Sagara — Local services in Tokyo

We walked into Sagara on a Saturday without a reservation and were pleasantly surprised to be seated right away. The staff were very attentive and welcoming from the moment we arrived. They patiently helped us navigate the menu and even showed us how to properly enjoy soba with the different spices and sauces, which really added to the experience!

We ordered the soba set, duck soba and tempura, and both were absolutely delicious. The soba was perfectly cooked and flavorful, and the tempura was delicious. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared and authentic.

When we left, we were laughing and bowing continuously. Sagara...
