Located one street before Showa Street towards Higashi Ginza in Ginza 3-chome, "Sobadokoro Keian" is a soba chain with 4 stores in Tokyo. Their motto seems to be "providing soba that exceeds its price, above standing soba shops but below regular prices." Indeed, their Morisoba is priced at 650 yen including tax, with each additional serving costing 200 yen. They use a blend of the best quality soba flour from Hokkaido, focusing on a white, fine-textured soba with a good throat feel and firm texture. Their recommended dish is the "Tsuke Soba." Today, I tried the "Curry Seiro" from the Tsuke Soba menu, priced at 1050 yen including tax, plus an additional serving of Morisoba for 200 yen. The portion of one serving of Morisoba is quite generous, but two servings would be a huge amount. The curry has a strong dashi flavor, good thickness, and contains pork, leeks, and onions. The soup portion is also generous, so even with two servings of Morisoba, you won't run out of soup. This restaurant also offers reasonably priced and satisfying set meals. The Katsudon set is priced at 1100 yen, but today it was served as a special for 1050 yen, which includes a bowl for one person and half a serving of soba. For an additional 100 yen, you can get a regular serving of Morisoba, for 200 yen you get 1.5 servings, and for 300 yen you get 2 servings, making it a great deal. So, by adding 300 yen for two servings of Morisoba, you can have the Katsudon set for 1350 yen. The pork cutlet is thick and satisfying, and the soba dipping sauce has a mild, well-rounded flavor, perfect for dipping. Both the Tsuke Soba and the set meals are reasonably priced and offer high-quality soba. This place is a rare find in Ginza, and I hope it continues to thrive for a long time.

Today, I participated in a game event in Ginza and decided to stop by a soba restaurant I had been to before because I was feeling hungry. It was a chain restaurant, and I ordered the Tori-don set which came with soba for an additional 100 yen (total 1100 yen). The food arrived quickly, and it looked delicious with a decent portion size. The soba had a nice firm texture and paired well with the rich dipping sauce. The chicken in the Tori-don was tender and the sweet sauce complemented the rice perfectly. Overall, the food was delicious and the cost performance was great. I visit Ginza occasionally, so I would definitely like to come back here again. Thank you for the meal!

I arrived for a late lunch around 2 pm. The restaurant was almost full, so I sat under the TV and ended up sharing a table with someone. I ordered the tanuki soba, which arrived in about 5 minutes. It's cold soba noodles served with warm dipping sauce. It tasted almost like warm tanuki soba in my mouth. I'm thinking about what to eat next. I'll definitely come back again. Thank you for the meal.

On weekends, Ginza was crowded everywhere and I was wandering around looking for a lunch spot, but luckily I found this place! I was able to enter at the right time. I ordered a katsudon set from the staff who spoke broken Japanese! The sweet katsudon had a nostalgic taste and was delicious. The soba noodles were thin and just to my liking, with a good firmness and a refreshing texture.

Platto, today's dinner was a stroll in Ginza. When you exit the central ticket gate of JR Yurakucho Station, you will see the Traffic Hall on your left. Exit the ticket gate, turn left towards the Traffic Hall, and continue straight ahead. Cross the signal at Ginza Maronie Street in Ginza Nishi 2-chome, then cross the signal at Ginza 2-chome on Chuo Street, continue straight ahead, turn right at the fourth intersection, enter Chukyo 430-go Street, and after a while, you will find the restaurant "Katsura-an Ginza 3-chome Branch" on your left. I entered the restaurant at 5:05 PM on a weekday. Upon entering, I was greeted by a female staff member who said, "Please sit wherever you like." I chose a table seat towards the back on the left side, and checked the menu. The menu included various soba dishes and drinks, such as cold soba, warm soba, and rice bowl sets. I decided to try the "Curry Soba" from the recommended series of "Dipping Soba." The Curry Soba was served in a set with soba noodles, curry soba broth, and chopped green onions. The curry broth was not too spicy, had a thick consistency, and was delicious. The soba noodles were medium-thick and went well with the curry broth. Be careful when slurping the noodles as the curry broth tends to splash. Overall, it was a satisfying dining experience at Katsura-an Ginza 3-chome Branch.

I originally planned to go to Yamagata Soba, but they were closed when I arrived at exactly 2 pm, so I gave up and went to this place instead. The restaurant was full, but the turnover was quick and I was seated right away. The soba noodles were cooked perfectly with a firm texture. Considering the price and location, it's not hand-made soba, but it was still delicious. The broth was on the sweeter side, which may not be to everyone's liking. I appreciate that they are open for continuous service even after 2 pm.

While on my way to go shopping in Ginza, I really wanted to eat soba. I ended up at Keian, where I had the seasonal vegetable tempura with kiss fish! The soba had a great texture and was delicious! The kiss fish, which I was curious about, had a fluffy texture and the skin was chewy and very tasty! Thank you for the meal!

I visited a chain soba restaurant in Atarashicho, where I had never been before. The lunch crowd seemed quite busy. I visited the restaurant before dusk after finishing work. The Yuzu pepper grilled chicken was decently seasoned, but the chicken used seemed a bit off... it tasted like frozen and possibly from Brazil, with no real flavor. Quite disappointing. The shrimp and egg dish had small but sweet shrimp with a rich and flavorful broth that I enjoyed. The soba noodles were typical, and when I tried the grated yam, I couldn't help but want more and more.

Ordered the pork cutlet rice bowl set. You can choose between half portion with just sauce or half portion with sauce and raw egg (warm). Today I chose the half portion with sauce and raw egg. The interior of the restaurant is bright, and the staff are energetic and efficient. Of course, the pork cutlet rice bowl was delicious! The broth was good, and it was slightly on the salty side, which was a nice touch. The seating capacity is not very large, but the turnover is fast, so even if there is a line, you won't have to wait too long. Thank you for the meal~♪

It's been a while since I visited. I usually order the set of rice bowl and soba, but this time I tried the kenchin soba for the first time. It was packed with vegetables and very filling, and I enjoyed it. Despite being a chain restaurant, I think the quality of the soba is high. I'm happy that I can eat at this price in Ginza. The staff who served the food were also friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant.

This is a restaurant located a few minutes from the subway Higashi-Ginza Station. I visited for a solo lunch on a weekday afternoon. I was seated at a table and ordered the Oo-same Tendon Set for 1350 yen (tax included). It arrived in about 10 minutes. The main dish was a tempura bowl (with sand lance tempura) and it came with a side of soba noodles. It was a satisfying and delicious meal. Thank you for the meal.

During the planning process of a 24-hour Tokyo Metro ticket trip, I came across a place called "Okada Kameya" in Higashi-Ginza, which has an amazing selection of dried snacks. I wanted to stop by there. While searching for a place nearby where I could have a drink during the day, I found this "Keian". The restaurant did not have a website, but according to the information on the Tabelog website, it seemed to operate continuously. I called around 11 am, assuming that the place wouldn't be too busy since it had just opened. A calm female voice informed me that they operate continuously, so I decided to include this place in my plans. Since I was not bound by time constraints, it was perfect to use as an adjustment valve for my 24-hour ticket trip. Further internet surfing led me to discover that Zeus Enterprise, an IT company in Ginza, has a gourmet site. I found information about this restaurant on their site, which I will quote. "Soba-ya Keian" is a chain with 4 locations in Tokyo, and the one I visited in Ginza is one of them. The main store is located in Suidobashi. They used to operate a chain of gyudon restaurants, but now focus on soba shops. The name of the restaurant is inspired by the founder's family temple and the small hut that stands by the Katsura River in Tsuru City, Yamanashi Prefecture, where they evacuated during the war. Despite being located in the prime area of Ginza, the restaurant maintains a humble "town soba shop" atmosphere. The owner's commitment is for customers to enjoy soba that is "cheap," "delicious," and "filling," which is also their belief." Wow! Sounds great. Usually, I adjust my time in a cafe, but this time I didn't need to, and I arrived at the restaurant just before 2 pm. I was surprised to find that the place was still full, but they were able to seat me at a shared table. They had an attractive evening drink set with one drink, three snacks, and soba for 1,600 yen, but it was only available from 3 pm. So, I ordered a "shochu soba-yu" (550 yen), "simmered dish" (500 yen), and "grilled chicken with yuzu pepper" (550 yen). The timing was perfect as a table next to me became available, and the staff kindly moved me there. The ample soba-yu arrived, perfectly balanced in hardness and flavor. Then came the simmered dish, which was quite substantial with tofu included. It was not too rich and tasted just right as an accompaniment to alcohol. Next, the grilled chicken arrived, with five pieces generously topped with yuzu pepper. There were also two grilled white leeks. Since yuzu pepper is salty, I gathered it all to one side before eating. The chicken was tender and delicious with the right amount of seasoning. I had originally planned to have one more drink at another place, but the atmosphere was so pleasant that I decided to adjust my plans and use the extra time and budget here. I ordered another soba-yu, and then added a simmered dish and a sautéed dish to my order. As I looked at the menu, I noticed that they offered vegetable tempura for 100 yen each, including eggplant, pumpkin, shishito peppers, green onions, and small shrimp. I decided to go with the "onion tempura" instead of the shrimp, and the staff confirmed that it was one piece for 100 yen. The tempura arrived with dipping sauce and grated daikon. The onion was cut into large pieces with a thick batter. It was delicious and sweet. The tempura was accompanied by the dipping sauce and grated daikon.

After visiting Ginza Mitsukoshi for a repair request, I stopped by this soba restaurant on the way back. It's located in a quiet alley, so it might be a hidden gem. When I opened the door, there were a few customers already seated, but I was able to be seated right away. The menu had soba dishes, rice bowl dishes, and sets that included both. I wanted warm soba, so I ordered the limited edition Okame Soba for autumn and winter (1,000 yen including tax). It was topped with naruto, dried shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, egg, fish cake, and wheat gluten, all neatly arranged, making it visually appealing. The portion seemed a bit small, but since I wasn't feeling 100% today, this amount was just right for me. The soba was cooked slightly soft. The soba broth was sweet and not too strong. If I have the chance, I'd like to try dishes like oyakodon in the future. Thank you for the meal.

On a weekday evening at the end of the year, just past 4 pm. The yakitori restaurant wasn't open yet, so I decided to try some soba instead. It was my first time visiting this place. The TV in the restaurant was showing some sports, but I wasn't really paying attention. I started with a draft Sapporo Black Label beer in a medium-sized glass. I also ordered a dish called "tanuki tofu", which turned out to be warm tofu in a sweet broth with plenty of "tanuki" (fried tempura batter) floating on top, served in a hot pot. It was comforting. I then ordered a hot sake called "Daiseki" in a small sake cup. I asked for a bit more sake, which made the staff chuckle. I also ordered some soba noodles, which were surprisingly elegant and had a good texture. I tried dipping them in the sweet broth from the tanuki tofu, sprinkling some shichimi pepper, and mixing in some ground sesame seeds, all of which added different flavors to the experience. The dipping sauce that came with the soba was also delicious. The meal ended with a warm soba broth. The restaurant, called Keian, has five locations in Tokyo. It used to be a chain called Tatsuya, known for its beef bowls, but they also excel at soba. They offer a variety of rice bowl dishes as well. It's easy to overlook a soba restaurant in Ginza, but Keian is a reliable and convenient option. Give it a try!

The set meal of katsudon and tanuki soba (with extra noodles) for 1,200 yen offers a reliable and delicious taste. Due to various cost increases, including ingredients, the prices have been revised. It's reassuring to be able to enjoy this reliable taste in Ginza despite the price adjustment.

The katsudon at the soba restaurant is delicious. It was a cold day, so I ordered a warm tanuki soba set. The katsu was just the right thickness and soaked in broth, very tasty. The tanuki soba had a quite strong broth, which was also delicious. Using the katsudon and soba broth as a soup substitute, I had a very satisfying lunch.

Katsudon Set (with extra noodles) - 1,150 yen This set includes a hearty portion of katsudon with a side of half-sized soba noodles (choose from tanuki or mori, with an option for extra noodles for an additional 50 yen). It's a rare find in Ginza that offers a satisfyingly filling meal. The restaurant has a relaxed atmosphere and is a great place to enjoy a meal without feeling too formal.

While shopping in Ginza, I stumbled upon this restaurant. I arrived before lunchtime, so it was empty at first, but gradually filled up. I ordered the karei (flounder) tempura soba on this day. The large pieces of flounder tempura were crispy and fluffy, and delicious. It's a shame they only accept cash, but I would like to visit this restaurant again on a whim.

In the town of Higashi-Ginza Station, a soba restaurant called "Keian Ginza Sanchome-ten" is popular for its lunch set of donburi and soba, which is very filling. Located at the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line Higashi-Ginza Station, this local soba shop is known for its lunch set of donburi and soba. The most popular item is the "Katsudon Set" (900 yen), featuring thick cutlets, firm eggs, and sweet sauce that create a delicious combination. Another popular choice is the "Toridon Set" (900 yen), which includes lightly battered and sauce-soaked chicken tempura served on rice sprinkled with seaweed, making for a perfect match. The address is 1F, Higashi-Gin Building, 3-10-14 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo.
