Introduction
Steam rising from the noodle pot at a station-side counter — people stop by, warm up, and head back out in minutes. That’s the everyday rhythm at Fuji Soba, a long-loved Tokyo chain. With photo ticket machines, quick service, and steady quality, it’s the perfect place to experience Tokyo’s everyday food culture without stress.
What to Try
• Zaru Soba (Cold) — Start with chilled soba topped with nori seaweed. It looks better and brings out the aroma more than plain “mori soba.”
• Kake Soba (Hot) + Raw Egg — A soothing bowl of soba in hot broth. Add a raw egg for a gentle, creamy touch.
• Tempura Topping — When you want extra texture or volume, add kakiage or shrimp tempura. The photo shows zaru soba topped with a colorful beni-shoga tempura (red pickled ginger fritter) — a fun, eye-catching Tokyo touch.
Tokyo or Trip?

About "Taste of Japan"
Hello, I'm Yuta.
Born in landlocked Yamanashi and having lived in the gourmet city of Sendai for 10 years, I now call Togoshi-Ginza home. My frequent business trips across Japan allow me to constantly explore the diversity of regional flavors.
Why Togoshi-Ginza?
This street is Tokyo’s longest shopping arcade (about 1.3 km), but it holds a special history. It was the very first street in Japan to adopt the "Ginza" name—a tradition that later spread across the country—after receiving bricks from the famous Ginza district following the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake.
My Wish as a Local
I am not a culinary expert. However, as a Japanese local who knows both the convenience of Tokyo and the origins of regional food, I want to share the "atmosphere" and "personal feelings" that you won't find in standard guidebooks.
The Concept: "Tokyo or Trip?"
Visiting every region of Japan in a single trip is nearly impossible. Some food experiences are worth the travel to the source, while others offer a fully satisfying experience right here in Tokyo.
This blog is a guide to help you make that choice. Based in Togoshi-Ginza, I share my honest experiences and "my personal answer" to help you maximize your culinary journey in Japan.
- π Local-First: Best experienced in its home region. Worth a trip.
- π’ Great-in-Tokyo: A nationwide favorite or regional specialty that offers a fully satisfying, authentic experience right here in Tokyo.
