I had known about this restaurant for a while, but finally decided to check it out on a day when I wanted to try something new! The atmosphere of the soba restaurant was really nice. I always order nikujiru (meat juice) wherever I go, and it was delicious! The owner seemed to really care about the soba, which was lovely. The zaru soba came with fresh wasabi on the side, which you can also order separately. It was tasty without being too spicy! I would love to go back again. Thank you for the meal!

I have always been particular about eating 100% finely ground soba noodles, but this 80% soba was surprisingly delicious. The flavor of the soba was so good that it almost rivaled the 100% soba, with a smooth texture typical of 80% soba. The tempura batter was thin and the shrimp was large, providing a satisfying crunch. The broth had a dark color typical of Kanto-style soba, which I personally enjoy. The freshly grated wasabi served with the noodles was irresistible. The menu is simple and appealing, and the owner is very friendly, making it a wonderful restaurant that I would love to visit again and again.

There is a soba restaurant with a very dedicated owner who is particular about his soba and wasabi. Grating the wasabi yourself is enjoyable. The freshly grated wasabi has a wonderful fragrance and is not as spicy. It doesn't sting your nose at all. When you put it on hand-made soba and eat it, it's pure bliss! The tempura was also crispy and delicious. The shrimp was incredibly tasty! When I asked the owner what kind of shrimp it was, I couldn't remember because I was a bit drunk. The soba noodles were firm and chewy, the best soba noodles I've ever had. It's a small soba shop run by a couple in the neighborhood. It's a bit far from the station, but you can enjoy a nice walk while looking at the Amazon logistics center.

In the past when I was using PayPay in Ome City, I searched for a place where I could use it and found this place. There is one parking space next to the shop. It might be a bit difficult for me to park there. Maybe I'll buy a nutritional drink instead. In October 2022, there were 2 customers before me and 4 customers after me. There is a raised tatami area in the back. I ordered at the table-style counter in the front and paid afterwards. I had the "Duck Soba" for 1,400 yen (at that time). The fresh wasabi didn't come with it, but the hand-cut soba noodles were neatly arranged and had a good texture. The duck meatball in the dipping sauce was delicious. It was great to eat at a discount with PayPay. It was very delicious. Thank you for the meal.

In Ome City, Tokyo, there is a soba restaurant called Waraku Ten Seiro where you can enjoy a delicious soba for ¥1600. They also offer a unique wasabi rice bowl for ¥300. The restaurant is located along a major road, but the parking lot can be a bit hard to find, so you might pass by it. However, the hanging curtain makes it easier to spot. The soba is tasty, and the wasabi bowl has a spiciness that made me tear up a bit, but it was enjoyable!笑

I received the seating. Buckwheat tea arrived. It's unique, isn't it? I grated the wasabi and waited. It came without waiting. The soba soup and the soba cup are nice and cold. Let's start with just the soba noodles. Mmm. The thin soba noodles are cold and have a good texture! Delicious. The soup is also good, with a strong flavor. The soba water came quickly too. It seemed like a couple, they provided attentive service. Thank you for the meal.

It's already mid-November, but the warm weather out of season continues. It was almost like a summer day during the daytime. I wanted to eat soba for lunch, but I ended up working unusually, so I skipped lunch and only had a piece of GODIVA chocolate. The craving for soba continued until the evening, so I had to eat before I could settle down. There is a soba restaurant on the way from Ome Kaido to JR Kosaku Station. It's a house-like restaurant with a soba atmosphere that I had been checking out for a while. I secured the only parking space and entered the restaurant. They grind their own flour with a stone mill, as indicated on the sign outside, and there is a noodle-making area next to the entrance. Almost without looking, I ordered the "tenseiro" cold soba (1600 yen), which came with grated wasabi on a sharkskin board. When I rubbed the board, the aroma of wasabi spread quickly, and I took a bite. The spiciness comes first, but then the sweetness follows. It's so good that it could go well with "Sawanoy" sake. As I enjoyed my solo dining, the "tenseiro" arrived. First, I slurped up one serving as it is. The flavor of the soba is a bit weak, probably a mix of 20% buckwheat and 80% wheat (actually it seems to be external). However, it has a good edge and a refreshing throat sensation. The tempura included enoki mushrooms, bell peppers, shiso leaves, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, eggplants, and shrimp, with matcha salt on the side. The shrimp was unexpectedly thick, which made me happy. Lastly, the soba broth. Huh? It's almost transparent. I actually prefer it to be more cloudy, but I guess the water must be very clean, considering the quality of the wasabi. Maybe that's why there are many famous soba restaurants in Ome. I'll try to walk around and explore more next summer.

I drove through the rain to have dinner. I was able to park my car in the empty parking lot next to the restaurant and went inside. It had been over 10 years since I last visited this place when it first opened. I sat at a table that was still there, but this time facing the opposite direction. I heard from a colleague that both the soba noodles and oyakodon were delicious, so I had a hard time deciding which to order. But since it had been a while, I chose the cold soba noodles. First, they served me freshly grated wasabi from Okutama. I was asked to wait while I grated the wasabi. When the noodles arrived, they were neatly cut. I tried the soba noodles on their own first. They had a nice aroma. Then I dipped them in the soba dipping sauce. The sauce was slightly spicy and refreshing. I then tried putting wasabi and green onions on the noodles, and it was a delightful experience. I don't usually eat wasabi, but it surprisingly complemented the soba noodles well. It was a new discovery for me! The soba noodles after a long time were delicious. After the meal, I had some soba broth. At first, I had it plain, then I added wasabi to the second cup. It was delicious!! Thank you for the meal.

I went on a business trip and stopped by this cozy soba restaurant for lunch. I ordered the Duck Soba for 1000 yen, as I wanted something a bit luxurious but easy on the stomach. I'm not a big fan of duck, but I love the dipping sauce that comes with it. I made a deal with a colleague who loves duck, so I ordered it for them to enjoy. The soba noodles were flavorful and had a nice texture, and the dipping sauce was rich and delicious. My colleague tried the Soba Gaki and said it was delicious too.

The broth was delicious and I drank it all. There is only one parking space next to the restaurant.

I ordered the duck hot pot, but I could hear the sound of someone grating wasabi from the table behind me! I should have ordered the hot pot instead! I will definitely come back again!

Lunch I occasionally drive past this restaurant, but this was my first time going in. There is a parking lot next to the shop, which seemed to fit two cars, but I couldn't park properly so I ended up parking in the middle. It was cold and I wanted to try the new soba, so I decided to order the Niku-Jiru Soba for 900 yen. Since I wasn't sure about the portion size, I didn't opt for the extra 150 yen for a large serving. The soba noodles were thin and the portion size was average, with a slightly white color and not the greenish tint of new soba. However, when I tried it, there was a faint aroma of soba. The soba flour was labeled as being from Hokkaido's Mashu soba, but even the Mashu soba I had in Sayama had a subtle aroma. The Niku-Jiru had plenty of pork belly and green onions, which made me quite happy. The white and finely chopped green onions in the Niku-Jiru, along with the condiments, added a nice touch to the dish. The hot dipping sauce was rich in color and flavor. When the soba noodles soaked too much in the sauce, they became a bit too soft and salty. It was delicious enough to dip the soba noodles halfway into the sauce. I later diluted the dipping sauce with soba water, but it still had a slightly strong flavor. The restaurant is only in its third year, run by a young couple perhaps, and the interior was clean and had a fresh feel to it. The background music included the sounds of a koto, flute, or shakuhachi, and the sound of the water in the basin was also pleasant to hear.

Yesterday, on a slightly warm Saturday afternoon, I had a casual lunch at a soba restaurant called "Waraku" that I found on my way from Shin-Ōme Kaidō to Kosaku Station. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere and menu. I learned that there is a proper way to eat soba that I didn't know about before. While waiting for my soba, I grated fresh wasabi on shark skin. The locally sourced wasabi had a nice aroma. I ordered the large serving of cold soba for 900 yen. The soba was made from stone-ground buckwheat flour and had a glossy appearance. It had a good texture and aroma that stimulated my appetite. Next time, I want to try the warm soba. It was delicious. Waraku is located at 8-20-9 Shinmachi, Ome City. They are closed on Tuesdays.

This is "Waraku," a soba restaurant located behind the Volks Ome store in Shinmachi, Ome City. It has been open for about 5 years now, run by a young couple. The interior of the restaurant is non-smoking, allowing guests to enjoy the aroma of soba. They serve soba tea as well. Today, I ordered the "Tenseiro" soba. They provide a sharkskin grater and fresh wasabi for you to grate yourself. The tempura portion was generous, leaving me feeling full. The soba portion was also quite substantial. The flavor of the soba was delicious, with a strong aroma and a smooth texture. "Waraku" in Shinmachi, Ome City.

After moving to a new place, my husband wanted to visit this restaurant, so we went. The owner was very friendly. The restaurant was full around 1:30 pm, so we had to wait for a while before being seated in a tatami room. We ordered the mixed tempura. While waiting, we were served shark skin grated radish, bamboo shoots, and wasabi. It was my first time seeing bamboo shoots. The tempura was crispy and delicious. The soba had a nice aroma and tasted good, but it felt slightly overcooked. It might have been because it was a busy time. I prefer firmer noodles, so that's how I felt. Maybe it's just the local style. I have visited three soba restaurants in this area, and all three had noodles lacking in firmness. Maybe I'm influenced by my image of soba restaurants in Tsurumi. Overall, the meal was enjoyable.

This time, I would like to write about Waraku in Ome City. I visited this place before moving, so it's quite an old story. I didn't have high expectations, as all the restaurants in Ome are usually packed on weekends. There are not many options for families to dine in. So, reluctantly, I ended up going to this place, which had just opened at the time. The interior of the restaurant was clean and the music wasn't bad either. It was surprising for a place next to a folk music venue. I ordered zaru soba and oyakodon. At that time, they also had hanawa (flower rings) on the menu. But they seemed more like something you would order with your sports club buddies. It made me lose my appetite, but I told myself not to rush. I was just hungry. Before the zaru soba arrived, they brought me a whole wasabi root and a grater. I was surprised by the attention to detail. When the zaru soba arrived, I couldn't believe how delicious it was. The soba had a good fragrance and you could taste the handcrafted quality. The dipping sauce was also fragrant and tasty. And then, the oyakodon. After trying the soba, I had some expectations, but the oyakodon exceeded them. To be honest, I was shocked. I'll admit it now. I underestimated this place. I'm sorry. Ome has many restaurants with great locations, but in terms of taste, Waraku is unbeatable. I would love to come back for their soba and oyakodon.

Large portion size.
