A small serving of mixed rice alongside tempura soba makes for a lunch that lets you enjoy both noodles and rice. One visitor reported that the rice included jako and had a gentle flavour. The soba broth, they said, left a lingering note of dried fish, while the generously sized prawn tempura made for a satisfying bite.

Another diner appreciated that the tempura was served freshly fried to order, one reason to consider the tempura udon or tempura soba. A separate visitor noted the prawn’s springy texture and the light-feeling batter. The udon is handmade, and one report praised the house-made broth for its pronounced bonito flavour. Other options include kitsune, kombu, kizami and curry udon or soba, as well as toj(i) udon, so there are choices beyond tempura.

Udon and soba are available for takeaway as well as dining in. The restaurant also offers broth and set meals to take away, according to its information, giving you the option of enjoying them at home. Payment is cash only.
