Am now at ueno on the keisei skyliner bound for narita airport. Before we left takasaki, sachiko took us to this really good soba restaurant near the train station. The soba from this restaurant called ume no hana is 100 percent buckwheat and uses no preservatives. I wanted to buy some to bring home but was advised not too as it probably wouldn't keep. :-( apparently the takasaki area is quite well known for it's soba too and there is a reason why, the soba we had for brunch was really awesome. :-)
i'm not really a fan of soba, but the tempura looks oishi!!!
ReplyDeleteThe tempura didn't just look oishii, it was oishii too. =) I think you would have liked it. The soba is really fantastic. You might change you mind about soba if you were there to sample it. =)
