Asakusa Hirayama

hands down best soba I ever had. Soba was al dente, each bite slightly springy and it was surprising how we loved every different sauce we tried from their standard sauce, cashew nuts to their plum + radish cold broth. The tempura batter was light, perfectly complementing the fresh vegetables and fish. Note: place is small so we felt really conscious with kids

We had a wonderful experience at Hirayama. The service was great and very friendly. The interior of the place was right out of an interior design magazine. The soba was delicious and harmonious in flavor. Perfectly thinly crisped tempura.

Such a fantastic Soba restaurant. Staff and owner chef were so warm and friendly. What we had: ・SobaGaki ・Buri Daikon - Yamawasabi and Scallop Hitashi - Kuromame Yuba with dried Sea Urchin ・Dashimaki Tamago ・Tempura - Genboku Shiitake mushroom, kagarenkon Lotus, Snapper and Mukago ・Seiro Cold Soba Soba flower is freshly made from taking off the soba flower shells, milling them, soba cutting in the venue. Al dente with beautiful soba flavour. Tempura is crispy. Side dishes are beautiful with a subtle flavour. First time had dried Sea Urchin - the more you chew, the more you can taste the flavour. Very good experience. I booked the Chef’s Omakase lunch meal. If you don’t book, you may need to wait outside. When we finished our meal, there was a queue outside. Definitely recommend you to book if you are going to visit with someone.

Delicious food, honest prices, beautiful neighborhood, kind people. What else do you need to know? If you find yourself in Asakusa (few meters far from Tawaramachi metro station) you definitely need to stop by this restaurant and try their soba, you won't regret it!

it’s a really good spot if you can get a reservation. The soba is hand cut and very delicious. Taste like nutritious chicken soup without the chicken aftertaste. 10/10 try to make this a stop

We showed up around noon and the wait wasn’t too long. The restaurant itself has a beautiful design and service was great. We ordered the soba tea (made from buckwheat seeds), squid + spinach appetizer, cold dipping soba, hot soba, and the glass shrimp tempura. We loved everything so much! The soba had a perfect texture and consistency. Also when you finish your cold filling soba, they give you hot water to pour in your dipping sauce to drink like a broth!

Came to asakusa hirayama to have some nice soba. Heard that this place is famous for its soba. So we had the cold soba served in bamboo tray. Along with tempura and other side dishes Soba was very good , it’s slightly hard in texture but makes it even tastier A booking is definitely recommended , as the tables are extremely limited (2 small table, 1 bar table, one main table) Otherwise you’ll have to queue for very long

Delicious dishes to start with and to finish an excellent fragrant soba that was quite tenacious. The restaurant is cozy and welcoming. Good sake selection.
