings, kakiage rice, white rice - all for 100 yen. The white rice is priced the same as the others. So, I decided to go for the rice with toppings. There was a huge poster outside. Zaru soba for 700 yen, rice with toppings for 100 yen. It arrived in 3 minutes. Oh, the amount of soba is amazing. How many grams is this? The large zaru soba is 200 yen more, and it said it's twice the amount of this one, but it definitely won't be finished. It says to try the soba as is without adding sesame seeds. I wasn't planning on adding sesame seeds, but it says it's delicious with them. I picked up a piece of soba with my chopsticks and tried it as is. Oh, the scent of the soba is just right, passing through my nostrils. I picked up another piece of soba with my chopsticks, dipped it in the broth, and slurped it all at once. It's thin, smooth, and easy to slurp. It's chewy and moist. I added green onions and wasabi, dipped the soba, and slurped it all. It's easy to slurp. The broth is a bit strong, so dipping the soba completely makes it a bit spicy, so half is just right. It becomes about half, and I wanted to add sesame seeds, but I couldn't find them. There was something that looked like it could be sprinkled on the rice, like shiso. I asked where the sesame seeds were, and it turned out that was the sesame seeds. So, I tried sprinkling them. It says to sprinkle generously so that the sesame seeds don't get soaked in the broth. It enhances the scent of the soba along with the scent of the sesame seeds piercing through the nostrils. It's delicious. The rice with toppings is cooked with bonito broth, with a gentle flavor and a fluffy texture. It's delicious, and the portion is just right. I added about half of the soba broth and tried drinking it. It's a bit strong, so I added all of it. Just right. The broth is a bit strong indeed. It's quite popular here. Many customers are coming in. The food is much tastier than it looks from the outside. I used a 500 yen Ten-San discount ticket, so the total bill was 300 yen. Hmm, hmm.

【2022.02.03】I visited for lunch. Upon entering, I was greeted warmly. I ordered "kakesoba 650 yen" and "kayaku gohan 100 yen". The broth had a strong bonito flavor. The thin, white soba noodles were topped with colorful fu (wheat gluten) and a little green onion, keeping it simple. The simplicity allowed the broth to stand out. The kayaku gohan was lightly seasoned with finely chopped burdock root, carrot, and thin fried tofu. The portion size was generous, with a large bowl for the rice. The soba portion was also quite substantial. The lingering taste of the broth was pleasant. 【2022.02.17】I ordered "tamago toji soba 750 yen" and "jako gohan 100 yen". The tamago toji soba is kakesoba with added egg and seaweed. The jako gohan was topped with shredded dried fish and sansho pepper. 【2022.05.26】I ordered "zarusoba 700 yen" which came with sobayu (soba dipping broth) already included. The regular portion was more than enough. It had been a while since my last visit, but the service remains consistently pleasant each time.

I was looking for a place to have lunch and stumbled upon a hand-made soba restaurant that is reasonably priced. My husband had the mushroom bukkake soba, and I had the grated yam bukkake soba. The smooth white soba noodles had a good texture and tasted delicious with the broth. Sprinkling the recommended ground sesame on top was also great. This is a rare place where you can casually enjoy authentic soba noodles. The portion was generous, the service was pleasant, and we were both very satisfied. We would love to come back to this area again to enjoy this soba.

The appearance and sign of the restaurant seemed like a chain store, so I didn't pay much attention to it. However, the locals recommended this place saying that the soba here is delicious, so I decided to try it out. I visited the restaurant right when it opened and ordered the zaru soba for 700 yen, which was a great deal. The portion size was generous and for 900 yen, you can even get a double serving. The owner came out to explain about the soba and how to eat it, which was unexpected but nice. The soba was topped with plenty of ground black sesame seeds and it was delicious. It might be my favorite soba that I've had recently in this price range. The fact that you can enjoy such quality soba at this price is amazing! The staff's customer service was also excellent, so I will definitely be visiting this restaurant again. Next time, I want to try the sudachi soba.

Zaru Soba with Sudachi (Japanese citrus) for 850 yen. The default serving size is large, which is great. The soba noodles have a nice firm texture and a refreshing mouthfeel, very delicious. I was a bit disappointed that there were only three slices of sudachi in the dipping sauce, but the sauce itself had a good amount of sudachi juice mixed in, creating a tasty combination with the soba noodles. This dish will definitely come in handy during the upcoming season.

First visit, seated at the counter, ordered the warm Tori Namba Soba for 900 yen. It says everything is handmade so my expectations are high. I took a sip of the broth and hmm, this tastes more like ramen broth. They must have used too much seasoning, it's almost like it turned into ramen. The noodles don't have the flavor of buckwheat, and the soba broth isn't as complex as ramen broth, but I wish they had focused more on extracting the soba flavor. It was a fun experience, with a lingering aftertaste even an hour later. Not worth the cost, won't be returning.

Visit date and time: 2021/03/31 13:50 Second stop on the food tour at Tenjinbashi-suji Shopping Street, a soba restaurant called "Hansho Soba." Located on the west side of the shopping street at Tenjinbashi 3-chome. I ordered the "Sudachi Zaru Soba." While editing photos at home, I discovered they also have a "Kinoko no Wasabi Soba," which caught my interest as a fan of wasabi. Food & Taste: 3.5 The "Sudachi Zaru Soba" is cold soba with sudachi citrus floating in the dipping sauce. The soba noodles were fresh with a nice firmness, chewiness, and a pleasant aroma. It was served on a round bamboo strainer. The sudachi citrus floating in the sauce added a refreshing and tangy flavor, enhancing the overall experience. It felt surprisingly refreshing, almost like eating chilled somen noodles, which I think is perfect for the warm spring weather. They also serve soba-yu (hot soba water) on the side, which had a soothing taste. Overall, while it didn't bring any surprises, it was a stable and enjoyable dish. Service: 3.8 The owner or the energetic man managing the floor was very friendly. After allowing me to take photos, he encouraged me to try the soba first. He interacted with all the customers, offering recommendations on how to enjoy the soba. Despite being talkative, it didn't feel intrusive, and I felt comfortable as a first-time visitor. Atmosphere: 3.3 The interior had a traditional wooden design typical of a soba restaurant. The counter seats were spaced out generously, possibly due to the current circumstances. The background music was unexpected, with lounge-style trumpet tunes. There were around 10 customers when I visited, mostly regulars from the neighborhood. Cost Performance: 3.3 The "Sudachi Zaru Soba" was priced at 850 yen, while the regular zaru soba was 700 yen. The additional cost for the sudachi felt slightly high, but considering the base price, it was reasonable. Drink: Not available I experienced some occasional lower back pain, possibly due to lack of exercise, prompting me to go for a walk after having lunch. However, with the looming fourth wave of the pandemic in Osaka, I am considering reducing my dining out frequency.

Visited in February 2021. On a certain holiday, I went to Temma for lunch... Previously, when I thought of Temma, it was mostly about drinking in the morning or afternoon, or reviewing ramen for the finale, but on this day, I had my own car so no alcohol for me (x_x). Coming from the Tenroku area down the Tenjinbashi-suji shopping street, I noticed that quite a few shops had changed. The standing self-service udon shop that used to be Tridoll was now replaced by a similar self-service udon shop by Fuji Food, and the tea-steamed ramen shop that had eagerly opened was gone. In the place of a ramen shop, another ramen shop had opened, and there were many more changes. In the midst of all this, I arrived at this place! "Hanjo Soba" Well, it's basically a popular soba shop, but from its appearance, I had always thought it was a chain store or something. However, after reading reviews on Mairebi, it seems to be an independently owned shop. I was in the mood for soba, so after taking a photo of the exterior, I entered the store... Inside, there were table seats and a few counter seats, with the kitchen located in the back right. When I sat at the counter, I looked at the menu (@_@). There was a single sheet of paper with warm soba and cold soba written on it, with a small variety. Since it was a warm day, I ordered the cold soba verbally. It took about 5 minutes until it was served. - Cold Soba with Sudachi (large serving) The soba was served on a plate with slices of vinegar sudachi in a bowl of soup. The flask contained soba-yu. I ordered a large serving thinking it was only zaru soba, but it turned out to be quite a lot (laughs). I'll eat it before the soba gets soggy!! Slurp slurp (´～｀) Mogu mogu The soup was slightly salty, but the refreshing acidity of the vinegar sudachi was very refreshing (´▽｀). The soba was a pale, chewy, and elastic texture similar to Inaniwa udon. At first, I fully immersed the soba in the soup, but halfway through, I changed to semi-immersion, and I could faintly sense the aroma of the soba, which was quite delicious!! And it's super cold too (￣∇￣) Delicious! However... as I was eating and the amount didn't seem to decrease, a mature female employee said, "Try grating the sesame there and eat it..." Me, "Huh (@_@)?" Mature female employee, "Oh! It's not zaru, it's sudachi zaru. Sesame doesn't go well with sudachi, sorry about that." I see! If it were regular zaru soba, you could sprinkle this grated sesame on it for a delicious flavor change! While I was having this conversation, another mature male, who seemed to be the owner, said, "I'm sorry, sesame doesn't go well with sudachi." Me, "No, no, it's okay (^_^;) I'll try the regular zaru next time (￣∇￣) Hahaha" With such enjoyable conversations, I managed to finish!! In the past, I would have definitely ordered another plate of zaru soba (laughs). Despite its appearance as a chain store in the Tenjinbashi-suji shopping street, "Hanjo Soba" is a popular soba shop in Osaka with a sense of the city's heart. When the pandemic is over, I'd like to stop by as the finale of a drinking session in Temma. Thank you very much (≧▽≦)

It was a cold day, but I wanted something light for lunch, so I chose soba noodles. Unlike many soba restaurants that focus on adding tempura or sashimi to the menu, this place stood out for its emphasis on plain soba dishes. The menu was divided into cold soba and hot soba options, with choices like zaru (cold), yam, tempura, kake (hot), torinamba, tamago toji, and duck. Among them, the recommended dish was the Sudachi Zaru Soba for 850 yen. It came with four slices of Sudachi citrus in the broth. The soba noodles were pale in color, had a good texture, and a nice firmness. When eaten with the broth, the sourness of the Sudachi overpowered the bonito flakes and the flavor of the soba. Nevertheless, it was delicious when eaten quickly. Mixing soba water into the remaining broth reduced the Sudachi flavor, allowing the bonito flavor to come through. This dish is recommended for those who want to simply enjoy the taste of soba noodles.

On Sunday at 2:00 PM, I went to "Hansho Soba" in Temma. It was quite cold outside, so I ordered the warm "Tamago Toji Soba (750 yen)". It arrived in 5 minutes. With the first bite, it was delicious. The soba is freshly made on the day, so it's recommended to eat it quickly. The thin, chewy noodles were really tasty. The fluffy texture of the egg and the comforting taste made me feel great. The broth had a gentle flavor based on bonito. They shave the bonito flakes in the shop, showing their dedication and attention to detail. The owner was friendly and the atmosphere of the restaurant was nice. Thank you for the meal.

During the day, while walking in the Tenjinbashi-suji Shopping Street for errands, I suddenly felt like having some soba and decided to stop by. I remembered that there was a place called "Tsuchiyamabito" in the same shopping street, but I came across this one instead (laughs). [Interior] When I visited, it was lunchtime and the place was almost full. True to its name, it was bustling! The atmosphere inside is like a slightly more relaxed version of the standing soba style. It feels a bit hectic. The sound of slurping soba can be heard from all directions, which is a bit unsettling (laughs). I had the "Sudachi Zaru Soba (850 yen)". Um, the soba broth had three cute slices of sudachi. Hmm, it didn't really excite me, and I didn't feel the summer or coolness vibe. I probably looked at too many Instagram images of "Sudachi/Soba" with sudachi laid out all over the bowl (laughs). The soba itself is a 80% buckwheat style. The smooth texture is pleasant to eat. Personally, I prefer a stronger soba flavor. The soba broth has a slight hint of sudachi's acidity. Personally, I would have liked to enjoy the sharpness of sudachi more. The broth looked quite rich in color, but it wasn't as heavy as it appeared. Nevertheless, I finished it while feeling the half-heartedness of the sudachi from start to finish. Also, the "soba-yu" served at the beginning was very thin. I would have liked a bit more richness. This place seems to be a simple soba shop that only serves cold/hot soba. As a soba lover, I felt a bit unsatisfied, but there's no doubt that it's a lively soba shop in the Tenjinbashi-suji Shopping Street area. When I used to live in Esaka, I had about three favorite soba shops in Higashi-Mikuni, and I used to enjoy soba regularly. I will definitely try to find a similar place around the Tenjinbashi-suji Shopping Street area in the future. Thank you for the meal.—————Solo Female Rating ❤︎❤︎❤︎♡♡Want to Visit Again Rating ☆☆☆☆☆—————

Visited at 12:35. Sat at the counter and ordered a large zaru soba. The large size is double the regular size (+200 yen). The restaurant has 3 counter seats (previously 5) and 4 four-person tables. The soba menu includes 10 types of cold soba and 10 types of hot soba. On the counter, there are shichimi and black sesame as condiments. The soba was served within about 5 minutes with a reminder to eat it quickly as it is fresh. The portion was quite large due to being double the regular size. Condiments included green onions and wasabi. First, dipped the soba in the dipping sauce. The soba had a firm texture and was delicious. They specialize in soba only, without serving udon. The dipping sauce had a good flavor from bonito flakes, slightly sweet, and paired well with the soba. About halfway through, sprinkled black sesame on top, which surprisingly complemented the soba well. Finished the meal quickly with the flavor change, and drank all the dipping sauce with soba water. They also offer rice dishes like kakiage, dried small fish, and white rice, which are also tasty. In the cold season, I often order the egg-topped soba set. The prices are reasonable, making it a good choice for lunch. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

The thick broth with plenty of sudachi citrus juice is a perfect balance of acidity, fragrance, umami, and saltiness. The large serving costs 1000 yen and offers a satisfying meal. Midway through, sprinkle black sesame seeds on top of the soba for a new twist with the aroma and slight oiliness of sesame. I'm hooked on this sudachi soba.

At lunchtime, this popular restaurant has people waiting outside. The prices are reasonable. This time, I had the bukkake soba, and I really enjoyed the texture and flavor of the soba noodles. They are thin and slide smoothly into your mouth. It's a type of soba that most people would enjoy. My companion had the myoga zaru soba, which they also found to be very delicious.
