Ebisu Soba - Takayama

I had my first lunch seating on a tatami here. The atmosphere feels authentic and warm. Food was also great. I definitely recommend it!

Great place to experience homemade soba. Staff was super friendly and attentive and knew very well what vegan is. The comic book on how to eat soba is a plus! The second floor room (and the steeeep stairs) are quite an experience. Updated from previous review on 2023-11-07

I asked for the vegan/vegetarian menu and ordered from it. The good was amazing! Would definitely recommend Updated from previous review on 2023-10-12

Food was mindblowingly good! Soba had a nutty flavor that you just can’t get in the US. As soon as I said I was vegetarian they brought me a separate vegetarian menu! As a non-vegan I was a little disappointed that the vegetarian menu didn’t have the option to add a quail egg or mushrooms to the cold soba, just yam. My partner eats fish and therefore was able to order cold soba with yam, mushrooms and egg (but his sauce had dashi and mine did not). I probably could have accomplished getting the additions if I felt bolder about asking questions. Food also came with a very informative comic-book-style pamphlet about how to enjoy traditional soba. All in all it was a meal I will definitely remember for years to come.

They will bring you a menu with the 3 vegan options if you ask for vegan food. Nice staff and delicious soba.
