While exploring the underground shopping area at Tokyo Station, I found this standing soba shop with a charming, everyday Japanese atmosphere! They specialize in house-made soba noodles made with funori seaweed and served with freshly fried tempura—simple but very appealing.
My must-order recommendation is the mixed tempura soba! The piping-hot broth comes with a generous serving of golden mixed tempura, which becomes even more flavorful as it soaks up the broth. Paired with the smooth, chewy soba noodles, every bite is satisfying.
They also put a lot of care into preparing the noodles. After cooking, the noodles are rinsed in cold water and then reheated in boiling water, so you may have to wait a little for your order. But the noodles really are firm, smooth, and easy to eat, making it hard to stop after each bite!
