Absolutely satisfied for only ¥600!! The seaweed and sesame soba noodles for weekday lunch are exquisite!! Even the regular size is like a large serving at other soba noodle shops! And the noodles are surprisingly thick and chewy!! Plus, the dipping broth has chili oil, adding a spicy kick and aroma. ^_^ There's also a lunch-only chicken tempura donburi that's unbelievably delicious. It's also quite a large portion, so be careful if you're getting it with a soba noodle set. Another thing to note is that the payment system differs between weekdays and weekends. On weekdays, you buy tickets from the vending machine right when you enter. On weekends, you sit down and order, and pay when you leave! They accept cash, cards, QR codes, and electronic payments, so it's very flexible. The service is incredibly fast, making it perfect for a quick lunch. Finish off the rich dipping broth with some soba tea. ^_^

【Yurakucho】 There's a soba noodle shop called "Ore no Dashi" on the B1F of GINZA 5, serving soba inspired by Minatoya. I ordered the large portion of the cold chicken dipping soba. The price is the same for both regular and large portions. The extra-large portion is 50 yen more, so it's a good option for those with big appetites. Just like Minatoya, it comes with a raw egg and chili oil dipping sauce. There's also a regular dipping sauce, but most people opt for the chili oil. They also have a meat soba, but I chose the chicken because it comes with my favorite soft-boiled egg. I went there before noon, and while there was a line, it was just at the vending machine, so the queue moved quickly. The thick chicken and thick soba noodles made for a satisfying meal. By the way, the soba tea and condiments are near the entrance, so many people miss them. It's quite inconsiderate, isn't it?

My friend and I visited this restaurant. The sign said "Ore no Dashi" (My Broth), which made me worry if it was the right place, but it was. We had a reservation for two, but were seated at a table for two. It's understandable since we were only two, but it felt a bit cramped when we were drinking. I guess it's unavoidable at a soba restaurant. We started with a bottle of beer to celebrate. Then, we learned about a special offer where you get a free sake if you register as a LINE friend. Despite the poor signal, we managed to register. They have a great selection of drinks, including melon liqueur and other delicious options that would appeal to women. It's fun to try different things. The food was also great. We ordered a tempura platter, a sirloin steak (only ¥1280, what a steal!), and a chashu egg. Everything was delicious and very reasonably priced. For our final course, we ordered soba noodles. They offer unlimited raw eggs, though you can only add one at a time, which is funny. We had a great time, drinking and eating to our heart's content. The bill came out to about ¥6000 per person. This is a great place to go for a delicious meal with friends.

I had business in Shinbashi and walked about 10 minutes to get there. It was Sunday lunch, so there weren't many people and I was able to be seated in about 5 minutes. I ordered the "Ore no Niku Soba" with a soft-boiled egg topping. It cost around 1,000 yen, but I'm from the Izumo soba cultural area, where 100% buckwheat soba costs around 1,000 yen, so I didn't think the price was high. The hot soba with chili oil was hearty and a unique culinary experience for me. On my way out, I thought, "Seriously?" when I saw a topping zone near the exit with eggs and other items. The staff didn't tell me about it, and if you sit on the left side of the entrance, it's hard to notice because of the partition and the customer sitting opposite you. I think many people have had the same experience.

According to Tabelog, "Ore no Soba" seems to be the old name of the restaurant. The official website mentions it, so it must be the old name, but when I went there, it was still "Ore no Soba." Is the current name "Ore no Dashi"? Maybe they don't care about such small details. Recently, meat soba has become ubiquitous. It tastes pretty much the same wherever you eat it. Ore no Soba has been around for a long time, but it's no exception to the norm. It's that familiar taste, with chili oil and a raw egg. They're not trying to change, or maybe they can't. Well, the taste is good. It's delicious. It's consistent wherever you eat it, so you don't need to choose a specific place. You can't go wrong. The only disappointment was the soba noodles. While pre-cooked noodles are unavoidable, they were a bit too soggy. I wish I could have enjoyed delicious soba noodles with this dipping sauce. Thinking about it, that pioneer restaurant was truly impressive. Meat soba: ¥1000 *One raw egg is free.
