そば～じゅ
Overview
This is a creative ramen shop run by Chef Horikoshi, who has a French culinary background. The soup, based on 'Jus de Volaille' (chicken broth) made from carefully selected ingredients like Kagoshima's Kuro Satsuma-dori and Aka Satsuma-dori chickens, boasts a delicate and profound flavor. In addition to the signature Shio (salt) ramen, the weekend-only (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) 'Special' allows you to enjoy four types of meat, including duck leg confit and slow-cooked duck breast. The monthly limited-edition noodles are also popular, featuring unique bowls that incorporate French techniques, such as sea bream and shellfish soup. Please note that the ticket vending machine is in Japanese only and does not display pictures, so be careful not to mistakenly select Shoyu (soy sauce) instead of Shio (salt). This small shop has 7 counter seats and accepts cash only. It's a 3-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station.
How to Order
Here's how to order at Sobaju:
1**Before Entering (If there's a line)**
If there's a line in front of the restaurant, please join it, following other customers. Observe other customers to determine whether to purchase meal tickets before entering or after being seated. 2. **Purchase Meal Tickets / Order** Please purchase your meal tickets at the ticket machine before taking a seat. The ticket machine displays only in Japanese and does not have photos, so it's a good idea to decide your menu beforehand. Be careful not to confuse the soy sauce (醤油) and salt (塩) selection buttons. Payment is cash only. You can also choose side dishes like Khao Man Gai or white rice. 3. **Seating & Receiving** Once you are guided to an available counter seat, hand your meal ticket to a staff member. Please wait at your seat for your order to be prepared and then receive it.
