Tachi Soba

Established in 1965, this renowned standing soba shop near the Gochome Bridge in Kawabata keeps its noren (shop curtain) up late into the night. The signature dish, 'Obake Soba,' features firm, aromatic soba noodles paired with a cold soy sauce broth and refreshing toppings, making it a favorite even after a night of drinking. The menu also includes ramen and rice bowls that highlight the soba broth, catering to a wide range of needs from late-night snacks to lunch. The warm hospitality and lively atmosphere of the shop are testaments to why it has been beloved by locals for many years.
