Edomae soba is the buckwheat noodle Tokyo perfected in the Edo period: cold seiro served on a bamboo tray with dashi-shoyu dipping sauce, or hot kake in clear dashi.
Soba shops spread across Edo from the 1690s after a famine pushed buckwheat into the city's diet. By 1860 there were 3,800 soba counters in Edo, with three lineages dominating: yabu (Kanda Yabu Soba), sunaba (Osaka origin) and sarashina (Shinshu origin). Kanda Yabu Soba's 1880 main shop reopened in 2014 after a fire and still serves the canonical seiro and kamo nanban.
