Soba culinary art"Marusuke"（Warabi・Kawaguchi）

My oldest son wanted to eat soba, so while driving southward on Sangyo road from Urawa, I found and entered in a soba shop,"Marusuke"

I thought that this soba shop would be popular because during the lunchtime, its parking space was full. To see this soba shop, due to its old-fashioned, I could not imagine inside the shop.

Ivy-covered　appearance of store is retro. Also it is restro and untique in the store. Interior decorating looks like this;

Without any knowledge, this apprerance may require guts to go into this shop.

No one ever hears "Soba culinary art" but its staffs were very young.

・Might start this shop after purchasing old shop ?
・Might take over this shop from his parent ?

By imagining above and so on, I ate soba.

We orderd as follows;

・Hiyashi Nameko(Cold Soba topped with some slimy small and brown mushroom)
・Hiyashi Tanuki(Cold Soba topped with with deep-fried tofu)
・Marusuke Soba

Hiyashi Nameko

Hiyashi Tanuki

Marusuke Soba

Hiyashi Nameko had grated radish on soba.My second son loving mushroom ate this soba. My oldeset son loving Agetama (deep-fried crispy batter flakes) ate Hiyashi Tanuki

Well, I ordered Marusuke soba. That is,

・Regular soba
・Tempura soba
・Sansai soba(Soba topped with edible wild plants)

You can taste three types of soba above by one set(Marusuke soba). It costs 900 yen. Quite Reasonable ? It was thin noodles I liked.

If there is this shop in my neighborhood, I would like to have a drink. Unfortunately we can not come here without car.

Staffs served us very well, but I wish there were separation of smoking areas during the lunch time.

But I guess I will eat here again. I have enjoyed the meal very much ！
