Soba Ki

Nestled in the scenic city of Seki, Gifu Prefecture, Soba Ki is a haven for soba enthusiasts. This charming restaurant is renowned for its dedication to crafting exquisite 100% buckwheat soba noodles, which are handmade and ground in-house using a traditional stone mill. The menu features a delightful array of dishes, such as warm soba with duck meatballs and nameko mushrooms, and zaru soba accompanied by crispy anago tempura. Soba Ki's dipping sauce is a harmonious blend of soy and dashi, derived from bonito and kelp, enhancing the natural flavors of the noodles. Fresh wasabi sourced from Shizuoka and Shirotori adds an authentic touch to the dining experience. The tempura, known for its thin, crispy batter, complements the soba perfectly. The restaurant's interior exudes a traditional Japanese ambiance with bright wood tones, creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Located conveniently along Route R156, parking is relatively easy to find, making it accessible for both locals and visitors. The owner of Soba Ki honed their skills at a famous soba restaurant in Tokyo, bringing a wealth of experience and passion to the kitchen. The attentive staff ensure a pleasant dining experience, although the restaurant's popularity often results in a line of eager customers. Soba Ki also offers limited-time seasonal dishes and the unique soba-yu mochi, available for take-out as a souvenir. Whether you're a soba aficionado or a curious newcomer, Soba Ki promises a memorable culinary journey in the heart of Gifu.
