  1. A lunch-only soba shop in a quiet residential corner of Nerima, where the menu is a single set: fine soba noodles, appetisers, and soba-gaki, the buckwheat dough swapped for red bean soup if you want something sweet. The room is wood and stone throughout, and the whole atmosphere feels like someone's thoughtful home. Seats are limited and reservations open by phone each morning around 9:30, so this is a place you plan for rather than stumble into.

    One honor, in evidence:

    The record strongest first

    One number, weighted & current 74
