New Year's Soba with Panda Mark

I visited Soba Dokoro Hasegawa around 5:30 PM on New Year's Eve with my wife's family. Since it was early, we managed to get a table easily, but as expected on such a busy day, the place quickly filled up with families, and the seating area became quite chaotic. Because of that, it took a while for the staff to come take our orders.

They took the orders of guests who arrived after us first, and I found myself waiting while hearing others say, "We’re back!" I understand that this was the busiest time for a soba restaurant, but it wasn’t exactly pleasant. However, once we did order, everything arrived quickly, within about 15 minutes.

I had the cold maitake mushroom tempura soba. Thanks to my memories from a trip to Fukui, I tend to order anything that comes with "oroshi" (grated daikon). Our family also ordered tempura soba, layered seiro (soba served in stacked trays), and assorted tempura. The layered seiro was a great deal, with extra trays available for just JPY 200 each, starting from JPY 600.

The maitake tempura soba featured maitake tempura, sliced green onions, and bonito flakes, served with wasabi and more chopped green onions on the side. The dipping sauce was a type you could pour over yourself. The maitake had a nice crunchy texture, and the sauce was rich and sweet. It felt like I was back in the Kanto region.

Having recently eaten Echizen soba, I found myself comparing the two, but the soba here was quite delicious and certainly of good quality for a New Year’s soba meal. It would have been a hassle to boil enough for everyone at home, so I was glad to eat out, even if it was a bit pricey.

One curious thing was the panda logo visible on the sign and around the restaurant. While it's common to see family crests or similar designs at soba shops, a panda as a family crest? I couldn't help but imagine how interesting it would be if the restaurant's ancestors were samurai from the Sengoku period.
