Suginami City, Tokyo, Japan｜Maze Soba Minami

Really good mazesoba. It has some numbing spice to it, but not overly spicy. Remember to ask for rice to add to the leftover sauce when you finish the noodles. One of the workers there speaks good English, I was surprised. They offered me an English menu, which I accepted and used to figure out which button to press on the ticket machine.

The owner is kind. He's attentive and speaks a bit of English. There's an English menu so don't be afraid of asking for it. The mazesoba is well balanced, the sauce is rich without being too heavy. There's an assortment of sauces, like a sriracha mayo-like condiment. It goes well with the noodles. At the end he'll offer to add some rice to your bowl for free. Take advantage of that and soak up the broth. It was raining that day and he even sent me home with an umbrella. What a kind soul - definitely visit him

One of my favorite maze soba places so far in Tokyo. I’ve been hunting this down for the last year, and this one hit the spot. The taste has a little kick to it, and the additional ingredients you can add are numerous. I really think that you only need to add vinegar to make it taste great. The staff was super friendly and there was an English menu. Will definitely be back.
