Anraku

The local specialty 'Yokohama Bashi Soba' is a bowl topped with shimeji and nameko mushrooms, drenched in a thick, sweet and spicy sauce, making it a dish that warms both the heart and body during the cold season. Additionally, there is a variety of noodle dishes and rice bowls available, including a tempura rice bowl set, nabe-yaki udon, and kishimen, all offering a warm taste typical of the town's soba shops.

The exterior has a simple appearance that blends into a corner of the shopping street, but when you open the door, a bright and clean space unfolds. Inside the store, there are counter seats and table seats, and on the second floor, there are tatami mat seats, making it accommodating for families and elderly customers. The walls are adorned with photos and signatures of the late Master Katsura Utamaru, evoking a deep connection with the local community.

The business was established shortly after the war and has been operating as the core of the Yokohama Bashi Shopping Street for over 60 years. The local master, Katsura Utamaru, has been a regular for over 40 years, and flowers are offered in the shopping street on the anniversary of his passing, highlighting the connection. The 'Yokohama Bashi Soba,' which adds thickness to the soba broth that has been continued since the Showa era, has also become established as a part of the local culture.
