"Soba With Duck & Leek The hot soba with sliced duck at Sarashina Horii is our definition of a noodle soup masterpiece. Our favorite dish at this high-end soba restaurant, the soba comes in a massive bowl of bonito broth filled with handmade noodles that are firm on the outside and tender on the inside. Each noodle is cut to the exact same size, which allows for a harmonious blend of carbs and broth in every bite—but the thick pieces of roasted duck floating on top are what take this noodle soup from perfectly good to undeniably great." - Hannah Albertine, Nikko Duren, Carlo Mantuano
