I succumb to Japanese buckwheat soba noodles without putting up any resistance. Call it my weakness!! There are many types of noodles available in Japan – many of them are not known outside of Japan as they are really restricted as regional dishes. Wish I could try out all of them one day as well. I remember having some really gorgeous rice noodles in Japan that are served with Medicinal soup bases, or really great Soba noodles in Fukui in Japan. Kurotaki in Hong Kong is the only curren

I succumb to Japanese buckwheat soba noodles without putting up any resistance. Call it my weakness!! There are many types of noodles available in Japan – many of them are not known outside of Japan as they are really restricted as regional dishes. Wish I could try out all of them one day as well. I remember having some really gorgeous rice noodles in Japan that are served with Medicinal soup bases, or really great Soba noodles in Fukui in Japan. Kurotaki in Hong Kong is the only current Soba shop which grinds the buckwheats and extrude their own soba noodles from in-house, what exclusivity! My last visit to here was only ok but in need of more attention Kurotaki (I), but since it was during their new openings I once again emphasize that I will always give any place the benefit of the doubt, just because I know kitchens always take time to synchronize to their full potential properly and this will take months to get on top of their game. This time around, I was much more impressed in the taste at their soba and hope I could do them justice in the end anyway. *Note: This shop also belongs to the Pokka Group HK, which also runs the Tonkichi which I had just reviewed prior to this.

 更科 Sarashina, 抹茶 Maccha, 田舎 Inaka Sobas Trio – $88
Made in house. The noodles were definitely more tastier than before, so was the dipping broth. The al dente texture was spot-on during this occasion. So addictive. Just wished it had a better fresh grated wasabi. ~ 8.5/10

 Soba Soup 湯桶のそば湯 -
The Soba Yu soup was better also this time, filled with boiled soba taste and fresh yuzu refreshing taste. The original dipping broth was a bit stingy on proportions though.

******************************
I love Soba noodles so much. 之前已經是寫過了, 但後來是有進步的。 最少這晚點到的還不錯
