Lunch with
my sister in Kagurazaka district, which is my old “hood”.
Kagurazaka has
an unique ambience of old-school Japan and French culture. Kagurazaka has the highest
concentration of French restaurants in Japan.
We went to a
soba restaurant, Kyorakutei, which is a short walk from Kagurazaka’s main
street. They serve handmade soba
and hiyamugi noodles.
I had
handmade hiyamugi, topped with nameko mushroom, grated daikon, etc. The noodle was at its perfection. It was so shiny and almost translucent
with nice smooth texture. One of
the best hiyamugi noodles I’ve had!
Anago and vegetable tempura was nice, too.
