The history of "Izushi Soba" dates back to the Edo period, famous for its motto of "freshly ground, freshly kneaded, freshly boiled." With about 40 soba shops, it is one of the top soba destinations in the Kansai region. "Jinbei" exudes a warm and sincere hospitality, leaving a deep impression with its Japanese-style space. A family-run business for three generations, it has long upheld tradition since its establishment and is the most popular soba shop in Izushi. The individual set meal features five plates of soba served in Izushi-style small dishes along with various condiments. Diners can order additional small plates of soba based on their appetite, which is a characteristic dining style of Izushi Soba. Although each plate is not large, the addition of fresh egg, yam, and other rich condiments ensures that diners will keep reaching for more.
