Sayama Okina

Sayama Okina, a highly-rated soba restaurant in Tokorozawa, Saitama, is celebrated for its exquisite handmade soba. As part of the prestigious "Okina Daruma" lineage and a consistent recipient of Tabelog's "Soba Hyakumeiten" award, it offers thin noodles with remarkable koshi (chewiness) and aroma, perfectly balanced with the dipping sauce. Beyond soba, patrons rave about their crispy tempura, fragrant roasted miso with soba grains, and homemade tofu. The restaurant, located in a tranquil stand-alone house, provides a calm and spacious dining experience, often enhanced by the warm and welcoming hospitality of an elderly lady. While credit cards are not accepted and parking is limited, the exceptional quality of food and service make it a worthwhile destination for both families and friends.
