Order at the ticket machine and the bowl arrives in a couple of minutes, with crunchy ice on top and the beans waiting at the bottom. Reviewers in 2026 keep remarking that ¥350 buys a dessert-sized bowl that sits well after soba. The shop faces Kishimoto Shokudo, and people in the soba queue buy take-out cups to get through the wait. A reviewer who came at 16:00 on a September Tuesday found two other customers, and the room was full by the time they left.
