The specialty of Itajiruba Kaoriya is a striking serving of soba piled generously on a wooden box, with the standout feature being the choice between thick noodles with firm chewiness and thin noodles prized for their smooth texture. The dipping sauce comes in a soy-based version as well as a rich sesame-based option, and the thick duck meat in duck broth, along with freshly fried, crispy shrimp and seasonal vegetable tempura, are also popular. The melt-in-the-mouth dashi-infused rolled omelet is so tender it's been compared to chawanmushi, and it's become common to enjoy it alongside small dishes like seared katsuo (bonito) and firefly squid while sipping sake in classic soba-shop drinking style. The interior, with earthen walls and a single-plank table, filled with the sound of jazz, offers a calm, adult atmosphere suited to girls' nights out or quiet dates. Lunch comes with seasonal takikomi gohan (mixed rice) with free refills, and despite its Ebisu location, it's praised for good value.
