Shinozaki is a small soba restaurant in a basement in Sapporo that serves soba during the day and izakaya dishes at night. It offers hand-made buckwheat noodles and crisp tempura, which is eaten dipped in salt or tentsuyu. The soba broth is dark, made with added buckwheat flour, and at night soba shochu and Japanese sake are also available. The buckwheat noodles are thick, country-style hand-made noodles, which is divisive.
