Favorite Weekend Lunch Spot. Quality food. Remember to ask for Sobayu when you are about to finish your soba. After finishing the soba/ udon, dilute the sauce with sobayu to drink. It's healthy. Call in for reservations.

Delicious Soba for only 530 yen. Light meal. Not much service. Food was served immediately and super fast-paced. Uncomfortable & tight seating. Wait on the side, order and pay right away, then eat quickly, and leave quickly. Located inside the narrow Omoide Yokocho in Shinjuku with lots of tourist traffic.

Returning for Sudachi Soba. This Seasonal Summer Limited Dish is ending sometime in September. Signature Seiro
White Soba uses 70% polished buckwheat & 30% flour. Amazing Soba. Came back to try the Ginnan Nutsm which was salted & tasty with a bit of bitterness.
Because the kitchen is open, it
can feel a bit smokey/ oily in the seating area. Call-in for
reservations as well as reserve Sudachi for the summer.

Sudachi Soba. All I want is a bowl of Sudachi (Japanese Citrus) Soba in the hot summer. My first time trying, finally. Off-the-menu & limited supply. Only available once a year every summer in July/August. Signature Seiro White Soba uses 70% polished buckwheat & 30% flour. Amazing Soba. Udon is ok. Various Doburi available. Because the kitchen is open, it can feel a bit smokey/ oily in the seating area. Call-in for reservations as well as reserve Sudachi for the summer. Will need to come back to try other dishes.

Handmade Soba & Udon Noodles. Nice Soba w/ add-on options. Ordered the 2 limited edition Fan Favorite Summer for July. Nice & refreshing for the summer. Good deal. Compared with Ichimi Ann Bamboo Garden, some items such as Tororo Soba at Meiji Seimen is actually cheaper, but the Tempura costs more. Join waitlist on Yelp within 5 miles. Last order for lunch 2:15pm.
