SOBA CAFE IKEMORI — Local services in Tokyo

Clean and casual soba restaurant with creative, delicious flavors and super yummy ice cream! The service is quick. The interior is clean. It’s a great place for lunch or a light dinner. There are English descriptions and lots of pictures on the menu as well. I got spicy chilled soba and soba ice cream. My partner got the morisoba. The noodles have a mild buckwheat flavor and the texture is firm, not chewy or rubbery. The broth of the spicy chilled soba was savory, nutty, and refreshing with some heat from the chili oil, and it paired with the flavor of the noodles so well!

We had a couple glasses of wine and wrapped it up with dessert -- soba ice cream that was really delicious and the soba cake that was equally delightful. And if you are looking for some small gifts, they even have a little gift shop.

The atmosphere was very relaxing, music playing with a mural painted on the back wall. Would highly recommend and will definitely return next time I'm...

A delicious soba restaurant that is a bit hidden compared to the rest of the Akasaka area, but it is worth taking the time to walk over to try this place. The dining area is actually quite spacious and the service is professional and quick, as always.

I got the soba set with tomato and walnut dipping sauces. I definitely recommend trying the walnut sauce, but the tomato sauce is just as you would expect so you can try something new. It's a safe choice for...
