I'm so happy to have real wasabi! The appetizer had a simple yet careful flavor, and the winter melon was delicious. Everything was served cold and refreshing. Soba, soba gaki, and soba pizza. The soba is 100% buckwheat, but it's thin and mild in flavor. My companion said they could taste the soba's aroma, but I didn't really feel it that much. Despite our differing opinions, we both found it easy to eat and delicious. (Others have mentioned this too) It has a Tabelog Bronze rating, but it’s not mind-blowing! It’s just consistently good. What I liked even more than the soba was that they use real wasabi! I visited Soba no Mi during this trip as well (by the way, I wonder if the similar names are related?), and even though it’s a famous place, they used tube wasabi ( ; ; ). So, the real wasabi enhances the flavor of the soba and soba gaki. The soba gaki was completely different from the previous one… it was properly chewy, and you could really feel the tsubu-tsubu texture of the buckwheat. As for the pizza… I think a regular tomato-based one would be better than the white one. You might imagine it like a pizza made with gyoza skins that you find in izakayas.
