Tamago maki
Ita soba
Tempura of sardines, scallops, paprika and aubergine
No visit to Hiroshima feels complete without lunch at the honten of our favourite Tokyo soba-ya, Itasoba Kaoriya.
Although the Hiroshima iteration eschews the rustic ‘an’ (庵) aesthetic of the Ebisu store for a more contemporary interior, and apart from some variations and omissions in the menu, for the most part all will feel pleasingly familiar to anyone who has enjoyed Kaoriya’s fragrant, al dente ‘ita soba’ buckwheat noodles.
Customer service is also noticeably evolved, with staff quickly agreeing to swap out shrimp tempura for something else due to an allergy; an accommodation the Ebisu team always refuse.
