Shimbashi Soba Sake - Kurunjang

First time having sobs noodles. Was pretty good, was nice and fresh.

We had the $65 banquet last night. Very impressed with the food and value for food.<br/ We have picked the sake pudding for dessert. Very light and fresh, with some citrus gel In the middle giving the pallet a nice clean. Highly recommended.<br/ <br/ We also had the Choya sake tasting. Honey, Yuzu and wiskume.<br/ Very Yummy choya sake. My favourite was the YUzu.<br/

My score 3.5 stars. J and I had dinner here on Tue 30th July before checking out the Gertrude St Projections (just found my missing pics in with my G St P vids). Booked through Zomato which was quick and convenient. Interior was pretty nice, place was pretty full. Service good, efficient, helpful. We got the $65 banquet for 2 people.<br/ <br/ Shared Salmon poke (small bite) Salmon cubes, rice crackers, rust coloured smoky paprika like thin shards of something, spicy oil. Yum!<br/ <br/ Shared Nasi Dengaku (small bite) Zucchini, red capsicum, large eggplant cubes, miso sauce with yuzu around outside. Dish of the night Super yum!<br/ <br/ J had Tempura Soba (main) Bowl of soba, mild smoky flavour, nori, Asian greens, red capsicum, sweet potato, green beans and eggplant. Tempura prawn, veg and white fish (all good) plus Tempura dipping sauce. Overall, ok, but fairly subdued flavours maybe we got our hopes up too much.<br/ <br/ I had Duck Soba (main) Soba started a little too al dente but got better part way through, the really smokey broth integrated better halfway through too. Bean curd, inoki, wombok, eggplant and tiny carrot slivers. The duck was hard to eat – a bit tough and hard to chew through (but not dry at least).<br/ <br/ Shared 2 scoops Matcha ice cream (forgot to photo) A bit icy, not the best Matcha we've had by a long stretch. Syrup and the powdery sprinkle made it more interesting than what it would have been otherwise. <br/ <br/ Shared Black sesame panna cotta (forgot to photo) – Interesting serving glass, cream was fluffy, black sesame seeds on top, PC was quite mousse like, but had really lovely flavour.  Quite a small serve.<br/ <br/ To drink we shared a glass of Chardonnay $11 (served a bit cold) and Savarro $12 (preferred to Chardy). Plus Red miso beer $13 (the pick of the drinks) and a Asahi Black $10 (ok). The miso beer was much more interesting than the Asahi and had better flavours.<br/ <br/ Standout dishes were the Eggplant side, then Salmon side and Panna cotta. Total bill $112.70

Visited couple of times, their freshly made soba was great, the service was nice, would like to come back and try the dinner menu.

The tofu and egg soba was great along with the okonomiyaki skewer. I would recommend this place if your looking for a nice hot bowl of soba. :
