Have you been attracted to the live demonstration of making the buckwheat soba
at the basement of paragon? Here, I introduce to you Shimbashi Soba.
Mugicha (Barley tea) @$1.50Free-flow. I like mugicha more than ocha. Some may dislike the taste of it because it has a taste like the tea brewed from which was displaced for a long time. Mugicha, if you drink it chilled during a hot day, I guess you will go "Aaa~~hhh~". So refreshing. Haha.
Shoukadou Set A @$23.80
Shoukadou Set B @$25.80
I chose this because of the unagi. Haha. The unagi, it was much thicker than those I ate at other places. Did they choose a fatter eel? The salmon was amari (sweet) and the fats just nice. Haha. The tempura was just alright.
Shoukadou Set C @$27.80
Chicken karage, salmon, tempura, salmon and swordfish sushi.
Chilled Soba
The lauded dish of the day. We ordered the chilled soba. You can choose soba or udon, warm or chilled. Tempura crumbs were used and I think they added taste and flavour to the soba. Yet, they did not make it oily. It was not that the soba wasn't good. It was great. It was really homemade. I mean you could really taste the difference between the homemade and machine made ones after you ate Shimbashi's. This is what Shimbashi Soba is powerful at. The skills and also the live demonstration of making the soba that made many willing to queue for it. The soba was cooked just nice, not too soggy nor hard. Dionk Dionk.
The service was very good. The waitresses are all very friendly. The captain was very friendly and she kept saying thank you even after we have walked out of the restaurant. She was all smiles. I think she deserved a thumbs up.
