Walking through the shopping district of Kitashinagawa, you may come across a quietly nestled old-fashioned soba shop in a side street. Eikian is one such small soba shop, oozing with the ambiance of bygone times and traditional flavors. The hand-cut soba, meticulously prepared by the owner, stands out with its deliciousness, featuring carefully selected wheat and skilled techniques.
Stepping into the shop, the aged wooden structure creates a charming atmosphere. The lingering aroma of soba soup and the thoughtfulness of the owner all contribute to a memorable experience. The deliciousness of the soba is one thing, but the ambiance itself is the essence of Eikian.
Soba is best enjoyed with some snacks. While Eikian does not have a dedicated snack menu, impromptu items like skewered cutlets are recommended. Japanese sake or beer are perfect companions. Enjoying the deliciousness of the soba in a leisurely manner is an exceptional experience.
Located a 5-minute walk from Oimachi Station on the Toei Asakusa Line, tucked into a corner of the Shinagawa shopping district. The enjoyment of visiting long-established shops adds to the unique charm of this area.
Eikian nestled in the back alleys of Kitashinagawa is a blissful place where you can forget the hustle and bustle of the city and savor soba to your heart's content. The serene yet charming time spent here will surely become cherished memories.
