Came here for a late lunch to try the noodles that I did not try on my last visit.I have been here quite a few times and was surprised that I had to give it a negative review this time.Since it was lunchtime, the lunch sets were posted on the entrance but as I was specifically here to try something on the A la carte menu I asked if the al la Carte menu was still available and I got this extremely rude reply from the receptionist:"WHAT"so I repeated myself, do you serve the a la carte menu as wel
I have been here quite a few times and was surprised that I had to give it a negative review this time.
Since it was lunchtime, the lunch sets were posted on the entrance but as I was specifically here to try something on the A la carte menu I asked if the al la Carte menu was still available and I got this extremely rude reply from the receptionist:
"WHAT"
so I repeated myself, do you serve the a la carte menu as well?
Then there was this disgruntled WHAT AGAIN?
So OK, perhaps she doesn't understand ENGLISH so I said "MENU" instead of a la Carte and she finally understood.
Anyway, finally sat down and ordered the noodles which took ages to come, while I was waiting, one of the waitresses came over and asked if I needed anything else because they were taking their last orders.
I would rather they chase up my current order instead of prompting me if I needed anything else and perhaps the late arrival of my food was a punishment because the receptionist was irritated.

Soba trio:
Basically there were three different sobas, from left to right: Inaka Sobas, Shiretoko Zarusoba, and Sarashina.My favourite was the Shiretoko Zarusoba (green), the Sarashina soba itself was salty without the dipping broth and the Inaka Soba was too al-dente and tasteless.

Soba soup:
It was my first time trying this soup so I did not know what to expect but I was expecting it to be refreshing according to the previous reviews, but the yuzi taste was not refreshing at all, I could only taste yuzu peel.However the boiled soba taste was strong.

Overall, I would only recommend the Chilled sarashina sesame soba with natto and Chilled Shiretoko Zarusoba with sesame and black garlic oil sauce.
