Taste sake and snacks while dining on soba. Think of the culture of the soba shop, the beloved essence of Edo popular culture, plunked down near Nishi-Azabu Intersection for the modern generation to enjoy, and you have the atmosphere of Osobano Kouga. Evenings bring prix fixe presentations that encourage you to linger over cups of sake. Tensui, tempura soba with the soba removed, is an old-timey snack. Soba in season and appetisers of vegetable or fish of the day are a delight.
