01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
A walk through the quiet residential streets of Oku-Asakusa leads to the noren curtains of Asakusa Sunaba Soba. Set slightly away from the main tourist crowds, this neighborhood noodle shop warmly welcomes local residents and workers dropping in during lunch breaks or at dusk.
Pairing Rice Bowls with Your Choice of Noodles
When hunger calls for a substantial meal, the generous set options immediately catch the eye. The lineup includes a katsudon set featuring pork cutlet simmered in sweet-savory dashi and bound with fluffy egg, alongside tamagodon egg bowls, oyako-don with chicken, flavorful beef gyudon, and pork-based kaikadon. Each set allows you to select either soba or udon, served hot or chilled, making it easy to tailor your order to the weather or personal preference.
From Piquant Grated Daikon to Warming Dashi Udon
The standalone noodle menu offers just as many straightforward, satisfying choices. The karami oroshi soba, accented by the brisk, sharp bite of grated daikon radish, pairs particularly well with the shop's smooth, slender noodles. For those seeking something warming, the kitchen prepares thickened kakitama udon with whisked egg, vegetable-laden kenchin udon, and aromatic options like chicken kashiwa nanban and curry nanban.
The dining room is equally comfortable for a solo traveler stopping by for a quiet lunch or for an evening visit over a beer, a plate of simmered motsu nikomi, and a rice bowl.
