This fabled soba shop once operated in Manhattan before returning home to Tokyo, bringing with it an international polish that pairs beautifully with its handmade buckwheat noodles. The rustically contemporary interior sets the mood — clean lines, natural wood, and the delicate aroma of freshly cut soba drifting from the kitchen. Order yours on a bamboo mat with tempura or delicate slices of duck, and you'll understand why soba obsessives travel across the city for this place.
