\"Soba<\/a>Another chapter of the soba adventures\u2026 Friday dinner at Soba Totto<\/a> with Angela.<\/p>\n

The entrance is easy to miss if you\u2019re not paying attention. I\u2019m so glad we made reservations. It was very crowded, and it seemed like they might have been understaffed. That, or their waiters just aren\u2019t very attentive. The tables are packed very tightly together, so you end up hearing every little bit of your neighbors\u2019 conversations, whether you want it or not. We were seated next to a couple who were on a *very* awkward first date. Heheheh.<\/p>\n

Appetizer #1: Nasu Agedashi ($6), lightly deep fried Japanese eggplant in warm tensuyu broth. (I rarely eat eggplant because John absolutely hates it. Perhaps even more than he hates mushrooms.) Tasty, but very greasy. It was fun to watch the bonito flakes were gently swaying in the bowl.\"Soba<\/a>Appetizer #2: Vegetable tempura ($10). Lovely light batter on these veggies. Never had lotus root tempura before. \"Soba<\/a>Hot Tanuki Soba ($12) with fried tempura flakes and fishcake.\"Soba<\/a>Hot Sansai Soba ($13) with mountain vegetables and mushrooms. I\u2019ve had the sansai at Soba-ya<\/a> and Cocoron<\/a>. Might as well try it here too! Topped my soba with shichimi (Japanese chili pepper) for a little kick. \"Soba<\/a>A solid bowl of soba. It didn\u2019t offer as much vegetables as the other soba places I\u2019ve visited so far, but the ingredients were of a higher quality. Pricing is very similar, and Soba Totto\u2019s appetizers were much larger than I was expecting. Overall, Soba Totto feels a little more upscale than the others. Good for date night!<\/p>\n
