Senshuan

If you’re torn between soba and a rice bowl, the Iberico pork cutlet rice bowl at Senshuan stands out. Diners who have ordered it describe a thin coating of batter and tender meat, cut into easy-to-eat pieces. One review also singles out the egg cooked with the cutlet on top; another describes a generous two-layer serving, with cutlet tucked into the rice as well as placed on top. For a particularly filling meal, a rice bowl makes a natural choice.

If you’d like soba alongside your meal, diners who ordered the cutlet rice bowl set with mori soba say both portions were generous. One person who chose a large cutlet rice bowl with mori soba also remarked on the noodles’ texture and the aroma that came through afterwards. Other cold soba options include kamo seiro, grated-yam soba and tempura mori. These are handy choices if you’d like dipping sauce, tempura or grated yam with your noodles.

For tempura, options include a soba set meal that also comes with prawn tempura and grated yam, and Suruga tempura mori, listed as featuring fresh sakura shrimp from Kambara in Shizuoka Prefecture. One visitor noted the variety of tempura and the size of the prawn. Senshuan is described as suitable for both lunch and dinner, and for dining alone. Payment is cash only, so it’s worth bringing some with you.
