There are more than 50 soba shops in the area named Nihonbashi alone. I think there are many people compared to other regions.
Kosei, where he was born, was said to be "If you can't beat soba or udon, you can't get married." One-third of the body is made by side, so I'm convinced that the feet are now on Nihonbashi.
It is no exaggeration to say that the history of soba is the history of Nihonbashi. About 400 years ago, I remember reading a literature that a monk at a temple called Toko-in in Nihonbashi-Nanawa-cho (now Nihonbashi Honmachi 4-chome) ate soba (soba-cut) for the first time in Edo.
In addition, the first soba shop in Edo was called Shinanoya, which opened in Nihonbashi. In this Shinanoya, it seems that "Bukkake soba" (now Kakesoba) was born afterwards.
By the way, this time, I would like to introduce the neighborhood of the Nihonbashi area that I ate during the six months from July to December last year. It's still far from conquering all stores, but all are shops that offer unique soba.
