Shimbashi Soba @ Singapore ****

Seiro (Plain Buckwheet Noodles) with Rich Sesame Dipping Sauce and Nameko (Mushroom) Soba in Seaweed Broth

Although haute cuisine restaurants like l’Atlelier de Joel Robuchon have only recently been moving towards the open-kitchen concept, simple-but-spectacular places like Shimbashi Soba have been showcasing the loving care that goes into preparing each delicate strand of noodle for years. One feels true gratitude for the delicate mouthfeel of the humble Seiro cold soba dish when the laborious process of combining flour, egg, and water, stretching and shaping, and finally cutting it into minute slices is fully considered.
