Price undecided
We will release the "Shibuya New South Ticket Gate Blend," completed through repeated dialogue with employees of JR East Shibuya Station. It is a limited blend completed by tasting sample blends with station employees, exchanging opinions many times, and making repeated improvements. It is a cup that naturally blends into a place like Shibuya Station where many people come and go every day, a taste that can only be experienced here. Please give it a try.
Sobaichi
(Soba / Inside ticket gate)
Business Hours: Weekdays 7:00 - 22:30 / Sat 7:00 - 21:00 / Sun & Holidays 9:00 - 20:00
A soba specialty store recommending raw soba noodles made daily in their own factory and homemade kakiage (mixed tempura) fried in-store. Hoping to be used by a wide range of customers of all ages and genders, the space is finished to be clean and bright, based on seating. We aim to be a shop where you "want to drop by even every day."

Kakiage Soba
1 bowl 590 yen (Eat-in only)
The classic "Kakiage Soba". When speaking of station soba, this is the one. A hearty dish topped with freshly boiled raw soba, a broth with a strong dashi flavor, and a thick kakiage. For the kakiage, which condenses the umami of ingredients like the sweetness of onions and the color of carrots, we recommend first enjoying the crispy texture, and then dipping it into the dashi-flavored broth.
