In a corner of Ningyocho, I experienced a sublime lunchtime that reflects the exquisite aesthetics of craftsmanship. I finally visited the long-admired "Nihonbashi Sonoji."The highlight here is the unique style of alternating between tempura, which concentrates the umami of the ingredients to the utmost through frying, and soba, which boasts a refined texture and exceptional aroma. As the lunch course begins, tempura is carefully fried one by one right in front of me at the counter, served with delightful precision.The carefully selected ingredients, primarily from Suruga Bay, are perfectly light in batter and well-drained of oil. When I take a bite, it crisps and bursts in my mouth, releasing the pure sweetness and moisture of the ingredients. Then, to refresh the palate after the tempura, the soba arrives, offering an extraordinary taste. The flavor, texture, and umami of the dipping sauce are exquisite, creating a perfect "catch and throw" experience between the tempura and soba.Experiencing such a sophisticated and story-rich gastronomy at lunchtime is the epitome of luxury. This establishment truly allows you to savor the essence of Japanese cuisine with all your senses.
