Nestled in a quiet residential area, just a short walk from Meiji-Jingu-Mae Station and Harajuku Station, lies a renowned soba restaurant.With its understated sign, the location exudes a special charm, making you feel as if you are visiting a hidden gem.The interior features soft lighting, creating a calm atmosphere filled with the warmth of wood.Dinner is served exclusively as a course, allowing you to savor a selection of exquisite dishes and soba in small portions.▶︎ What I ordered:- Soba Gaki- Dashi-Maki Tamago (Japanese rolled omelet)- Assorted Sashimi- Deep-Fried Kuruma Ebi (sweet shrimp)- Coarse Soba- Hot Soba with Natto (fermented soybeans)- Matcha Ice CreamThe course began with warm, freshly made Soba Gaki!The dashi-maki tamago, with its elegant sweetness and rich umami, was delightful, and the crispy kuruma ebi was a perfect addition!You can choose from various types of their signature soba.The coarse soba offers a unique texture and a robust flavor that fills your mouth, while the hot soba with natto is served with a style that combines the egg and hot dipping sauce, creating a harmonious blend of creamy richness and warm dashi.The rich and thick soba-yu (soba water) served at the end was the perfect finishing touch!This is a restaurant I wholeheartedly recommend for special occasions or as a treat for yourself.
