Tabelog 4.31🥈⁣

Sonoji was established by Chef Suzuki in 2000 in a city called Shimada [島田] in the Shizuoka Perfecture. It used to be a casual tempura and soba eatery which offers a la carte. In 2016, Sonoji was relocated to Tokyo as chef has accumulated enough wealth to step up his game. Chef Suzuki picked Ningjocho [人形町] because it’s believed to be the origin of tempura soba. ⁣

Sonoji was established by Chef Suzuki in 2000 in a city called Shimada [島田] in the Shizuoka Perfecture. It used to be a casual tempura and soba eatery which offers a la carte. In 2016, Sonoji was relocated to Tokyo as chef has accumulated enough wealth to step up his game. Chef Suzuki picked Ningjocho [人形町] because it’s believed to be the origin of tempura soba. ⁣
⁣
The new location does not stop Chef Suzuki from sourcing his seafood and vegetables in Shizuoka. In fact, Shizuoka Prefecture is hailed as the city of seafood as Suruga Bay [駿河湾] is the deepest bay in Japan that lands all sorts of rare deep-sea fish and crustaceans. Needless to say, the tempura featuring ingredients from Shizuoka was particularly delicious, including the moist tachiuo [太刀魚], meaty tamangei [新玉蔥], flaky kisu [鱚魚] and flavor-packed megochi [目鯒]. Let’s not forget the soba with sakura ebi – it’s such a satisfying finish to this rich meal. Do note that the batter is quite heavy, definitely not the modern style that emphasizes thinness. If you like Kusunoki [くすのき], you may not enjoy Sonoji’s take on tempura and batter. Reservation is completely regulars only and you should plan your visit 6-9 months in advance. ⁣

One of my favorites in Tokyo, always happy to be back. Highlights this time: deer, shirako and shiitake. •

Sonoji 蕎ノ字 in early summer, those cute little fish were tasty! This place is just magical, perfectly satisfied every single time (maybe a bit too much sake), hands down one of the best tempura restaurants in Tokyo. •

Sonoji 日本橋蕎ノ字 2nd visit — consistent and solid food quality, probably one of my top 3 tempura restaurants in Tokyo. Highlights this time were shrimp head (crispy outside with juicy flavorful guts inside), eggplant (tasted amazing raw, so sweet that it’s more like a fruit than a vegetable) and sweet corn (crunchy and refreshing). The texture of the soba was perfect, though it was quite a lot of food (and sake) for lunch. •

Nihonbashi Sonoji 日本橋蕎ノ字 1st visit — a tempura restaurant also famous for its soba. Chef Suzuki san is from Shizuoka so he features ingredients and sake from his hometown. Very high quality tempura, perfect texture and full of flavors. Loved the tender and smoky venison tempura and the seasonal takenoko tempura. Soba was freshly made every day, al dente texture and pure buckwheat flavor. Overall an amazing meal. •
