Shinjuku City, Tokyo, Japan｜Ryoka

Amazing unassuming soba shop that has a small but great menu. The special, which includes both a tempura don and cold soba was a perfect amount of food. The texture of the soba was bouncy and not stuck together.. one of the best I've ever had in terms of texture. The soba is also 100% hokkaido buckwheat.

Amazing soba restaurant. I tried the maitake tempura soba, with mushrooms and herbs battered and deep fried. It came with mentsuyu and ponzu, and they offered a tea as a drink (I think it was sobacha, buckwheat tea). They also bring you water to add to your mentsuyu, in case you want to have it as a drink when you finish your noodles. The whole set costed ¥1,200 and it was delicious. Very good quality/price ratio. Friendly and professional staff. The restaurant is taking measures against COVID-19.
