Tokyo eats

We waited 45mins in the rain for a taste of this. A smooth creamy chicken broth boiled down using chicken bones. What makes this even more special are the toppings. Soft runny yolk in the egg, seasonal vegetables like pumpkin, sweet potato and grilled asparagus. Instead of char siew, you get pieces of tender poached chicken breast. Also, I got to add roast beef slices which makes this bowl even more awesome!! This was totally worth the wait and queue.

At 1500jpy, this simple natto soba is a steal at this price. Beyond the Michelin guide, Tamawari is also the number one Soba restaurant on Tabelog, a Japanese food review site. I like to use tabelog as a reference point against the Michelin guide. You can trust the Japanese foodies here. Tamawari's signature Natto soba comes with a raw egg yolk, onions, bonito flakes, sea weed, hand made soba noodles and of course natto. Mix them together for a explosion of flavours and texture. This is hands down the best bowl of soba I've ever had!
