Featured on TV as well, this cold soba is topped with 12 different kinds of ingredients, including a raw egg yolk that sits on a sticky pool of tororo (grated mountain yam). Unlike Rikyu, a mini jar of tare is served at the side and so the flavour is left in the hands of the diners (since all the ingredients are bland anyway)
I learnt later from tinyurbankitchen that three-star Michelin chef Jean George Vongerichten declared Matsugen as his favourite soba restaurant in the world. Not surprising.....but this makes me wonder which soba did he have? I want to try that one the next time.
