A top-notch tempura restaurant, where the quality of the tempura and the final soba are simply irresistible.Located in Ningyocho, this renowned establishment, Tempura Nihonbashi Sonoji, truly deserves its Tabelog Silver status with its high-quality tempura.Each dish is light, aromatic, and maximizes the quality of the ingredients.The course begins with soba, followed by a clam soup and the first flush of tea leaves.From the very start, you can sense the unique atmosphere that defines Sonoji.The classic flow continues with sweet shrimp, Japanese whiting, and squid, all beautifully cooked with a delicate batter that highlights the natural sweetness of the ingredients.Among them, the tempura zucchini left a particularly strong impression.Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, the moment you bite into it, the sweetness and aroma burst forth.It’s astonishing how such a simple ingredient can be transformed into something so delicious.Truly exquisite.The course continues with sea bream, green beans, soba dumplings, sandfish, eggplant, sea urchin, potatoes, and clam tempura, all of which are light and enjoyable until the very end.Despite being tempura, there’s a sense of traditional Japanese cuisine in the composition.Every element, from the ingredients to the seasonality, aroma, and aftertaste, is meticulously crafted.And then, the final touch: the soba.This is truly something special.The aroma, texture, and lingering taste of the soba that comes after finishing the tempura are unforgettable.This final dish makes the Sonoji course truly one-of-a-kind.It’s a restaurant known for both tempura and soba, allowing you to enjoy both at a high level.I feel fortunate to experience such high-quality tempura and soba in Ningyocho.A restaurant that truly deserves its Tabelog Silver status.I will definitely return again.It was a great meal.
