Ryouma @ Jinbochou, Tokyo

ym: "a positive surpriser. tomato cheese soup based ramen has quietly been "the thing" for some time, but I did not expect this kind of taste. spiced up uniquely by lemon, herbs, kikurage, and several drops of garlic tabasco does the trick. very hoooking.

another one of MS's hidden gourmet spots."

"Kamo Yaki (top) &
Ko-Ebi Tempura Sarashina Soba(bottom)"

Souhonke Sarashina-Horii @ Azabu Jyuban, Tokyo

ym: "Sarashina means it is 100% made from only the very core part of the buckwheat,
where it contains the most sweetness. As in a normal soba, flour would be used as an addition (called tsunagi) to blend that sweetness.

Also note there are two types of soba-tsuyu (dip sauce).
According to the master, the tsuyu is where the extra investment is made,
and it uses a 10 year vintage tsuyu base.

No wonder the difference.

A soba-connoisseur would first realize that the scent of the tsuyu is different,
and then the harmony of it with the sarashina soba."

They even disclose theingredients -
which is rare for a business of such old standing (since 1789)."
