Established in 1930, this long-established store has been standing on Oimatsu Street since its founding.
Naniwa Okina is a specialty hand-made soba noodle shop located in Oimatsucho, Kita-ku, Osaka.
We use only domestically grown buckwheat, mill only the amount we will serve that day, and do everything by hand.We visit the producing areas of not only the buckwheat but also other ingredients, and speak directly with the producers to ensure we only purchase ingredients that we are satisfied with.
The secret to our deliciousness is our dedication and heart. We have created a restaurant that is loved not only by soba lovers but also by soba restaurant lovers. Please enjoy the pleasant passage of time.

What is your most memorable experience during your time at Tsuji Gakuen?
It was the last party with my classmates. Everyone was proactive and ambitious. We all had a sense of unity as classmates.
Please tell us an episode that made you glad to be a graduate of Tsuji Gakuen.
There are many alumni, and even when meeting for the first time, you can feel a sense of familiarity.
A message to high school students aiming to work in the cooking and confectionery fields
