Aoyama Kawakamian

The soup had a strong soy base. It wasn't particularly distinctive in flavor, but it was pleasant.

One of the best meals I have ever had in Japan, everything I ordered was simply delicious. Service was top notch, they have an English menu. The salt water boiled green beans were surprisingly tasty; the fried mushroom and eggplant was heavenly. Of course the soba is the best, accompanied by lightly fried vegetable and shrimp tempura, what more can you ask for! Was totally worth the wait of about 20 minutes.

Soba noodles were so delicious with the dipping sauce. The tempura was crispy and thinly battered and a superb pairing with the cold soba noodles.

Great place for soba and local fish from the market. Nice quality/price and impeccable service. Waiters are always paying attention to your needs. Beef could have been better but we were delighted with the salad and soba with duck. I totally recommend it!

This place is located in a quiet alleyway in Aoyama. Soba noodles is quite good and there are a lot of tasty appetizers and side dishes 😋. There are two outdoor tables. Due to State of emergency, they close at 8 and the last order is at 7:00 pm.

One of the best soba restaurants! I used to live in the US, and every time I went back to Tokyo for vacation, I ate here. I even went to this restaurant directly from the airport once, haha! Kurumi-dare soba is their signature dish and I highly recommend it. Also, all side dishes are super good too, like salad, sashimi, Kamo-aburi. Recently tried fried pork and really liked it. Staffs are super friendly and attentive. Nice taste on interior design. If you try Kawakamian once, you’ll know why I love this restaurant so much!

the duck soup soba is highly recommended!! good taste for the free hojicha as well! the rice ball is just okay..

Delicious soba hidden on a quiet street! The walnut dipping soba with crisp tempura seido were succulent. The cold soba dipped in the walnut sauce is so refreshing on a hot day. The walnut flavour wasn’t too overwhelming so you don’t get tired of it quickly. I definitely recommend you to take some tempura which added some light crisps into the meal. For dessert, i recommend their cream anmitsu which was delicious. It’s a mix between ice cream (vanilla or matcha) with red bean, marron paste, tangerine and Japanese agar jelly. The atmosphere was calm, they had an English menu and their staff could also communicate with us easily.

I loved the duck broth soba! It was a cold, winter day when we dined here for lunch and we were lucky enough to come before the line started to get long. So happy we came because the broth warmed up our bodies and the duck broth and duck meat were delicious.

4.5 / 5.0 - I'm not a big soba fan, but I've been to Kawakami-an in Karuizawa, which was nice, so my family and I decided to come here for lunch. Since we were a group of 8, we'd made a reservation in advance and it was a good thing we did, because there was a long line at peak lunchtime. Their specialty is soba, but their tempura is really good, too. I ordered the Kakiage Tempura Donburi (1,500 yen), which comes with a Mini Soba. The rest of my family ordered soba dishes and added a Mini Tempura Donburi. For dessert, I had the Warabimochi, which was good. My nieces had the Taiyaki, which were tiny (bite-size) considering the price, but they liked it. Not sure if it's because they were busy or lacked experience, but they were not the most attentive. We had to ask for our tea to be refilled multiple times. Besides that, we had a lovely meal and would come back again.

This is a soba place but with a wide variety of Japanese dishes and sake selection. The food was very good. Recommend to make a reservation since it is very popular.

Little tricky for the lunch menu, soba is offered without any duck meat. But soup is really nice, as well as the appetizer, tofu is my favorite!
