Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking
The name means ‘five’, referring to the five colours of the buckwheat plant, from its root, stalk, flowers, seeds and leaves. It also pays tribute to the five elements of the natural world, with Daitoku-ji Temple a few steps away. Omakase of soba and other dishes is replete with seasonal flavours, revealing the chef’s mastery of Japanese culinary arts. Aesthetic sense is outstanding, as befits a soba house of the Wakuden family. Soba is served plain or with spicy daikon. Dishes such as aemono or sabazushi may be added à la carte.
