I made a reservation about two weeks ago for Saturday around 6 PM. I arrived about 20 minutes early, and I was pleased that they welcomed me warmly. It's easy to dine alone here since you can make a reservation for one person, and there are counter seats available.The interior is very clean, and the service is excellent, making it a very comfortable place to be. First, the appetizers were diverse and of high quality, and they were absolutely delicious. Among the appetizers, the tofu topped with shiba-zuke (pickled shiso) was outstanding. Since the food was so good, I decided to try several dishes, and each one was wonderful. I appreciated that they prepared smaller portions for solo diners, which was very thoughtful. All the dishes were seasoned to pair well with alcohol, and I found myself enjoying my drinks quite a bit. The Sazima octopus, in particular, had fantastic ingredients and a surprising depth of flavor. I also had some soba at the end, which was indeed tasty, but the quality of the other dishes was so high that the soba felt somewhat ordinary in comparison. Personally, I thought the soba dipping sauce was a bit on the strong side. I ended up ordering about five drinks, and I was amazed by the incredible value and quality, as my total came to just over JPY 10,000.I believe this is the best soba restaurant for solo dining in a fantastic atmosphere. I will definitely visit again. It was a great meal.◯ Orders:Tamago-yaki (Japanese omelet)Boni-shin (small portion)Shiba-zuke as an appetizer was the bestSazima octopus (small portion)Soba with tororo (grated yam)Two servings of mori soba, inaka and seiroVarious drinks
