Recently, I noticed that the score has been rapidly increasing, so I decided to make a reservation at a place where the wine is selected by a former sommelier of Cantessance, in addition to being produced by Yamayuki and the former chef of Kyomi. I decided to dive in and chose a la carte (available on Saturdays and late weekdays). The place was almost full when I arrived, but I was warmly welcomed and ordered a glass of champagne. The wine list was impressive, with a variety of options at Azabu prices. I chose a Richard Cheurlin, Carte Or, Brut champagne and a Louis Jadot, Marsannay, 2015 Burgundy. For the food, I selected young corn, conger eel tempura, and today's tuna as starters, followed by grilled throat blackthroat, and for the finish, I ordered both regular soba and uni soba. The champagne paired well with the variety of dishes, while the red wine matched perfectly with the regular soba. The soba broth was light with a strong umami flavor, making it a great match with the red wine. The tuna was delicious, but I felt it could have been saved for later to pair better with the wine. There are still many dishes I want to try, and I look forward to coming back. The wine selection was excellent, especially the champagne, which added to the enjoyment of choosing a la carte. The experience of pairing wine with soba was a dream come true for me, especially with the soba made by a former chef from Kyomi. Overall, I would give a score of 4.4, but in my heart, it's a perfect 5. The bill came to around 22,000 yen, which I found reasonable, although the portion sizes were slightly small. However, it added to the soba shop-like atmosphere of the place.
