"Bringing Gluten-Free Soba to the People"

The Japanese word “soba” refers both to the buckwheat plant as well as the noodles made from buckwheat flour. Soba is typically served in a hot aromatic broth topped with chicken, tempura prawns or a selection of vegetables or served cooled on an elegant bamboo tray with delicate dipping sauce.

Soba is one of the world’s most nutritious food and an abundant source of protein. Containing a well-balanced combination of amino acids, it has the highest protein make-up than any of the grains and is also rich in vitamin. Additionally, soba is low in fat and high in dietary fibre.

Soba’s long and slender shape has come to symbolise stability and longevity. It is traditional in Japan to eat soba (toshi-koshi soba) on New Year’s Eve to acknowledge the passing of the old year and to welcome in the new.

This is one of my favourite places to have dinner in Melbourne. Great ambience, food, and service - they are always so lovely. Lots of options to accomodate people with dietary requirements.

Although we have dined here a number of time this particular experience did not show the cafe at its best. Perhaps an off day but I found our meals ( presentation, quality, temperature) were not up to the usual standard. Very disappointing as we had taken friends there due to our previous great experiences.

The food is delicious and the soba noodle is excellent. The servings are good size. It gets very noisy though when the restaurant is full.
