How many bowls can you handle? 🍜

At Yamanekoken in Iwate, it’s not just about eating soba — it’s a full-on challenge. Servers hover with lightning speed, refilling your bowl the moment you finish, and they won’t stop until you cover it with a lid. The bowls may be tiny, but don’t be fooled!

We hit 110 bowls — can you beat our record?

📍 Yamanekoken, Iwate, Japan
💵 ~¥4,000/pax (~S$35)
🕰️ 11AM–8PM (daily)

*Pro-tip: Pace yourself — those “tiny” bowls add up FAST 😅
