Went to a soba restaurant in Akabane called "Zenmi Kotobuki" 禅味寿. I got the "天せいろ" Ten Seiro "Tempura Soba Served on a Bamboo Wicker Tray" If I had to translate it literally I guess lol. Cost 1350 yen and it was 大盛サービス free extra serving of noodles. And who am I to turn down free noodles? The choice was obvious and so I got the extra helping! I really liked the atmosphere of the place too. The waitresses were wearing Japanese-style clothing as well, which made it a really nice experience. I always enjoy visiting small shops like this where the owners have it decorated in their own style and you can see all of the bottles of sake or whatever else is used to create the atmosphere of the restaurant. Anyways, as for the food, the tempura was cooked really well and the soba was the perfect texture. At the end of the meal they brought some hot soba water so I could drink the remaining tsuyu soba sauce as a sort of warm drink. Was a great experience that I haven't had in a while!

Was in Kanda the other day for an errand and stopped by this place called "Soba Dokoro Kameya" そば処 かめや outside of Kanda Station. It says "立食い" which means "standing noodles," but I didn't actually see any places to stand and eat so maybe it just meant that it was simple and quick like a standing noodle shop. I've never actually experienced what it's like to eat at a standing noodle restaurant and actually stand while eating but I think I prefer sitting anyways. I like to relax when I eat so I suppose that's why, but I should at least try it once, who knows, I might like it. Anyways, the place seems really affordable. I ordered the Ten Tama Soba since it was the most popular dish and it tasted great. The soup was really good and the egg was perfectly cooked. The texture of the noodles was also perfect. It's definitely a place to check out if your in the Kanda area and looking for some noodles. I think they may only be open during the morning and night, but I went around 4pm so maybe they close around that time to prepare for dinner.

Went to a soba restaurant in Ueno called Rengyoku-an 蓮玉庵 over the weekend and ordered same really tasty tempura and soba. I ordered the Tempura Seiro Soba 天せいろそば and it was a bit pricey at 1750 yen but it tasted great. What I really liked about the restaurant though besides the food, was the atmosphere of the place. It had a bunch of really awesome art hanging on the walls that was reminiscent of Edo Period art and I'm a pretty big fan of that so it was really enjoyable. The inside of the building was grey but it was very stylish. I'm not sure what the walls were made of, but it seemed to be some sort of granite and the coloring of the seats was also in a similar fashion but very tasteful. I definitely want to go back here again and try some more of their dishes! It's pretty close to Okachimachi Station so it's pretty easy to drop in for lunch.

HA! Soba eaten with just an entire leek for a spoon. I'd love to try this. My girlfriend loves green onions so I'm sure she'd love this too 😂 I think one of the great things about Japan is that not only is the food really delicious, but it's also generally really healthy too. I'd certainly agree that this is innovative! As I've been informed there's also laver not wakame as well as nameko mushrooms in the soup! Sounds delicious to me! I had some really good soba over New Years as well but I never thought to use a leek for a spoon! I'll have to try it out next time I eat it at home! Ouchi-Juku looks like a really cool place in Fukushima as well. It reminds me of Shirakawa-go with the thatched rooves.

Japanese dining table. It's hard to go out to eat in Coronavirus pandemic, so I'm immersed in the feeling of eating out with my own food. Today, tempura soba and bamboo shoots are cooked rice.

Recently, ramen from popular restaurants can be easily ordered. This is ramen, but buckwheat flour is used. Deliciously innovative! I wanted to rip.
