Soba Kiri Kuro is a soba specialist in a basement in central Sapporo Odori, in front of the 4-chome tram stop. It serves chewy nihachi soba with sweet soba tsuyu, and orders can include an oyakodon and mushroom tempura set along with hoe and fried dishes. Office workers and regulars from the area eat here, and adding noodles can increase the portion considerably. Smoking and non-smoking seats are separated, but cigarette smell reaches the non-smoking seats.
