The ground floor of a HDB block in Bedok Reservoir seems like the last place you’d find a classy Japanese eatery, but Reiwa Soba Honten proves otherwise. Known for their excellent range of soba dishes, Reiwa Soba Honten makes its noodles freshly every day, using only 100% buckwheat to ensure a silky, dense texture.

One must-try soba dish here is the REIWA Pork Soba ($13+). This cold noodle dish is complemented with succulent Spanish white pork slices and a warm spicy dipping sauce that adds a piquant dimension to your meal. Do note that you can adjust the spiciness levels of this sauce.

For a unique take on cold soba, order the Sansho Spicy Mazesoba ($15+). The noodles here are topped with Sichuan pepper-infused minced pork, leek, alfalfa sprouts, tenkatsu AKA crunchy tempura bits, nori and a homemade sesame sauce. The result is a dish that’s numbing, cooling, and umami-filled, all at the same time.

There are also hot soba options here. These include the Seabream Kake Soba ($15+), served in a warm savoury broth and accompanied by fresh sea bream sashimi slices, leek, wakame, and yuzu peel.
