In the East Village, Sobaya stands out for its unbeatable buckwheat soba and comforting udon. With a focus on authenticity, co-owner Bon Yagi keeps it simple yet exceptional. His traditional approach is reflected in the serene dining space and well-timed service. ✨ Start with uni and grated mountain yam, topped with wasabi and crispy nori. 🍣 Then, dive into a seasonal noodle dish—perhaps warm soba with pickled oysters, mountain yam, cilantro, and tempura root vegetables. 🍲
