Hot soba noodles with grilled duck slices ( Kamonan ).
Chef Morimoto once said that if he could pick his last meal on earth, it would be soba. I don't think buckwheat noodles would be my choice for a last meal, but when it snows in April, like today, I want something hot, comforting and delicious. Sobaya never disappoints.
Our favorite Soba restaurant in New York used to be Honmura An on mercer. We alternated between the two establishments for over five years. Honmura An was pricier but served more al dente noodles; Sobaya offers impeccable broth and better desert. When Honmura An closed their doors two years ago, we were really glad to still have Sobaya to fall back on.
Soba noodles hand made daily on-site.
Trio of simmered vegetables : squash, lotus root, Japanese yam.
Soba with fried tofu, spinach, and fish cake.
Milk tofu ( or what I call Japanese Panna Cotta ), black sesame Ice cream.
Sobaya is located on 9th between 2nd & 3rd.
congrats on your engagement! i agree, there is such a multitude of ideas out there in the wedding blogosphere (i never knew so many existed!) that magazines are unecessary. it is SO overwhelming! right now, my current favorite is bklynbrideonline.com.
