Do you know an organization called the Edo Soba Rie Association? We are engaged in various activities as a non-profit organization, so-called NPO.
Above all, there is a program called "Edo Soba Rie" certification, and many soba lovers challenge each year. I did my best a few years ago.
One of the qualification requirements is to "visit a lot of soba shops and report their taste, the atmosphere and characteristics of the shop." I visit various shops, but there are many famous soba shops in Chuo-ku, so there was no need to go out, so I was able to visit many shops in the city.
Humanly, when you become "Soba Rie", you will be surprised that there are many friends in Chuo-ku, and more specifically, there are so many people who like soba. I was able to get a lot of new encounters through soba. Above all, soba is a Japanese taste that continues along with sushi, tempura, and eel as a food culture of Edo. In recent years, the number of young soba craftsmen has increased, and I sometimes come into contact with the appearance of working on soba with new sensibilities. I feel it's a deep food.
As I wrote earlier, there are many famous soba shops in Chuo Ward. Each of you will have a favorite store. It's also fun to change your mood depending on the day and visit various shops. I would like to explore the charm of Chuo-ku while introducing my recommended shops.
Today, I would like to introduce "Akizuki-an Tanakaya" in Ginza. It is a safe shop located in an alley near Yasuaki Elementary School. Not only the soba is delicious, but also the casual atmosphere of the store, the staff's quick handling of customers, and the selection of sake and appetizers are attractive. And what's good, they're open on Sunday too. It's the best oasis to stop by when you want to rest and relax between shopping.
Of course, on the evening of weekdays, it is best to visit this shop through the dark streets, licking little bits of sake, and having a tight soba after having a satisfying taste with a friendly appetizer.
In the middle of Tokyo, this shop is close to the back alleys of one of Japan's leading downtown areas, and it is an "adult place" that embodies urban culture. Please visit again between "Silver Bra".
