I was invited by two lovely Yelpers to join them for some soba on a rainy Tuesday night. One of my companions took heaps of photos so stay tuned!
The owner, a former 'salaryman' who immigrated to Canada, does not have a shop of his own. Rather, he rents out the spaces of other establishments to sell his product. I remember when you could order his soba from Nakamura Bakery at J-Town. He now sets up shop at Ichiriki on Tuesday evenings.
I ordered the Chef's Omakase (leaving it up to chef), which was $20 even. You get three bowls of soba (buckwheat noodles) with various topping.
Bowl 1 - Tororo (Japanese yam)
Bowl 2 - Snow crab w wasabi and green onion
Bowl 3 - Tofu w green onion
Was not a fan of 1, but 2 and 3 were good.
The menu is not extensive and there is nothing warm on the menu... I would have been happy if there was warm tempura soba on the menu. Overall not too shabby of a place. I think I enjoyed the company more than anything. ;]
