For my friend's birthday, we met for lunch at Shingen, a traditional Japanese restaurant specializing in housemade soba. They make their soba out of buckwheat flour imported from Shintoku, Hokkaido.
Two of us ordered the Special Combo, which consists of udon or soba (hot or cold) + choice of mini-donburi (natto-don, ten-don, ahi-poke don, hiroo-don, gyu-don). We opted for the cold soba with ahi-poke don. We were given a generous serving of soba, with a small portion of ahi-poke. It was a perfect combination.
For dessert we tried the soba-andagi, which was made with buckwheat flour. It was OK, but I prefer the taste and texture of regular andagi.
