Exciting Summer Delicacies: Limited-Time Offerings at Hakone Soba

As the warm season approaches, Hakone Soba is set to delight food lovers with its seasonal menu featuring three exclusive delicacies starting May 16, 2025. Building on the success from last summer, this release promises to bring back favorite dishes while introducing new flavors that will captivate your taste buds.

A Seasonal Classic Returns

The standout feature of this year’s summer menu is the Asparagus Bacon Roll Tempura with Edamame and Corn Mini Kakiage Tempura. Priced at 690 yen, this dish has been reimagined to include vibrant mini shrimp and corn tempura, now paired with the fan-favorite asparagus bacon roll that originally garnered acclaim last year. This delightful combination can be enjoyed with either soba or udon, served hot or cold to cater to all preferences.

Healthy and Flavorful

In addition to the tempura, diners can experience the Steamed Chicken with Plum Puree and Grated Yam for 670 yen. This refreshingly light dish presents a perfect blending of flavors with the tender chicken, the unique texture of the yam, and the tartness of the plum. It's a healthy option that shines especially during the warmer months when appetites may diminish. Note that this dish is only available with cold soba or udon.

Delicious and Satisfying

For those seeking a fulfilling meal, the Tuna Tartare Rice Bowl Set priced at 800 yen provides both abundance and satisfaction. This dish pairs a creamy tuna tartare bowl with a choice of hot or cold soba or udon, offering a delightful and refreshing taste to balance the hearty aspects of the meal.

Please note that while the Asparagus Bacon Roll Tempura is available at all Hakone Soba locations, the Steamed Chicken and Tuna Tartare Rice Bowl may not be available at every store, so it’s wise to check in advance.

Experience the Essence of Hakone Soba

Hakone Soba continues to win the hearts of local customers alongside the Odakyu Line, renowned for its freshly boiled noodles and savory dashi broth. The signature kakiage tempura is made fresh on-site, ensuring each dish bursts with flavor. Seasonal specials often include unique offerings that can be experienced only at that particular time of year.

Don’t forget that Hakone Soba also provides comfortable seating for guests, making it an ideal stop during your journey along the Odakyu Line. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a long-time fan, make sure to stop by and indulge in the specially curated summer offerings.
