Sobaya

Every week I treat myself to an expensive lunch. Lately, the lunch involves soba. I used to hate soba. I don't like noodles in general. But after that great experience at Honmura An a year ago, I became interested. Then I found out that it was nutritious, all kinds of disease preventing and only 132 calories per serving. It's like the miracle food.The problem with Honmura An is that they have a $25/pp mininum. I've been going around the city treating myself to a new soba place every week. Most of them sucked so I haven't mentioned them. Today I went to Sobaya. When I first became a foodie at the end of high school, I wanted to try the place because of its decor. The outside looks like an old Japanese building. But I didn't like soba and $15 for lunch was too steep for a girl making $12/hour. Now that I'm older, I think it's great! They have ikura soba for $13.50! That's comparatively cheap. Ikura is salmon roe, one of my favorite foods! Plus they give you the soup afterwards. I think I'm going to go back next week.
