ジビエ・活川魚料理・十割手打ち蕎麦処 「政右衛門」（MASAEMOＮ）

Very authentic experience. Only one man running the whole restaurant, from catching the fish in the fish tank to cleaning tables, taking orders/payments and cooking. He used a translator device with every customer to explain how to eat the noodles. The soba noodles were 100% buckwheat, so gluten-free, as was the broth. He had an excellent understanding of gluten-free. The food was exceptional would recommend making a reservation, lots of people were turned away as it was full. Only 4 tables thar seat 2 people in the small restaurant.

One of the best experiences I've had ever having a meal across the world! Tucked away in a little alley in Kyoto I was reading on google this place had some amazing Udon along with amazing surface which did not disappoint! It may look closed because its tucked away but it is not don't worry! We got the venison soba which Is 100% buckwheat and gluten free! The owner explained all of this through one of the best pocket translators I've ever seen! Follow his instructions to eat it in the best way possible so it compliments your palate! After we had the amazing venison Soba he told us to leave some broth, so he could make a porridge which was even better! The whole meal was DELICIOUS! It was quiet which added to ambiance and made it a very personal experience. The owner/chef is one of the best, and most memorable people we came across during our 2 week trip in Japan. The fact he takes the time to explain how to eat the amazing dish properly , and puts his love into it makes a huge difference. Such a kind man! I hope to visit this place again when we inevitably visit japan again someday 🙌🏽.

Fantastic duck soba. It’s a small, cute place which serves authentic soba. Very friendly staff. I really appreciated that they walk you through how to eat soba in a traditional way. Amazing spot for those seeking gluten free soba in Kyoto!
