Musashino, Tokyo, Japan｜庄三郎

You can reach the store in 1 to 2 minutes from the south exit of Kichijoji Station, Recommended if you're looking for a soba restaurant near the station. You will go up to the second floor rather than the streetside store, but please don't be nervous and try it out. It's a relaxing shop. Soba is so delicious that I want to eat just one piece of it, so I always order it individually instead of choosing from the lunch menu. I like to eat it with tempura soba while enjoying the crispy tempura. Soba soup is especially recommended for those who like sweetness. They also have delicious sake, and the brands of alcohol are posted and on the menu, so you can come and have a drink with your soba. We also offer one dish for lunch.

I went there for the first time with my elementary school student who loves soba during a summer class. The information signage looked adult-like, so I was nervous until I entered the store wondering if it was okay to bring children with me, but there were table seats, a goldfish in the aquarium, and two girls who looked like the store's children were doing their homework on the table next to the cash register. It was surprisingly a family-friendly restaurant, with free orange juice and iced coffee, making it a perfect place to go with kids. The soba soup with strong dashi, the soba noodles, and the soba soup that was served at the end were delicious, and the price seemed reasonable. It was a great restaurant that made me want to come back again, find a hidden gem, and tell someone about it.

I really like it because you can eat delicious food, alcohol, and soba noodles at a reasonable price, and even though it's right in front of Kichijoji Station, it's not too crowded. The owner and wife of the shop are very nice, and the children who run the shop are cute and wandering around.
