G read that there is a famous soba noodle shop (has been in existence for over 500 years!!) close to the Imperial Palace (where the Emperor eats each time he is in town) and with a branch in Kawaramachi. The address given simply said it was in the basement of Shijo Center. We found Shijo Center but the lady in the shop said no basement - and it didn't looked like there was a basement. So, feeling defeated, we were about to leave to look for dinner elsewhere when G spotted a set of stairs by the shop. Voila! We found it!

| The kids ordered the Oyako Donburi, rice topped with scrambled egg, chicken and Japanese leek. It was so good, the kids polished off everything! |
 |
| I ordered a Ten Seiro, soba noodle with assorted tempura. |
 |
| G order the signature dish, Hourai Soba, which means soba with a set of 8 different toppings: shitake mushrooms, shredded thin omelet, sesame seeds, shrimp tempura, wasabi, nori, Japanese leeks and grated daikon. Very unusual. Even came with instructions on how to eat it.
厲害! G thought it was extremely delicious and the best soba he has ever had in his life! Must be pretty good then coming from picky G.
