Kyoto and Osaka, located in the Kansai region of Japan, are well-known for their delicious udon noodles. However, you can also enjoy delightful soba noodles (buckwheat noodles) in Kyoto. Let us introduce you to Kawamichi-ya, a soba restaurant on Fuyacho-Dori Street in Kyoto. Steve Jobs and David Bowie were also regular patrons of this soba restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On day 2 in Kyoto, I woke up early and visited Nanzen-Ji Temple and Honen-in Temple. For breakfast, I ate bread at Sanjo-Kawaramachi Shinshindo. After breakfast, I played along the Kamo River and saw the Kyoto Botanical Gardens. I returned to Kyoto City for lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I returned from the Kyoto Botanical Garden to Karasuma Oike via the subway. For lunch, I walked around Kyoto looking for a restaurant and found an old-fashioned soba restaurant on Fuyacho-Dori.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Misoka-an Kawamichi-ya<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Misoka-an Kawamichi-ya<\/a> is a soba restaurant run by a long-established Japanese confectionery store called Kawamichiya. They are known for their \u201cSoba-horu\u201d (buckwheat flour cookies).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I arrived at the store around 1:00 p.m. and was able to be seated without reservation. I entered the restaurant through the white shop curtain hanging at the entrance, which had the name \u201cMisoka-an Kawamichi-ya\uff08\u6666\u5eb5 \u6cb3\u9053\u5c4b\uff09\u201d written in black letters. The interior of the store had a relaxed atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soba restaurant frequented by Steve Jobs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Steve Jobs was fascinated by Japanese culture and often took his family to Kyoto. On his last visit to the city before he passed away, he tried out a soba restaurant that he had never been to before. Oshima Hiroshi, who served as Jobs\u2019 driver and tour guide during his time in Kyoto, recalls how it went.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI once tried taking him to a different place but he didn\u2019t finish the meal,\u201d Oshima says. \u201cHe asked me to take him to his usual place to eat again.\u201d<\/p>Steve Jobs in Kyoto<\/a> \u2013 quoted from NHK WORLD-JAPAN News
<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

When Oshima asked Jobs what he didn\u2019t like about the restaurant, Jobs replied, \u201cThe nori on the soba rolls doesn\u2019t taste the way it should. So I want to eat again at my usual soba restaurant.\u201d For Jobs, the \u201cusual soba restaurant\u201d was \u201cMisoka-an Kawamichi-ya,\u201d where he had his last \u201csoba roll\u201d in his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
