We were able to park in a small amount. It's BYOB. Soba is both cold and hot. We tried the maguro natto and the natto tempura. I think the latter is not worth it. The large assorted tempura for us had 2 shrimps, 1 fish and like 4 random vegetables. They were delicious roasted but didn't feel very big. The Oshu Sushis are really good (both salmon ikura and the Makerel). But it might be cool for you. Good mood. There are also counter seats for Sashimi stoppers and tempura, if you are also interested. Enjoy!

I highly recommend going hot with cold Soba dishes, as the heat will disintegrate the noodles quickly. True soba is made with 100% buckwheat, and you can really try the difference vs store-bought soba, which is a mix of buckwheat and wheat. My favorite is the hana soba containing tons of ikura, yam and uni. Its texture could rub off those who are not familiar with grated yams, but the dish is so refreshing. You really can't go wrong with one of the dishes here. Tempura is also made exceptionally good here! I ordered the half-eals (anago) tempura and really loved her. Make sure you request a reservation! I made a Res for my big group of 8 a week in advance.

But I had to take one star off because food took 30+ minutes to arrive after ordering. Since this restaurant does not serve alcohol (byob for a fee only), we were sitting there bored waiting.
