    Tokyo Arakawa-ku Minami-senju 1-27-6
    "A three-minute walk from the Minowabashi stop on the Toden Arakawa Line. This long-standing soba noodle restaurant is the successor to Sunaba, counted amongst the three great Edo soba noodle restaurants alongside Yabu and Sarashina. ""Sunaba"" means ""sand pit,"" and according to legend this restaurant is one of two which split off from a flourishing soba noodle stand which was opened next to a sand pit used as a place for storing materials during the construction of Osaka Castle. The restaurant's Hanamaki Soba, a kakesoba noodles in hot broth dish covered with crumbled toasted nori resembling fallen cherry blossoms, is served with fresh-grated wasabi which brings out the flavor of the chewy noodles. The restaurant serves jumbo-sized shrimp tempura when you order Ten Zaru (soba noodles served on a draining basket with a side of tempura) or Tempura Soba (soba noodle soup served with tempura on top), but this service is only available in limited quantities on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays."

    ジョイフル三ノ輪の商店街を歩いているとひっそりと佇んでいるのがこのお店です。しかも総本店。中は小上がりとテーブル。いつもテーブルで、板わさと熱燗を頂いてから、もりそば大を楽しみ、最後は蕎麦湯で〆る。お蕎麦の味はもちろんですが、ゆっくりと時間が流れるような雰囲気に惹かれるお店だと思います。

    Tokyo Hachijomachi Okago 2473
    "This udon shop is located next to the Tokyo Metropolitan Governmento Hachijo Branch. This shop has a cozy atmosphere and sells handmade udon noodles that have ""ashitaba"" (herb in the parsley family) kneaded into them. These slender noodles with a strong texture and delicate aroma are also popular with the islanders. In the summer, the popular cold noodle dish ""hiyashi tanuki soba"" is served with so many bonito flakes that you cannot see the noodles. The hiyashi tanuki soba topped with ashitaba tempura and the spicy curry udon served with a large breaded pork cutlet are so big that even men cannot finish them."

    "This well-known soba shop has a showcase menu item called ""Sudachi Soba,"" which features a refreshingly acidic taste that keeps customers coming back for more. Buckwheat starts to go stale the instant it is ground up, so they make sure to get their soba noodles shipped in directly from farmers and grind it fresh each day. They use three different types of grind settings for this: finely ground, coarsely ground, and thick cut. This tucked away soba restaurant has a modern, stylish interior that stands out from most places of its kind. They also feature a large selection of a la carte dishes based on traditional Japanese-style cooking, as well as an assortment of Japanese sake to choose from since many guests love to come in to dine over a relaxing drink."

    We waited around 45 minutes for our turn during lunchtime, but there were half a dozen chairs at the bar table unoccupied. Perhaps the restaurant was short of staff or it was a deliberate policy to...
