Soba restaurant "Soba-mae" is located on the B2F of the Moyuk SAPPORO commercial building in Chuo-ku, Sapporo, along Ekimae-dori where there is an aquarium. It is a new concept restaurant under the Ginza Lion group, focusing on soba and drinks. They use Hokkaido-made soba flour, make the noodles in-house, and claim to be additive-free. During my visit on the last day of a 3-day weekend around 12 pm, the restaurant was quite busy but I was able to enter without waiting due to the flow of customers to the Autumn Fest. Upon entering, I noticed a counter seating area in a "Co" shape, with one-liter sake bottles displayed on the counter. About 80% of the table seats were occupied by couples and families. The menu ordering system is through a touch panel with easy-to-understand pictures. They mainly offer sake from Hokkaido breweries and simple appetizers like plate wasabi, chilled tofu, and salt. The menu structure includes bottled beer, classic beer, chilled tofu, burdock tempura, and mixed more-soba with wasabi. I started with a bottled beer as it was a bit humid in Sapporo that day. I ordered chilled tofu and burdock tempura as appetizers, but they were served before my drink, which was a bit odd. The chilled tofu was made of firm cotton tofu with a ginger and green onion topping. The burdock tempura was thinly sliced and served hot with salt. The main dish, a mix of more-soba with wasabi, was disappointing. The color of the soba noodles was too light and lacked the traditional flavor. The soba broth was also on the light side, although it had a subtle bonito flavor without the usual Hokkaido sweetness. The condiments included wasabi, green onions, and mountain wasabi, which was difficult to grate. Overall, the meal was average and suitable for a casual drink with warm soba as a finish rather than cold soba.

Even with many customers, the staff were polite and the food was served quickly after ordering. The Ai Mori mountain wasabi soba for 968 yen was excellent. The mountain wasabi was the kind you grate yourself, so you can adjust the amount to your liking. It goes really well with soba. When I asked for soba-yu, the staff brought it to me right away.

Soba Mae is a newly opened soba restaurant located in the promising commercial facility Moyukusapporo. This soba shop is the first soba concept store opened by the Ginza Lion Group, which operates multiple restaurants, and I am excited because this group always maintains a high level of quality. The entrance is wide and easy to enter, and the inside is quite spacious and open. It seems like they put a lot of effort into creating a vibrant atmosphere, including the positioning and visibility of the kitchen. The restaurant offers a variety of small dishes that are not bound by a particular style, and the standard soba menu is also available. They use locally sourced soba noodles, offering both Inaka and Sarashina varieties. The official website states that they provide "freshly made and boiled" soba noodles. Some of the menu items include: - Assorted mountain wasabi soba: 803 yen - Sapporo Lager beer (bottle): 748 yen - Otoshi (appetizer): 330 yen The color of the soba noodles may vary depending on the camera used, but compared to the photos from previous reviewers, the Inaka soba noodles appear lighter in color. The white soba noodles are similar to those found in typical large chain stores, while the Inaka (slightly coarse flour) noodles have a flat texture that I personally do not prefer. However, they have made efforts to create a good balance of firmness and flavor. The highlight was the dipping sauce, which had a rich flavor and a medium thickness, making it stand out as a delicious sauce. However, the mountain wasabi was difficult to grate, and there are areas that need improvement. Overall, the restaurant carefully calculates and provides dishes and flavors to cater to various customer demographics in this large commercial building, showcasing the expertise of the Ginza Lion Group. The concept of enjoying "soba mae" (appetizers before eating soba) is enjoyable, serving as an introductory experience while also offering a full-fledged soba mae experience that adheres to the traditional Edo-style aesthetics. Enjoying sake and soba without being bound by rules is also wonderful. So, first, enjoy sake and soba! Taking a break at a soba restaurant... this is sophisticated, meaningful, and cool.

First time visiting "Watashi Moyuku, Anata Moyuku". Started by going to the Sony Store on the 3rd floor to meet aibo. Met a white aibo and a black 2023 Espresso Edition aibo. They were even cuter in person than on YouTube. I really want to have one. Arrived at the store on Saturday at 4:30 pm, had to wait for about 10 minutes for the store to open. No customers before us, around 20 customers came in after us. The store is spacious, so there were still plenty of seats available. We were seated at a table for 4 even though there were only 2 of us. There were no paper menus, only tablets. Luckily, we had looked at the paper menu at the entrance while waiting. Started with a Sapporo Black Label medium draft beer for 638 yen. Cheers! The appetizer (330 yen) was simmered herring, which was soft and delicious without any bones bothering us. We also ordered a selection of 5 appetizers for 1738 yen. Two of the selections were chef's choice, which included simmered dried daikon radish. The other three selections we chose were pickled wasabi leaves, fried chicken (2 pieces), and soba salad. All were perfect dishes to go with alcohol. We also had beer refills and enjoyed some buckwheat shochu called Naki Usagi on the rocks for 605 yen. We chatted while enjoying the food and drinks. We stayed for 2 hours and the total bill for the two of us was 6,193 yen. Let's go to another place next!

Soba restaurant, or rather a soba izakaya. It's a new Sapporo-based store with a trendy Tokyo-like design. You order using an iPad, and the staff are all new so be kind to them. You can choose between Inaka soba or Soba noodles, and also between cold or hot. I prefer Inaka soba, but the Soba noodles my companion shared were tastier. The Inaka soba was too strong and bitter for my liking. I recommend the Soba noodles. The vegetable tempura was delicious. The sake menu might be limited during the day, so I want to check it out at night. It's a bit annoying that you have to order Soba broth separately, as I feel hesitant to call a staff member just for that. I'd like to try it out at night as well.

It's bustling here, Moyuku! I chose this restaurant because the tables were away from the aisle, so I thought I could enjoy my meal slowly. Lots of female customers! The soba noodles were chewy. The tempura had a thick batter. The staff seemed tired.

The restaurant has opened. It seems like a perfect place for drinking alcohol. I sat at the counter and started with a beer. Then I ordered cold tofu and fried chicken. The cold tofu arrived first, followed by the fried chicken and a small appetizer. It seems like they are still figuring things out. The concept is good for enjoying adult drinks, but it feels a bit unsettled. I think it might be better to wait a bit longer before coming back to fully enjoy it.

I wanted to go to Moyuku Soba first, but they open at 5 pm and there was already a line before opening, so I decided not to wait. Since it wasn't too crowded that day, I decided to go in. Inside, there were 5 staff members working in the spacious kitchen on the left side as soon as you enter. There is a narrow counter and box seats in the back, catering to various preferences. I started with some drinks and appetizers: draft beer (580 yen), wasabi-pickled cod roe (350 yen), grilled salmon belly (580 yen), raw rabbit meat (550 yen), mixed soba with mountain wasabi (730 yen), special junmai sake (450 yen), and a small dish of pickles (330 yen). Although there were options for a 5-item sake pairing or a 5-item sashimi platter, I wanted to try the soba, so I ordered cod roe and salmon belly. The cod roe had just the right amount of mountain wasabi flavor, and the salmon belly was delicious. After enjoying the rabbit meat, it was time for the soba - a combination of country-style and moreka soba. I had to shave the mountain wasabi myself, which took some time and caused the soba to dry out a bit. It would have been nice if they had brought the shaved mountain wasabi earlier. Despite that, the soba was tasty. The special junmai sake from Kochi was crisp and delicious. Overall, it was a satisfying meal, and I look forward to trying their homemade soba again.

The newly opened restaurant was crowded, but we didn't have to wait long to get in. The rice was delicious as expected, but the soba was just average. The tempura had a noticeable burnt taste and bitterness. Unfortunately, there was no soba-yu (soba dipping broth) available. Maybe I'll visit again when it's less busy to give it another try.

I entered the restaurant as soon as it opened. It was crowded, so it took a while for the food to be ready. The soba was delicious, but it seemed like it wasn't washed well, probably due to the large number of customers. The tempura was tasty. The rice was lightly seasoned. I didn't order it, but adding a side dish might have been nice. The menu may be different for lunch and dinner, but the sake was locally produced. I will visit again when it's less busy.

Popular Moyukusapporo located on the 2nd floor underground in Sapporo. There are many seats and the turnover is good, so even if you wait in line, you will be seated quickly. Today, I compared Shinano and Inaka soba. I grated the mountain wasabi that came with it and put it on the soba, slurp slurp - delicious! In terms of personal preference, Shinano goes well with mountain wasabi, while Inaka soba tastes good with regular wasabi. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I visited the pre-opening of the building "MOYUK SAPPORO" at the corner of South 2nd Street and West 3rd Street, Tanukikoji, where the promising urban-style aquarium "AOAO SAPPORO" is newly established on the 4th to 6th floors. Unfortunately, I couldn't stop to eat this time. The entrance fee varies depending on the season, but on this day it was 2,200 yen for adults, half price for children. There are about 10 food and beverage outlets on the 1st and basement 2nd floors. The one I visited was "Mamezara Cuisine and Sake Sobamae moyuk Sapporo Store" operated by Sapporo Beer Group's Hokkaido Sapporo Lion. It was introduced as an "out-of-state company" in TV media, but both "Sapporo Beer" and "Lion" have moved their headquarters to Tokyo, so they are now respectable companies from Honshu. Shortly after the start of the evening business at around 4:30 pm, it was a large-scale operation with 86 seats (official site disclosed value) and a large number of staff, with 10 in the kitchen and 6 on the floor. It seemed a bit too enthusiastic for a "Lion" project in Hokkaido after a long time. All menu browsing and ordering are done through tablets. The food menu is extensive, focusing on soba as well as sake appetizers served on mamezara plates and sweets, emphasizing the concept of "sobamae" as the store name suggests. Even the beverages are well stocked with national brands of sake and shochu. I ordered the "Assorted Soba @880" and it was served in about 7 minutes. The tray included two types of soba, wasabi, chopped green onions, mountain wasabi, grater, soy sauce decanter, sake cup, and chopsticks. The mountain wasabi is self-grated, and although grating it yourself is a bit of a hassle, the freshly grated one has a good aroma and a sharp flavor, making it delicious. The two types of soba, "Inaka" and "Sarashina," were chilled and had a firm texture with a strong elasticity, although the fragrance was weak, they were sufficiently tasty. The soy sauce was a flavorful dipping sauce that complemented the soba well, and when poured over the soba, the aroma gently rose, making it twice as delicious. It was a finished product that made you feel the aggressive attitude of a large company. However, I noticed that despite the large number of staff, the floor service was somewhat negligent, and the soba-yu (soba dipping sauce) was not served unless requested, and even when I pressed the "call staff" button on the tablet, I did not receive a smooth response, and the preparation of the soba-yu was done in a rushed manner. However, it may be that the service is not yet established during the pre-opening period. It is a restaurant where you would want to take your time and enjoy the "sobamae," but it is likely to be very crowded for a while after the grand opening. I will visit again when things have settled down. Thank you for the meal.

Tanuki Koji has opened a new building, Moyuku, on the underground 2nd floor food and beverage floor. It is a soba and sake restaurant run by Sapporo Beer's Lion. Having already eaten Chinese food, my stomach was almost full (^^ゞ but I thought I could handle some light soba, so I went to the front of the restaurant. The signboard leaned against the entrance of the restaurant seemed to be the recommended menu, with the "Aimori Yam Wasabi Soba 730 (tax included 803)" (*^^*) Two-colored soba looks delicious, and the cost performance is also good. It seemed a bit elegant in terms of volume, but since it was the second stop, I thought it was just right (*^^*) So the second meal was decided here~♪ The dipping sauce is basically rich and delicious, but maybe the soup stock is weak because the seasoning is strong. Personally, I think it's delicious. The soba is a combination of white Sara and country soba. The taste of the soba itself, I prefer the country soba over Sara, but the compatibility with the sauce is better with Sara, I think? It seems like they are promoting the mountain wasabi, but unfortunately, you can't grate mountain wasabi with a sharkskin grater (^_^;) I tried for a while, but I got tired of it, so I gave up (tears). As I mentioned earlier, if you are going to have a light soba lunch, this place is recommended (*^^*)

I happened to pass by during the pre-opening and decided to go in. The restaurant has a large dining area in the basement. They assured me that it was okay to just have a meal even at night. Orders were placed using a touch panel at the table. I noticed a variety of side dishes displayed on the counter. I chose the mixed soba noodles with grated mountain wasabi (803 yen), which was a combination of country-style and more than usual soba noodles. The menu indicated that the noodles were made from 100% local flour and freshly made in-house. The soba dipping sauce was on the richer side, reminiscent of Edo-style with a strong bonito flavor, which I personally enjoyed. The soba noodles were easy to eat and delicious! I wish I had ordered the larger portion. Grated mountain wasabi was provided for self-grating, adding a nice flavor. The soba broth was clear and mild in taste. The price for the quality and portion size was reasonable. The seating at the counter provided a good view and the atmosphere was pleasant. I will definitely visit again! Thank you for the meal! Opening date is July 20th, and I was able to enter by adding moyuku as a LINE friend.

The restaurant was busy but the staff were polite and the food was served quickly after ordering. I had the Ai Mori Yam Wasabi Soba for 968 yen. The grated wasabi was a nice touch as I could adjust the amount to my liking. The combination of yam and wasabi was perfect! When I asked for soba water, the staff quickly brought it to me and it was delicious ☺️
