"There’s a newcomer on Japantown’s soba roster: Sora Soba Dining, a casual sit-down restaurant from theHinodeya Ramenteam. They specialize in, naturally, all things buckwheat noodle. We like to keep things simple with the kushi tempura, which comes with bouncy cold noodles, dashi broth, and a side of meat and vegetable tempura with matcha salt for dipping. And always tack on a side of the Aigamo duck—it’s smoky, tender, and seared until rosy. LikeSobakatsudown the street, expect a wait to get your hands on their cold and hot soba dishes, but there are more seats here, so you likely won’t be in line too long." - Julia Chen
