Suginami City, Tokyo, Japan｜Shinano

Really really good traditional soba set!! You feel in this place that traditions are respected and of course you taste it in your meals. The tempura were way more light, fresh and crispy compared to some other places we went. Our set was vegan 🌿💚 as we asked for vegetables only tempura.

Super yummy udon and tempura! This was one of the nicest meals I’ve had in Tokyo. It’s simple but hearty. I came here for lunch and dinner— at lunch time there’s a steady stream of people, including businessmen and couples. The udon was just chewy enough and the tempura was lovely and crisp. The tempura was vegetarian, which made it much easier for me as I have allergies (like prawns). There’s also free flow of I think it’s houjicha... it’s delicious hot tea. It was perfect on a nippy spring day.

Feels like a Camden Market in the middle of Tokyo.
