Harajuku's extra-thick soba "BASO" Enjoy new sensation of nihachi soba and salted duck dipping SOBA in a stylish space Read in Japanese

BASO Soba Restaurant in Harajuku

BASO" is an old-family-style buckwheat noodle restaurant in Harajuku, where you can enjoy a new sensation of thick, firmer, and firmer nihachi soba noodles.

This time, I visited on a weekday after noon and had "Salted duck dipping SOBA" (1,290 yen).

The combination of the dipping sauce with concentrated flavor of niboshi seaweed and moist duck meat cooked at a low temperature is exquisite, and the convenient location makes this a must-visit spot.

Attractive points of "BASO

1. New sensation of Nihachi Soba

BASO uses thicker nihachi soba made by Nogawa Noodles. The thicker the noodle is, the more you chew it, the more you can enjoy its aroma. It is a satisfying dish for both men and women.

2. Salted Duck Tsuke SOBA

Shio-okamo no Tsuke SOBA features a special dipping sauce made from five kinds of dried sardines (Setouchi saba-bushi, sardine dried sardines, dried bonito flakes, Soda bonito flakes, and muro-aji flakes).

It is also blended with Nihonbashi dashi broth and honjozo dark soy sauce, and accented with the fresh aroma of yuzu (Japanese citrus fruit).

The moist duck meat, cooked at low temperature, has a juicy flavor that spreads with every bite, and is a perfect match with the dipping sauce. The thickness of the meat makes it the best duck meat I have ever eaten at a soba restaurant!

3. Customize your dish with a wide variety of condiments

There is an abundance of free condiments available at the table, such as nori (seaweed), kujo leeks, wakame seaweed, chives and pepper, tenkasu, etc. You can add any of these condiments you like.

In particular, chives and pepper add a tangy and stimulating flavor to the dipping sauce.

4. Calm space in an old private house style

The restaurant is an atmospheric renovated old private house.

The dining space is located on the second floor, creating a relaxed Japanese atmosphere.

When I visited on a weekday after noon, there were a few more male customers, but the atmosphere was easy to enter even for a single woman.

5. Produced by "No Good Neighbor

The restaurant is also notable for being produced by the popular "No Good Neighbor" restaurant in Ningyocho.

The quality of the food and the hospitality are very particular, and once you visit this restaurant, you will want to repeat your visit.

6. Next time, I want to try the egg tempura rice!

Next time, I would like to try the highly reputed "egg tempura rice". The combination of soba noodles and rice will make for an even more satisfying meal.

I recommend BASO to these people!
