The soba noodle with shrimp is super yummy. However, you should prepare cash and wait for the food to come

It is located in a quiet residential area a little far from Ryogoku Station.
A signboard is a small thing embedded in the wall. It's a little confusing.
This is a soba restaurant that creates a hideaway atmosphere just by displaying the day's menu in front of the store.

The noren curtains don't have any big writing on them, such as the store name, and I've seen ocher and light green noren curtains.
Does it mean something? That's it. .

However, when I entered the store, it was always full.

When entering the store, we always ask for a counter seat in front of the soba mortar.

Even if I change the queue, I still like that counter.

After explaining today's soba flour, I made sure to order seasonal tempura or kakiage separately, and waited for the soba noodles to arrive with sake.

I order the tempura first.

The batter is light and crispy, so it's not heavy.
You can enjoy the texture and aroma of seasonal ingredients.

Nihachi soba is chewy and thick. It's chewy.
The dipping sauce has a gentle taste with a strong aroma and a slight sweetness.

It's a rare space where relaxing jazz music flows. You can enjoy soba in a very relaxed manner.

I had a different type of soba once, but I was able to enjoy a different kind of soba with the yuzu scent.

It's delicious here! 

It is a restaurant where you can enjoy the taste of seasonal ingredients in each season, so in my opinion, it is a famous soba restaurant that you cannot miss.

I believe it was a cash only transaction.

I look forward to hearing from you again.
