Sumida City, Tokyo, Japan｜Gen

The goma-dare (sesame sauce) soba at Gen is a must! Perfect texture and flavor. Cool decor, nice background music, free Wi-Fi available. Prices for lunch are in the ¥800 ~ ¥1,500 range.

Delicious soba lunch. They have an English menu and the choices are limited, so it’s not very intimidating for those who don’t speak Japanese.

Great spot for yakitori and other Japanese style skewers. I had the sampler dinner with appetizer, five skewers, cold soba, and dessert. It was a lot to eat and gave a good sample of everything. The croquette appetizer was my favorite and worth getting.
