Behind the Counter at a local Japanese Soba Izakaya Noodle restaurant. Just a one minute walk from Shimbashi station, you’ll find a hidden local Japanese soba noodle shop, Sukehei. Opened in 1975, it's become a salaryman favorite for its large servings sizes and quality. While Sukehei is a go to soba noodle lunch spot for locals, at night it becomes more of a traditional Japanese izakaya drinking restaurant offering a variety of menu items such as fresh fish. If you're wondering what to eat in Tokyo or looking try Japanese cuisine in Tokyo for a great value then this Soba Izakaya noodle shop is worth a visit.

Thanks again for another great video. I used to work in a restaurant in the USA where we fried seafood as part of the menu. New oil makes for very light- colored crust on fried food whereas older oil gives a darker color and is crunchier. Our customers typically liked the crust better when the oil wasn't brand new, but I could see why you would want the thick katsu batter to be darker and crunchier while tempura batter comes out lighter amd arier.
