    Overview


    Nezu Soushian is a soba restaurant located in Nezu, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo.
     The restaurant is situated approximately 3 minutes' walk from Nezu Station.
     It has a cozy atmosphere with 4 counter seats and 4 table seats.
    Being run by a couple, you can experience warm and friendly service at this establishment.
     It is particularly enjoyable to hear the wife's knowledge about sake.
     Nezu Soushian is a place that you would want to visit season after season.
    The food at this restaurant is renowned for its excellent sake accompaniments rather than the soba itself.
     The specially prepared soba with sesame topping and the batico tempura are said to be exquisite.
     The selection of Japanese sake is also impressive, with Daishichi being recommended.
    Moreover, the healthy limited lunch vegetable soba course is popular.
     It features thin but chewy soba, a perfectly balanced broth that is not overly sweet or spicy, and delicious soba water.
     Overall, it receives high satisfaction ratings.
     However, some customers felt that the vegetable sushi appetizer was visually appealing but lacked punch in flavor.
    This establishment operates on a reservation-only basis, offering only an omakase course (6000 yen + tax).
     The course starts with exquisite kaiseki-style dishes and ends with soba.
     The portions are small but the intricate preparation and perfect pairing with sake make up for it.
    Nezu Soushian places great emphasis on grinding the buckwheat in a stone mill when making soba.
     As a result, you can enjoy thin and fragrant soba.
     The soba sushi and dashimaki tamago (rolled omelette) are also highly recommended.
    In summary, Nezu Soushian is a hidden gem known for being a local favorite.
     The couple's heartfelt cooking and service are highly praised.
     We recommend you to visit at least once.
