I am not a connoisseur of soba, so my review may not be helpful. I had a choice between matcha soba and white soba. I chose matcha soba and the tempura was warm, making me feel like it was "properly made," but maybe that's expected? Personally, I would have liked some cucumber, but it was very delicious! The soba was a good value. Thank you for the meal.

You... even though you claim to have conquered all of Sapporo, there are still a few places you haven't visited yet! So, with a sigh, I decided to visit. - Mori Soba: 560 yen This is what you would call a white soba with a lot of binder, with a high water content for a chewy texture. It effectively delivers the refreshing taste and smoothness that are important for this type of soba. It shines even more when paired with toppings or rice. The broth is light and slightly sweet, catering to a wide range of tastes. It's easy to eat. However, in terms of portion size, it's not particularly large for this type of restaurant. According to the middle-aged men wandering around this area, it's packed during lunchtime, so it's a convenient "soba restaurant" for a meal. The service is friendly and good!

Recently, I've been eating too much at night gatherings, so I need to give my stomach a rest. I was thinking of skipping lunch, but I found a long-established soba restaurant in Higashi-ku, Sapporo, so I decided to visit. They had a choice of soba with tea, so I ordered the kashiwa soba! The other members ordered the regular soba and the curry nanban. I didn't really taste the pepper flavor, but it's good for giving my tired stomach a rest. The curry nanban wasn't too heavy, it had a light and sweet taste typical of a soba restaurant!

During a midday break at work, I noticed a chain-like design of a soba restaurant and decided to step in. It was quite crowded, so I wondered if it was a popular local spot. Checking on Tabelog, it seemed to be a well-known place. The menu was extensive, offering soba dishes, rice bowl sets, and more. I ordered the seasonal recommendation, which was a tempura rice bowl set. It came with two prawn tempura, red pepper tempura, pickled ginger tempura, and fish cake tempura. The tempura sauce was not the usual sweet type but a savory one, which I personally enjoyed. The soba noodles were served cold, with a choice of white or buckwheat noodles, and the dipping sauce was light and well-balanced. The portion was generous, and I left feeling satisfied. They also provided cold water, warm soba tea, and soba broth. I looked it up and found out there are no other branches, which is a shame as I would love to come back and try more dishes. It's also convenient that they accept PayPay. Thank you for the meal!

Mori soba is asked whether you want white soba, brown soba, or new soba, and without hesitation, I chose the new soba and added honey-ginger soba broth. The honey-ginger soba broth seeps into the chilled body, providing a comforting warmth. It may seem a bit pricey at 70 yen, but it was a welcomed treat in the snowy season. The new soba is a brand established with the cooperation of farmers from Kobetsu-sawa and contracted farmers from Shinotsu. The binder wheat flour used is a 20% blend of Hokkaido-grown Yumechakara, creating a chewy texture with a slightly superior wheat flavor. The short, unevenly cut soba noodles were initially concerning, but the variation in texture was noticeable, with some noodles sticking together. The broth had a subtle impact, with a balanced flavor profile and a hint of bonito flakes. Personally, I felt that the soba was better enjoyed on its own, but adding salt might also be a good option, although improvements in the aforementioned areas should take priority. The soba broth, served in a regular cup instead of a traditional yunomi or tokkuri, was enjoyed after sipping on the honey-ginger soba broth. Mixing it with the broth, I didn't feel the full potential of the broth's flavor. Overall rating: 3.1 Taste: 3.1 Service: 3.3 Atmosphere: 3.4 Cost performance: 3.3 Drinks: 3.2 Location: Shirobei Kitajūrokō Higashi 1-chome 3-1, Higashi-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido. ☆☆☆ Next Episode Preview ☆☆☆ I suddenly become curious about the honey-ginger soba broth.

First visit to Shirobei. The interior is surprisingly spacious, seems like even taxi drivers come here. The menu is extensive and relatively affordable. I had the vegetable tempura soba for 1130 yen. The tempura was generous and the soba had a nice tea flavor. It's great for a hot day. The soba broth was also delicious. They had honey soba broth for 70 yen, not sure about that though.

The restaurant offers a wide variety of set menus, including special dishes like sashimi and rice bowls. The parking lot surrounding the store makes it convenient for salespeople to grab lunch. I came in wanting to try their tea soba, but ended up ordering a premium option due to the enticing description. However, when the soba arrived, it was a bit disappointing as it seemed they were running low on stock. It seems most customers here are just looking for a quick meal. It would be nice if they focused on providing high-quality soba, even if they have to limit the quantity. Despite this, many regular customers continue to enjoy the set menu options, especially the rice bowls. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

The restaurant is located along Ichome Street, on the south side of North 26th Street intersection. There are a few parking spaces in front or on the side of the store. The interior is unique, with a large table that can seat about 10 people serving as a counter. There are also table seats and raised tatami seats. I visited on a holiday Monday at 6 pm, with 4 customers already seated and 2 more coming in later. The phone was ringing constantly, indicating they also offer takeout. I ordered the Pork Cutlet Rice Bowl Set with green tea soba noodles. The set includes a choice of soba noodles: Shirohie Soba or green tea soba, served hot or cold. The pork cutlet was not too hard, with egg, onions, a bit of shiitake mushrooms, and mitsuba. The broth of the soba was not too salty, with smooth noodles. The meal also came with pickles, salad, and soba water. The kitchen seemed busy, but the atmosphere was relaxed and quiet, allowing for a leisurely dining experience. I will definitely come back. -- Update -- Last order is now at 8:30 pm starting from October 2019.

I visited the restaurant for lunch. It's a place I often pass by and was curious about. It's always crowded at lunchtime and has a wide variety of menu options. This time, I ordered the "Chicken Skin Seiro Soba in Large Size". The dipping sauce is filled with plenty of leeks and chicken. It looks really delicious. The soba noodles are tasty. When dipped in the sauce, it tastes amazing!! The large size was just the right amount. I would like to visit this soba restaurant again. One thing that caught my attention was a customer who ordered an extra-large size of soba. The amount of soba was huge (^^;; Maybe it's a special way of ordering for regular customers? Thank you for the meal٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

One summer day, I visited Shirobei Kitajujo store. Actually, maybe it's better not to include the "Kitajujo" part in the name. It gives off a bad impression that chain stores are not delicious. Unlike ramen or gyudon chain stores, when it comes to soba, both the customers and the eatery itself have a certain obsession. In the case of Totoron, people expect deliciousness just from the atmosphere and ambiance. Considering the location and parking availability, it wouldn't be surprising if the place was packed with customers. But just based on the name, I always imagined it to be just a standing soba shop and passed by many times. Due to work constraints, I became a lunch refugee and finally decided to visit this place. The interior is quite spacious with a traditional soba shop vibe. Oh, it's just a regular soba shop, isn't it? I tried the "cold zaru soba" for 680 yen. The portion was a bit small, but for 680 yen, the cost performance is not bad at all. And the taste was surprisingly good. I think when it comes to soba, the appearance and name of the restaurant play a significant role. There are various preferences and obsessions when it comes to soba, such as the type of soba or the unique characteristics of each shop.

This is a review of a soba restaurant located along the old Ishikari Street in Higashi-ku, Sapporo. The reviewer had known about the restaurant's existence for a while but had never visited until this day. They visited for lunch in the late afternoon due to their plans running longer than expected. They decided to order the mixed soba set which included both regular soba and green tea soba. The soba had a smooth texture and a good mouthfeel, with the green tea soba leaving a slight tea aroma in the aftertaste. The dipping sauce was light and easy to enjoy. The portion size was decent, and the restaurant's long opening hours and ample parking make it a convenient option for a quick and satisfying meal.

During lunchtime, I found a soba restaurant a little north of the ones with full parking lots. I discovered that there was plenty of parking around the restaurant. The interior was surprisingly spacious with a large table in the middle that could seat about 10 people. The menu had a wide variety of options. Since it was hot today, I wanted something cold. I decided on the "hiyakashi" cold soba. I also noticed the "toriten" (chicken tempura) standing tall in the menu photos. I was worried it might be too much, but I ordered it anyway. When it arrived, there were only two small pieces of toriten. I thought it was just right since I was worried about not being able to finish it all. I tried to pour the dipping sauce over the soba, but there was a lot of moisture under the noodles. It turned out to be water or maybe the moisture from grated radish. I poured all the dipping sauce into it, and it turned out to be "hiyakake" cold soba. The table was sticky, and the waitress didn't respond when called. The neighboring table had to call her five times. The soba broth was the only decent thing. I wonder what would happen if I poured soba broth after the water under the noodles. There was no fragrance, and it looked like "white turbid water," not a hot spring. I won't be revisiting this place.

The other day, I found this shop when I visited Zuzuki. I went to the Shiraito branch but couldn't eat the "kishimen" I was looking for, so I came to the main store for a rematch. Oh my, the main store is having a "cutlet fair". This shop has a lot of menu items, so it's hard to choose. However, my body is in "kishimen" mode, so let's give up on the cutlet!! There are a total of nine types of "kishimen" here. The one I was curious about and ordered was the "toriten kishimen". The toriten kishimen costs 740 yen and comes with 4 pieces of toriten, mitsuba, and bonito flakes. The toriten is made with firm chicken meat, providing a satisfying texture. The broth is lightly flavored. It feels slightly weak in dashi, but the bonito flakes help cover it up. The kishimen itself is quite thin and has a strong flimsy texture. Overall, I enjoyed it.

I visited a restaurant that I had been curious about for a while, and the timing was right for me to stop by. The parking lot is located around the store. Inside, there are table seats and a raised seating area in the back. The background music playing is enka songs. On this day, I decided to try the recommended dishes for autumn and winter from the menu, but suddenly the curry caught my eye. So, I ordered the "Spicy Pork Curry (800 yen)" and also added the "Matcha Soba (+200 yen)" since I remembered that it was a soba restaurant. During my visit, the phone for takeout orders rang quite frequently. The curry arrived after a few other orders, and it looked quite substantial. The curry emitted a spicy aroma. When I took a bite, I was surprised by how spicy it was! It wasn't just hot, but it had a distinctive flavor of garam masala or cumin, giving it a rough texture with diced pork pieces, which was a type of curry I hadn't encountered often before. Next, the soba was the "Matcha Soba," with a subtle tea flavor, but with a firm texture, and the dipping sauce was on the sweeter side. The meal also came with a salad, and I finished with a warm soba broth with a thick layer settled at the bottom. Despite the bustling atmosphere with takeout orders and dine-in customers, I noticed some unique menu items that seemed different from other restaurants, and I would like to revisit to confirm the soba's texture. Thank you for the meal.

I always order delivery from this restaurant. Even though I call during the busiest lunch hour, they always provide polite service. When I call around 12:30, they say it will take about 40 to 50 minutes, but it usually arrives in about 30 minutes. The portion size is also quite good. They always bring coupons, so I always use them. Thank you for your service, and I will continue to order from you in the future.
