It has been hot recently, so I've been bringing my own lunch to work, but since it has cooled down a bit, I decided to go to Yanagawa-ya near my office! It's been about a month since I last visited, so I had a hard time deciding what to order, but I ended up choosing the ramen and motsu-ni set, which is the best value at the restaurant. The ramen is a simple soy sauce flavor, and the motsu-ni is simmered in a sweet and savory sauce, perfect with rice! While the bento boxes are delicious, eating at the restaurant is definitely better. The ramen was delicious, thank you for the meal!

In the summer, I found it difficult to leave the office for lunch, so I would usually just eat my bento box. However, I was invited by my friends to Soba restaurant Yanagawa-ya! My friends ordered Tanmen, a hot dish for hot weather, while I opted for Zaru Kishimen because I prefer something refreshing in the heat. The texture of the noodles was different from soba or udon, and it was just perfect for a hot summer day! It had a firm chewiness and was very satisfying. Eating bento is nice, but it's also great to visit a soba restaurant once in a while. Thank you for the meal!

Today's lunch was at the nearby soba restaurant, Yagyu-ke. It was so hot and exhausting, so I aimed to power up with the curry set! The yellow curry with thickened sauce, unique to soba restaurants, is different from the curry you would have at home or at a curry specialty shop. The cold dipping sauce with plenty of green onions added to the soba was perfect for this hot weather! It went down smoothly and was just right for this season! Thank you for the meal!

For lunch today, I went to Yanagawa-ya near the office! I decided to visit after always ordering one-coin bentos recently. Despite the humid and hot weather, I chose the Curry Nanban set because I like eating hot food when it's hot outside. The curry, with its unique soba flavor, was very delicious! I put the pork from the Curry Nanban on top of half rice to make a Curry Pork Bowl and enjoyed it. It had been a while since I last had it, but I finished every last drop. Thank you for the meal!

Today's lunch was at Yanagawa-ke, located right behind the company. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. They offer set meals with various combinations, and today I ordered Stamina Soba with half rice. It was my first time in a while, and the dish consisted of beef stir-fried in a special sauce, daikon radish, and plenty of seaweed. The special sauce beef paired perfectly with the rice, and I am now full from a satisfying lunch. Another delicious meal of soba, thank you!

Today it was raining from the morning. I had to work in the cold, so I decided to warm up by eating curry nanban at my usual place, Yanagawa-ke. The curry nanban soba I had after a long time was warming and delicious as always. The thick soup goes well with the white rice! Thank you for the delicious meal that warmed me up today too!

On my first visit, I had curry nanshan. The second time, I tried the ramen. Today, in the afternoon of May 8th, I had the zaru soba. The dipping sauce was more on the sweet side rather than the typical "salty and spicy" style found in traditional Tokyo soba shops. The soba noodles seemed to be homemade and I thoroughly enjoyed them cold. Thank you for the meal.

Today's lunch was at Yanagawa-ke near the office again! I ordered my usual off-menu dish, the beef bowl with cold soba set. The broth of the beef bowl is indescribably delicious. I never get tired of eating it, it's so tasty. Another delicious lunch today, thank you!

In the evening, feeling hungry, I decided to drop by this cozy place where regular customers were enjoying drinks while watching baseball on TV or reading newspapers. It was my first time at this restaurant. I was considering ordering the zaru soba, but decided to go for the adventurous curry nanban instead. The curry had a strong thick texture, and the soba had a good chewiness to it. The broth was not too overpowering, but still delicious. The dish came with 3-4 pieces of hand-cut pork, and I also added a raw egg for an extra 50 yen. The restaurant is located a bit off the main street, but it seems to be popular. The atmosphere among customers and staff was warm and welcoming, even to a first-time visitor like me. When I couldn't find the restroom, a customer kindly directed me outside and to the left. If I lived nearby, I would definitely become a regular here. Despite being close to my workplace, I hadn't had the chance to visit before. Thank you for the meal, I will definitely come back again.

Today's lunch was at Yagawa-ke, a soba restaurant in Tobu Nerima! It's convenient being close to the office, but I always end up going there because I crave their off-menu juicy meat bowl. This time, I tried their zaru soba set for the first time. I usually go for ramen, but zaru soba was surprisingly good too! There are so many different combinations to try, so I'm thinking of trying a new one next time. Thank you for the delicious meal today!

Today's lunch was at Yanagawa-ya near the office! I chose the set menu with the most volume, which included a meat bowl and ramen! I know it's the same thing I always say, but the broth at this soba restaurant really makes any dish delicious! The old-fashioned soy sauce ramen also paired well with the meat bowl! I ate a bit too much for lunch today (laughs). Thank you for the meal!

Today's lunch was at my usual favorite restaurant, Yanagawa-ya in Tobu Nerima. I ordered the curry and ramen set, which I hadn't had in a while! The curry rice at this soba restaurant has a rich broth and a thick sauce that is uniquely delicious. The ramen here is also a traditional soy sauce ramen, light and very tasty. I might have eaten a bit too much delicious food today (laughs). Thank you for another delicious meal!

Today's lunch was also at Yanagawa-ya! I ordered the off-menu meat bowl set, which I haven't had in a while. The meat bowl is made with pork belly, onions, and eggs, seasoned with a sweet broth, and it's very delicious! Since it was cold, the warm soba in the set was perfect. The set comes with both cold soba and can be switched to ramen. It's easy for anyone to enjoy, so if you have the chance, try the meat bowl! Thank you for the meal today.

Today's lunch was at Yanagawa-ya near the office with 7 work colleagues. I was a little hungry, so I ordered the pork cutlet bowl set! I chose cold soba noodles as the side dish. The set had a decent amount of food and was very satisfying. The pork cutlet bowl at a soba restaurant always has a sweet broth that is very delicious! It was a very satisfying lunch! Thank you for the meal today as well.

Today's lunch was also at Yanagawa-ya near the office! I felt like eating vegetables, so I ordered half rice with tanmen. As you can see in the photo, there are plenty of various vegetables, and the salt and pepper are well seasoned, making it very delicious. Although it's a soba shop, their Chinese noodles are also delicious. Thank you for the meal today!

Today's lunch was at Yanagawa-ke near the office. Since it was a warm day, I ordered the chilled Stamina Ramen! On top of the soba noodles, there was plenty of grilled beef, along with lots of lettuce and other toppings. The soba noodles combined with the sweetness of the soba dipping sauce and beef sauce were very delicious. It's full of stamina! Thank you for the meal again today.

Today's lunch was at Yanagawa-ya near the office. I had the seasonal limited edition Oyster Nanban Soba, which will end at the end of this month! It had three Hiroshima oysters in it, and the oyster-flavored soup was perfect for a cold day! Additionally, there was a hidden taste of yuzu, which added a nice accent. Thank you for the meal!

Today's lunch was at Yanagawa-ke near the office. Although it's a soba restaurant, I always go for their ramen because it's so delicious. The simmered dish is also well-cooked and very tender. The set menu is affordable, and I'm completely satisfied with this set for 900 yen! Thanks for the delicious meal again today!

The ordered items were Katsudon and a mini soba. The Katsudon at a soba restaurant is really delicious. The dashi flavor is unique to a soba restaurant, I think. The soba was served cold, which I thought was appropriate for this season, and it was deliciously cool. It's nice to have soba from a local restaurant once in a while. It seems that there used to be as many soba restaurants in town as convenience stores.

I had lunch at Yanagawa-ke, which is about a 10-minute walk from Tobu Nerima Station. It's close to my office, so I often go there! They stir-fry beef yakiniku and put it on stamina soba. It comes with half a serving of rice, which goes well with it. Thanks for the delicious meal today!
