Grayson and I stumbled upon Tairyou ichiba while we were going for a walk along Kingsway. And I’m sure we weren’t the only ones who got drawn in by the giant wooden doors Tairyou ichiba has on the exterior.
Zaru soba or zaru udon (gluten free, vegan)
Zaru soba is one of my most favorite Japanese dishes and I like to order it at restaurants a lot. But for some reason it’s quite the pricy dish to order especially for something that doesn’t come with any proteins or veggies so I finally decided that it was time to make it for myself […]
