Soba Restaurant Shizuya (Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture) is located in front of the bustling Demachi Masugata shopping street and has long been a favorite of local regulars. The spacious wooden interior offers soba and other set menus in a relaxing atmosphere. The restaurant has kept the simple taste of soba dashi (buckwheat noodle soup stock) made from several kinds of dried bonito and kelp, and does not add any extra seasoning. The rice bowls that use plenty of buckwheat broth are also popular.
