Sister store to our all time favourite soba-ya and its Hiroshima honten, Itasoba Santōkō pulls all the same strings and ticks all the right boxes, with only minor variations on the theme.
Less rustic and less contemporary than the Ebisu and Hiroshima iterations, respectively, the low lit interior and dulcet tones of the jazz BGM create a cosy intimacy, despite the relatively spacious dining area.
The menu will feel familiar to any that have enjoyed the above restaurants; thick cut, flavoursome ‘ita soba’ noodles served in traditional wooden ‘itabako’ storage trays, supplemented with a variety of seasonal appetisers and sides, such as iburigakko with cream cheese, katsuo tataki ponzū, fluffy dashimaki-tamago, and deliciously light and crispy tempura selections.
As with the other Itasoba stores, Santōkō is extremely popular so queues are to be expected at peak dining times.
