What people say
Soba restaurants are known for their healthy and delicious cuisine, and Shimbashi Soba on Smith Street in Collingwood is no exception. What sets this restaurant apart is their use of premium Tasmanian buckwheat, which is consistently cool and ideal for cultivating and storing buckwheat crops. The Japanese stone mill used to mill the flour every day ensures that the buckwheat's rich flavor is retained.
The homemade broth used in their Soba dishes is made from premium quality Japanese bonito flakes, soy sauce, sweet rice wine, and sugar. No MSG is added, making it a healthier option for diners. Chef Taka's signature dishes such as Sashimi, Agedashi Tofu (Deep-fried beancurd in sauce), Takoyaki (octopus balls), and Okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake) are also available.
What's more impressive about Shimbashi Soba is that they make their Soba noodles fresh every day at the restaurant. This guarantees that diners get to enjoy the freshest and most authentic taste of traditional Japanese noodles.
Whether you prefer your Soba chilled or in warm soup, Shimbashi Soba has got you covered. With its wide range of Japanese cuisine options, this restaurant offers an unforgettable dining experience that will leave you wanting more. If you're looking for a healthy yet delicious meal option in Collingwood, look no further than Shimbashi Soba.
