Before heading to the overall restaurant, I wanted to grab something light to eat and found a place near the station. I thought it was a standing soba shop, but there were tables and a long counter in the back, so I decided to use a table seat since it was available. I ordered the Yuba Sansai Soba for ¥640 (tax included). The soba was served in a large bowl, similar to a donburi. There was less yuba than I expected, but considering the recent price hikes, it was understandable. The soba was cooked firm, rinsed with cold water to give it a nice texture, and went down smoothly. The amount of mountain vegetables was just right. I finished it in no time. I prefer fresh yuba, but this one was dried, so it might be good to soak it in the soba broth for a while to soften it.

Near the Yotsuya-Sanchome station on the Marunouchi Line, there is a standing soba shop. I visited on a weekday morning and bought a meal ticket from the machine. I purchased a breakfast set ticket for morning soba with fish flakes, egg, and rice for 460 yen. The shop uses a number calling system, so I waited for my turn. The interior had standing and seated tables, with a stylish wood decor and piano music playing. When my soba was ready, it came with fish flakes, egg, and grated yam. Surprisingly, the soba noodles lacked firmness and were soft, perhaps boiled noodles. The broth was light and flavorful. Overall, it was a unique and mysterious soba experience at this shop.

My wife and I visited the restaurant as she came to town to watch our son's stage performance. She's only here to see the show and will head back home right after. Every time my wife visits, she enjoys eating soba noodles. Although we have passed by this restaurant many times before, the beautiful interior and delicious soba noodles made it stand out among others. I usually only go to standing soba noodle shops early in the morning or after drinking, so I was grateful to find a delicious restaurant. Thank you for the meal. We will definitely visit again.

Before going to a restaurant with all-you-can-drink sake, it is important to have a meal beforehand to prevent getting too drunk on an empty stomach. This particular restaurant is like a standing soba shop, but they also have tables and chairs where you can sit down and enjoy your meal. The atmosphere is calm with quiet music playing in the background, making it a nice place to relax. You can buy meal tickets from a vending machine, and your order will be ready when your number is called. The interior is clean and slightly dimly lit, giving off a nice vibe. I ordered the tempura soba, and the tempura was crispy and delicious. The soba noodles were cold and served on a chilled plate, which was a nice touch. The noodles had a good texture and were tasty. Overall, it's a good place to enjoy soba and relax. I would definitely visit this restaurant again, especially before heading to a sake all-you-can-drink place.

I'm now at Yotsuya 3-chome. Soba set meal for 390 yen. This shop is located at the intersection of Yotsuya 3-chome! I've always been curious about this place and have always wanted to go someday. By chance, feeling unwell from a hangover and could only eat soba, so I stopped by (crying). As I imagined, half portion of noodles with weak side dishes like small dried fish rice. Quite stretched out grated yam (crying). For this price, I guess the taste is unavoidable. But with this, I won't be visiting again.

There was a soba restaurant at the intersection of Yotsuya 3-chome. I wonder when it was opened. It was still very clean and spacious inside. Once you order from the ticket machine, your order is placed. There was a counter in the front and plenty of table seats in the back, which was quite different from the image of a standing soba shop. I decided to try the zaru soba. It had a decent firmness and I think it's on the better side for a standing soba place. I believe even a woman dining alone would feel comfortable eating here.

It's Thursday night. I'm in Yotsuya Sanchome. After having a good time at an izakaya in Araki-cho, I feel like I need to get rid of the lingering tempura oil in my mouth. I want something with vinegar, like hiyashi chuka... I couldn't find a Chinese restaurant in the area, so I ended up at a clean soba restaurant on the corner near Yotsuya Sanchome station. It has more of a station soba vibe than a town soba feel, but I decided to order zaru soba to wash away the tempura oil. I used the ticket machine on the right hand side as I entered, ordered zaru soba, and waited a few minutes. The frozen noodles were similar to those in a company cafeteria, but that didn't bother me at all, especially for 400 yen. There were table seats at the back, but I found it easier to sit at the counter near the entrance. It was convenient and good. I'm sure it's satisfying the lunch cravings of the office workers in Yotsuya. I finished my meal in a few minutes and said, "Thank you for the meal."

I tried the tororo natto soba that many people were ordering. It costs 790 yen for a regular size, with an additional 30 yen for a large size. It comes with watercress, shiso leaves, pickled radish, seaweed, tempura flakes, tororo (grated yam), okra, natto, and raw egg, so it takes some time to prepare. The taste is delicious, of course! It's a refreshing soba that gives you energy on hot and humid days. I also enjoyed the soba broth, which was satisfying. Today, the soba was a bit sweeter than usual, but it's usually served chilled and refreshing.

Soba Restaurant Curry Set A soba restaurant located at the intersection of Yotsuya 3-chome. The exterior is chic with a black base, and the interior is stylish (you can stand and eat or sit back and relax). The soba has a sweet broth as its feature, with a rich flavor that suggests a well-extracted dashi. The soba itself has a slight firmness and a smooth texture. The curry is surprisingly authentic, with noticeable spices, but the sweetness of the broth is well balanced. The pork belly slices are a nice touch. A step above other standing soba places, this place exceeds expectations.

I personally like it! It's a good option for a quick and cost-effective soba meal. However, I'm not sure if I would recommend it to soba enthusiasts. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is elegant and very nice, but the wooden board under the soba is made of plastic and looks cheap, and the dishes are simple. It feels like they clearly cut costs in some areas while trying to maintain a sense of luxury in others. It operates like a fast-food restaurant, where you buy a meal ticket from a vending machine, wait for your number to be called, and pick up your order yourself. The tempura is freshly fried, which is a plus, but it reminded me more of home-cooked tempura than the delicious tempura you would expect from a soba restaurant. When I first started eating, it was easy to eat and tasty, but as I noticed these cheap aspects and paid more attention to the soba flavor, it felt more like a fast-food soba restaurant. However, I personally like being able to easily and affordably enjoy soba, so I would like to go back again. Tempura soba for 760 yen.

A shop located at the intersection of Yotsuya 3-chome. You buy from a ticket machine and wait to be called. Even before 2 o'clock during Golden Week, it was quite crowded. Mini tendon set for 830 yen with shrimp tempura, pumpkin, eggplant, and shiso leaves. The freshly fried tempura was delicious. The soba noodles also had a nice texture and were tasty.

The cold nori tempura soba for 530 yen was delicious. I found this restaurant while passing by. It's a standing-eating style place, but clean and neat. The portion size was a bit small, but the taste was good. It was my first time seeing this restaurant, but I wish there was one near my workplace.

Tempura soba for 550 yen. It was right in front of me as I came out of the subway. The atmosphere was intriguing and I couldn't help but be drawn in. The shop had a luxurious feel, not like your typical stand-up soba shop. They also had set meals, but I decided to try just the tempura soba. The tempura was freshly fried and the soba freshly boiled. The space was relaxed and I didn't have to wait long. The tempura was light and crispy, with onions, carrots, and sakura shrimp. It paired well with the light broth. The soba was firm and delicious. It may be a bit pricier than other stand-up soba shops, but the quality is worth it. A good option for a quick meal near Yotsuya-Sanchome station when you're short on time.

Yotsuya 3-chome, 0 minutes. A great location right outside the station. I had lost track of when to visit because it was a place you could go to anytime, and the next day after drinking too much, I wanted something gentle on my stomach. I ended up choosing udon without much thought, even though it was actually a soba restaurant. I quietly ate the udon I had chosen. The image of standing soba is usually buying a ticket and waiting for your order to be ready right away, but here it was different. They asked me to wait at a table. It felt kind of new. The food arrived in about 5 minutes. It was udon with tempura, but the tempura seemed a bit lacking. It didn't quite feel like the standing soba experience, maybe it's a different genre. Overall, it was a decent meal.

Located at the corner of Yotsuya Sanchome intersection, opposite the Fire Museum, this restaurant is very convenient as it is close to the station. There is a standing counter, but there is also a counter where you can sit further inside. The interior is stylish and doesn't quite feel like a soba restaurant. The soba broth is a bit strong, but quite delicious. I look forward to using this place often in the future.

There is a soba restaurant located at a corner of the intersection where Yotsuya-Sanchome Station is. It has a beautiful exterior and a unique atmosphere that somehow feels both affordable and a little bit upscale. It seems to be operated by Japan Restaurant System. I have visited other brands operated by Japan Restaurant System such as Tamago to Watashi, Hoshino Coffee, and Goemon. Now, they have merged with Doutor Coffee to form "Doutor Japan Restaurant Holdings," so Doutor is also considered a related store. The menu includes "kake" soba for 370 yen, with the highest price being 750 yen, which is just slightly more expensive than standing soba shops. I am curious about the 630 yen curry at the soba shop. However, since it is my first visit, I decide to go with soba. They also offer udon. The state-of-the-art ticket machine does not have a clear list of the menu, which I do not particularly like. However, it may be beneficial for foreign customers to choose while looking at the pictures. The ticket purchased from the state-of-the-art machine does not need to be handed over. It automatically notifies the kitchen. When the order is ready, they will call your name. The spacious interior extends towards the back. One of the characteristics is the various types of seating available. There are counter seats in the front where you can stand and eat. Towards the back of the counter, on the left, there are box seats similar to family restaurants. On the right, there are semi-counter tables separated by tall walls. Towards the back, there are single-side chairs and sofa-like seats. The variety of seating options is impressive. I arrived at 3:00 pm, and there were only about three other customers. Seasonings, chopsticks, and shichimi are placed at the receiving counter. On the table, there are only paper napkins, chopsticks, and shichimi. They seem to encourage customers to use the table space widely. Since it is operated by Japan Restaurant System, they have thought of everything. I was called after a 5-minute wait. There was a sign outside stating that "all tempura is freshly fried." Therefore, it may take a little time after ordering to fry. However, it only took 5 minutes. Soba with Nori Tempura (500 yen) + Large Size (120 yen) I love the spring chrysanthemum tempura, which was not available, so I chose the closest option, Nori Tempura. The Nori Tempura was certainly freshly fried. It was in excellent condition. Literally crispy. The flavor of the seaweed was lovely. The quality is outstanding for 500 yen for a regular size. Unfortunately, when you get a large size, the soba fills the bowl completely. Although the large size is 120 yen, it would be great if they could add plenty of broth for 150 yen or 170 yen. The tempura absorbs the broth, causing the broth to decrease, and it starts to resemble mixed soba. The broth is light in color, unlike the dark soba broth commonly seen in Tokyo. It has a sweet flavor. The soba is white and on the softer side. It doesn't give the feeling of authentic soba, but it is well done. The portion is decent when you get a large size. The restaurant is like a mix between a casual soba shop and a standing soba shop. The prices are slightly towards the standing soba shop, and the taste is slightly towards the casual soba shop. The atmosphere is a mix of both. It would have been even better if there was more broth. Please note that even though the restaurant is clean and self-service, you need to clear your own dishes. Many people seem to forget about this. === [Order] Nori Tempura Soba 500 yen Large Size 120 yen

I had soba noodles for afternoon tea! I came across this place the day before as I was leaving the hotel to go to the subway station. When I was spending time around Yotsuya-Sanchome, I decided to stop by. It has a much more stylish atmosphere than it looks from the outside (and more than I expected). I can't provide specific analysis, but it was simply delicious. I would love to visit again when passing by this area.

It is a standing soba style restaurant, but the soba is stylish enough to sit down and enjoy. I happened to stop by when I went to Tokyo-do to buy New Year decorations. I was surprised by how high the level of the tempura was. It surpasses the tempura of high-end soba restaurants. The only downside is that the tempura absorbs the broth quickly, leaving little broth for the soba, making it difficult to enjoy the noodles. I would be happy if they served the tempura separately. Next time, I will try the separate serving of cold soba.

It's been a while since I visited the local restaurant "Imai". It belongs to the same group as Doutor Coffee. There are other restaurants in the area like Gogoemon spaghetti, Hoshino Coffee, and Oslo Coffee, all owned by the same company. It's interesting to see how the neighborhood has changed over the years. In the past, there used to be a cluster of takoyaki shops like Gindaco in this area. Now, there are seasonal menu banners outside the restaurants. In summer, they offer cold soba with tomatoes and eggplants. In autumn, warm soba with mushrooms. And in winter, they have dishes like ankake, curry, and nabeyaki udon. The variety of options, including oyster soba, is quite appealing. The nabeyaki udon is reasonably priced at 750 yen, and the oyster soba is also priced the same. I was intrigued by the unique name of the dish "Oyster and Kujo Negi Butter Soy Sauce Stir-fried Bokkake Soba" and decided to order it. The kitchen smelled of burnt butter as the dish was being prepared. Soon, it was ready. The soba was generously topped with ingredients - two oysters in the center, along with bacon, shimeji mushrooms, Kujo negi, all stir-fried in butter. The dish was garnished with tenkasu and shredded seaweed. It almost felt like a Western-style pasta dish, rather than traditional Japanese soba. The oysters were not large but had a good flavor and a pleasant texture. They were likely steamed and frozen before being cooked with butter. The dish was well thought out and offered at a reasonable price of 750 yen. The noodles were firm with a satisfying chewy texture. The soba flavor was subtle, allowing the toppings to shine. The sauce was slightly sweet with a gentle acidity, making it enjoyable with every bite. The combination of butter and soba was surprisingly harmonious, enhancing the flavors of the bacon and other ingredients. It was an interesting and delicious discovery. As I was enjoying the soba, a piece of cooked turnip rolled out from the noodles. It was also cooked in butter, yet it retained its juicy and fruity core. Lastly, I diluted the remaining sauce with soba broth and found it surprisingly tasty with a buttery flavor. It was a delightful experience of exploring new flavors.

I visited a warm soba restaurant during the delicious season. It is located near Yotsuya-Sanchome Station, with the Fire Museum nearby. The atmosphere is relaxed, with kids waving to police officers near the station. The entrance is a bit narrow, with a menu displayed outside. They offer a breakfast set, but I opted for regular soba instead of the carb-heavy option. I was considering the kitsune soba, but went for the seasonal mushroom soba. After purchasing a ticket from the machine at the entrance, I was asked to wait in a chair. The kitchen seemed to be connected to the ticket machine. Inside, there were single counter seats and tables for 2-4 people. I got my own water and sat down. When I looked up at the panel displaying numbers, my order was called out normally. The soba had a slightly firm texture with a flavorful mushroom broth, grated radish, and probably tempura crumbs. It was a rich and satisfying meal on a chilly day. Thank you for the meal.
