Had a fantastic soba meal at Ebisu Kaoriya. Started with a flight of saké. Included a half-order of dashimaki tamago savory omelet, soba yaki miso, and tsukemono pickles. All very good. My favorite is always the miso with buckwheat groats. This one included julienned ginger. These three dishes are lovely with the nihonshu.

The otameshi soba kiri includes both tsuyu and a nutty goma dare sesame dipping sauce. Staff ask diners prefer thick or thin noodles. I asked what the house recommends and was advised to try the thick noodles. I am glad that I did as I don’t see this style very often. Looks like the Yamagata local style called ita soba. Diners can appreciate the texture and aroma of the soba when cut thick like this. Soba here is presented in a wooden rectangle box as in Yamagata. The lunch set comes with rice or warabi mochi.

Grateful to Dan Castellano for putting this charming sobaya on my radar. Arigato, Dan san!
