It just happened to be lunchtime, and I’d taken a wrong turn, so I figured “this place will do!” and walked in.
I was absolutely starving, so I ordered the “tempura and buckwheat noodles over rice with a side of chilled noodles.”
“Sorry, we’re out of hand-cut noodles at the moment, so it’ll be country-style buckwheat noodles.”
I went ahead with that order and waited a bit.
“Sir, the country-style buckwheat noodles are ready, but we’ve just finished making fresh hand-cut noodles.”
“What would you prefer?”
“Really? Then I’ll go with the fresh hand-cut, please.”
The staff was very clear and responsive—a really pleasant place.
There’s a window where you can see the craftsman constantly making buckwheat noodles.
