Kagura-ya — Restaurant in Tokyo

Local eat is always the best. One simple rule if you want to eat like a local. It’s best to select the restaurant with japanese menu only because most local will come to their favourite ones repeatedly. I and my partner are the only foreigners in the store among japanese.

Simple menu: first, you need to select among four types of broth based on chicken broth: thick, smooth, ramen dip noodle (yes, this one is awesome too) and one more type which I haven’t tried yet. I think they got the same noodle texture as I couldn’t have enough time to translate every single Japanese on the menu since there is a queue after me.

They were both super delicious, the restaurant takes pride in where it sources it’s ingredients, the types of noodles it serves for each type of broth. So delicious. A big queue out the door the entire time. Not great for large groups (like most places in Japan). Max table size of four. Their banana shakes were also yum - I got the black sesame and it had a lovely subtle...
