From 9/26, perhaps due to the slight drop in outside temperature or maybe because I spent a long time at McDonald's, my lower back started to ache from the coldness in my legs. I decided to warm up my body by visiting a nearby public bath with a hot spring that I have been going to since a few days ago. On my way back, I felt like eating something good for my body, so I decided to try out a place called "Yabukatsu" where I could use the premium product vouchers from Ota Ward. I was curious about their "Assorted Fish Set Meal" for 1050 yen, which includes two types of fish. Today's set included salmon and mackerel, which I love. The grilled salmon was savory and the miso-grilled mackerel was delicious. The side dishes included sautéed eggplant, bell pepper, and bamboo shoots with miso dressing. The miso soup with tofu, green onions, and seaweed was comforting and tasty. The salad bar offered a refreshing mix of lettuce, watercress, diced tomatoes, edamame, and dressing. The rice was chewy and tasty, prompting me to get a second serving. Overall, the meal was satisfying and I found myself wanting to come back again.

On September 13, 2023 (Wednesday) around 11:45 AM, I entered the store. On this day, I was invited to lunch by my company and asked if there was a good restaurant in the Kojiya Station area. I recommended "Yabukatsu" to them. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was calm, and the clientele was relatively older. However, the prices were not that high. I ordered the "Grilled Mackerel Teriyaki Set Meal (1,050 yen)" and "Miso Soup with Soba (200 yen)". Here, the rice is brown rice and you can get free refills. The brown rice here is really delicious. The food was served in about 15 minutes. Since the cooking starts after the order is placed, you may have to wait a bit depending on the time. But the food is delicious. The mackerel was tender with no bones, seasoned just right, and the brown rice was very tasty. The side dishes were also delicious without any shortcuts. The soba was a bit firm, but if you prefer it softer, they will accommodate your request. It's been a while since I had such delicious food. Thank you for the meal.

"Lunch limited offer: Chewy brown rice, fish and meat lover's set meal. The brown rice lunch starts at 1,050 yen and is very reasonable. For an additional 200 yen, you can change the miso soup to soba noodles. There are several types of marinated fish available, and they change daily, but all of them are delicious. The tonkatsu is also popular, with its sweet and salty sauce that will keep you coming back for more. I have been here multiple times and the duck soba and tempura are also excellent! They serve alcohol in the evening, so be sure to finish with some soba noodles."

When it gets hot, I crave cold soba noodles. The name of the restaurant has changed, but it seems similar to before. They have added lunch sets with grilled fish and meat rolls, but I decided to order soba noodles because of the weather. I got a combination of 80% buckwheat soba and 100% buckwheat soba. The 100% buckwheat soba was thick, firm, and had a satisfying chewy texture. It doesn't use any binding agent, which is why it looks like this. Personally, I prefer the 80% buckwheat soba because it's thinner and smoother to eat, but I enjoyed being able to try both. Thank you for the meal.

I arrived at the restaurant "Yabukatsu" in Kojiya around 11:40 am on April 25, 2023, after riding my bicycle. I remembered the restaurant I wanted to go to just before reaching the station, and decided to visit "Yabukatsu" instead. I think it used to be called Hisana before. It seems like they changed the name of the restaurant. It had a slightly intimidating atmosphere (seemed expensive), but I knew from the menu outside that the lunch prices were reasonable, so I went inside. I was seated at the counter, and I ordered the "Chef's choice of 2 types of fish set meal (1,050 yen)" with a +200 yen upgrade to change the miso soup to soba. I also asked for a large portion of brown rice. The food was served in 20 minutes. It seemed like it was cooked after I ordered, not pre-made. It may be more suitable for those who have time to spare, but it's better to enjoy delicious food, right? It's not an efficiency-focused restaurant. The atmosphere of the restaurant matched the food well. First, I tried the sesame salt-coated brown rice - it was chewy and delicious. The portion of rice was around 200g for a large serving. Then I tried the salmon - it was soft and the flesh easily fell apart. There was no soy sauce, but the salt seasoning was just right. The hokke fish was also soft and easy to eat, boneless. The soba was firm with a sharp edge. It was boiled firm, maybe because it was cold, but the texture was solid and refreshing. The soba dipping sauce was also well-balanced. The salad had a sauce that I think was called Aurora sauce - I really like this flavor. I'm not sure about the name though. Most of the lunches around this area are usually under 1,000 yen, so "Yabukatsu" is a bit on the higher side, but it's worth it for the peaceful dining experience. I was able to calmly organize my thoughts for the afternoon work ahead. Thank you for the meal.

I went to "Yabukatsu" near Kojiya Station in Ota-ku, Tokyo. I ordered the "Fish and Meat Lover's Set Meal" because I wanted to eat both grilled fish and meat. It was a delicious set meal that made me wish I could have this kind of dinner every day!

Near Kojiya Station, I had a job that started early in the morning, so I decided to have lunch earlier than usual based on a recommendation from my colleagues. It was my first visit to this place. The interior had counter seats and box seats, creating a nice and relaxing atmosphere. They offered set meals and chef's choice lunches, but I decided to go with the soba noodles. Since I was hungry, I ordered hot soba and a mini oyakodon. The soba noodles had a slightly rich broth, which I really enjoyed. The mini oyakodon had a good amount of volume, and by the time I finished both the soba and the rice bowl, I was completely full.

I had known about this restaurant for a while, but I finally found its location recently and decided to stop by. I usually order the mixed tempura soba, so I ordered it again today. It came with 2 shrimp and 4 different vegetables - green chili pepper, eggplant, pumpkin, and chrysanthemum greens. I particularly liked the sweet and tender pumpkin the most. Personally, I preferred mushrooms over chrysanthemum greens. The stone-ground soba had a wonderful aroma as always. The soba tea had a great fragrance, and the soba soup was rich and delicious. Next time, I want to try the freshly fried tempura with salt, so I will ask for salt when I order.

I finally found a great Japanese set meal restaurant called "O-Soba-san". They offer several types of Japanese set meals, with brown rice as the default option. The photo shows a set meal with fish and meat. They started serving brown rice set meals since May this year. It comes with three small side dishes. The seaweed tsukudani was very delicious. The flavors are not extraordinary, but everything is simply delicious and has a home-cooked taste. The salmon was cooked with butter. The music playing in the background by Humbert Humbert was a perfect match. It's a hidden gem near Kamata area. Even though it's right by Kojiya station, it was not crowded. I think it will become popular in the future.

First of all... the name of the restaurant was different, so after searching and researching (^_^;), I found out that on May 9, 2022, a soba restaurant that was originally there had reopened. It is now called "Yabukatsu" based on the curtain photo. I found it on Retty as "Soba and Genmai Yabukatsu." I have already requested the change on the Tabelog side. I have been in my current job for almost six months now, and it is my first time in this industry (^_^;). I don't have any qualifications, and there are many things I don't know, so I have been exploring and learning a lot. In the midst of receiving guidance and feedback, a senior colleague who had been strict but affectionate with me decided to resign. It was so sudden that my heart couldn't keep up, and I felt a void. When I exchanged contact information with a former colleague and continued to maintain a relationship, we happened to meet up. They suggested that we have dinner together as women, and they took me to a restaurant they recommended. They knew about my illness and suggested we eat something good for the body and not too burdensome, so they took me to "Yabukatsu." The restaurant had a warm and inviting atmosphere with a nice wooden interior. The menu featured various cold and hot soba dishes, as well as healthy and delicious brown rice set meals. I was tempted by the brown rice set meals priced from 1050 yen, which were available even in the evening. Although I was originally thinking of ordering soba, I had already eaten "tororo soba (with natto)" for lunch, so I was drawn to the chewy texture of the brown rice. I was impressed by the vegetable and meat roll set meal priced at 1200 yen, which my companion recommended. I ordered the vegetable and meat roll set meal and also decided to try the soba tea, as it was said to be good for the body. After chatting and receiving a gift, the set meal arrived. It looked incredibly delicious and satisfying. The main plate included side dishes and salad, with stir-fried vegetables, shredded dried radish, a dashi rolled omelette, and a salad with lettuce, onion, watercress, broccoli, and tomato. The two types of vegetable and meat rolls were accompanied by eggplant and pumpkin slices wrapped in pork with a teriyaki-like seasoning. The thick-cut fried tofu in the small dish had a gentle flavor, and the chewy and plump brown rice with a sprinkle of sesame salt on top was delightful. The miso soup was comforting, with plenty of ingredients like enoki mushrooms, wakame seaweed, and tofu. It was delicious, and I enjoyed eating it all.

I had a good result from my blood test! As soon as I left the clinic, I was like, "I need carbs in my body! No, I want carbs in my body!" My body was really craving it. I walked out of my favorite clinic and ended up at the neighboring soba restaurant. I had used this place for a drinking party a long time ago. They offer soba with their lunch set! The staff recommended it too! But I really wanted to eat soba! I ordered the "Nisshoku Soba Mori" (two-colored soba) and it was delicious! It was made with a mix of 20% and 80% buckwheat flour. It was so good! Next time, I'll definitely order soba with my set meal.

There were no other customers at 11:45 on a regular day. The interior of the restaurant had a sophisticated atmosphere with counter seats and table seats. I ordered the two-color soba with extra noodles (1310 yen) as there was no lunch menu available. Both types of soba had a distinct flavor and a firm texture. They were both delicious. I thought it would be nice if they had a lunch menu with better deals.

I had been curious about this place for a while, so I decided to visit for lunch. It's located near Kojiya Station, where the residential area begins. The sign outside is modest, making it hard to gauge the size of the place or whether it can accommodate large bags. I had hesitated to enter before due to these concerns. But today, without any bags and for lunch, I decided to give it a try. Upon entering, I was surprised by the spacious interior that was not visible from the street. There were about four tables for four people each. I came for soba, but when I saw the menu, I couldn't resist ordering the "Nabe Yakisoba." Despite it being spring, the sun was high, and it wasn't exactly the season for hotpot dishes, but the interior was cool thanks to the air conditioning. The "Nabe Yakisoba" arrived in a hot pot, simmering away. The broth was delicious, with chicken, fish cake, shiitake mushrooms, mochi, egg, and tempura shrimp. The tempura shrimp also added a nice flavor to the broth. The noodles had a good chewy texture but were quite long and difficult to handle while still hot. It was a bit challenging to transfer them to the bowl to cool down. The dish was generously filled with ingredients and a decent portion of noodles. Despite the heat, I enjoyed the dish until the end. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Before having soba noodles, I had a light snack of grilled chicken. I ordered the herring soba noodles and cold soba noodles. At first, I couldn't find the herring on the herring soba noodles, but upon closer inspection, I found it slightly buried. The dish was visually appealing with pieces of wheat gluten sprinkled throughout, and the taste was decent.

I stopped by for a quick drink and was a bit disappointed that they had run out of draft beer and only had bottled beer available. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was very calming. I tried the soba noodles, which were a mix of thin soba and country-style soba. The soba flavor was a bit weak in my opinion.

Near Keikyu Airport Line Kojiya Station, there is a soba restaurant. Checking on Tabelog, it seems to have a good atmosphere. However, there haven't been any reviews for 2 and a half years. I wonder what happened. Is it still in business? While worrying about it, oh, the shop curtain is out. It's just about lunchtime on a weekday. No other customers. It's very quiet. The interior has a nice cozy atmosphere with dim lighting. Looks promising. There is a 3-color soba set that seems interesting. Let's go with that! - 3-color soba set (1,130 yen; tax included) The set includes regular soba, inaka soba, and gozen soba all on one tray. Let's start with the gozen soba. It's morekusa soba, but not completely white. It's a bit thin but surprisingly has a good texture. It's firmer than expected. You can dip it in the broth a bit more than usual. The broth doesn't have any sharp flavors, which is nice. The soba is a mix of 20% bran and 80% flour. It has a nice aroma and texture. It looks smooth, but it's also a bit firm. It's not too slippery, more of a chewy type. I thought the inaka soba would be stronger, but it's not. It also has a nice aroma and texture. It has a solid bite, but not too difficult to eat. The soba broth is not too intense, just normal. Overall, it's a type of soba that makes you eat it properly. It's not outstanding, but it's a nice way to enjoy soba. It's so quiet here. Only one more group came in later. I wonder if the evening is a bit busier. Sorry for the unnecessary comment. Thank you for the meal.

I tried the recommended set meal from last time. It included two types of fish, barley rice, and miso soup served with cold soba noodles. It was delicious! During lunchtime, the restaurant seems to have quite a few customers. It's because the food is so tasty. By the way, you can have free refills of rice.

Oyster soba. 1600 yen. It was advertised as plump, but not quite... However, it was delicious.

I ordered tempura soba at a local soba restaurant to have for New Year's Eve. The atmosphere of the restaurant was stylish, and the soba and tempura were delicious.

You can relax in a calm atmosphere inside the restaurant. The warm soba noodles come in a generous portion.
