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.
 |
| Ten-Tama Soba 530 yen (#1 recommended) soba topped w/ vegetable tempura & half-boiled egg |
 |
| So good |
 |
| 4 items on menu |

Drinking Spot in Shinjuku. Walked passed by and decided to try their Seafood Tower Don. Actual food was very different from the picture. Hokkaido-inspired Uji Matcha Hi drink was good. Uni was as dark as Kani Miso, but taste was ok. Sashimi is not their strong point. Maybe fried food better. Seemed to be a popular spot. 24 hours. Walk-in ok.
