We
came
here
with
high
recommendations
from
a
friend.
The
reservations
were
full,
so
we
took
a
shot
at
walk-in.
We
got
lucky
and
waited
1
hour
to
get
our
table.
We
received
a
surprise
amuse
bouche.
It
was
definitely
a
palate
cleanser.
To
start,
we
got
the
Shime
Saba,
the
Hokkaido
Scallop
Chawanmushi,
the
Octopus
Ahijo,
and
Shrimp
Tempura.
The
Shime
Saba
was
light
and
refreshing
with
bursts
of
acidic
tones.
The
Hokkaido
Scallop
Chawanmushi
was
a
much
heavier
dish
as
it
had
egg
custard.
The
Octopus
was
tender
and
intriguing.
My
kids
enjoyed
the
Shrimp
Tempura,
though
it
was
pretty
oilly.
Between
starters,
I
would
prefer
the
Shime
Saba.
We
got
the
kids
the
Tempura
Kake
Soba
while
my
wife
and
I
got
the
Kamonegi
Seiro
Soba
and
the
Cream
of
Black
Trumpet
Mushroom
Soba.
The
kids
enjoyed
their
soba.
I
actually
prefer
theirs
over
the
ones
we
ordered.
The
Kamonegi
Seiro
Soba
is
the
restaurant's
most
popular
soba,
and
I
can
see
why.
The
broth
is
interesting,
and
the
duck
meat
was
indulgent.
I
liked
the
meatball
especially.
The
Cream
of
Black
Trumpet
Mushroom
Soba
was
earthy
as
expected.
It
was
far
too
earthy
for
me.
Due
to
the
kids'
nagging,
we
got
the
Oreo
Tempura
and
Miriam's
Parfait.
Both
were
quite
sweet.
Surprisingly,
my
kids
did
not
finish
the
Oreo
Tempura.
This
Soba
place
is
a
little
different
than
the
familiar
and
mainstream
noodle
shops.
I
can
see
why
there's
always
a
line-up.
