(In areas west of the Kansai district, soba with kakiage topping is frequently referred to as 'Kakiage soba' for the clarity and, if tenpura is made from large prawns as with the regular soba restaurants in the city, it is referred to as 'Jo tenpura soba' (superior tenpura soba), 'Ebi-ten soba' (prawn tenpura soba) and the like.)
（関西以西でかき揚げを載せたものは「かき揚げそば」と明確に品名を分けることが多く、また市中の蕎麦屋と同様の大きな海老の天ぷらを載せる場合は「上天ぷらそば」「えび天そば」等の名称がある。）
