went to sarashina horii nyc today w friends

the only non japan location of the tokyo based soba spot which is currently owned by the 9th generation
open since 1789

the nyc one is shuttering end of june ny.eater.com/2023/4/7/23673981/manhattan-japanese-restaurants-closing-nyc

so nows the time to go
theres 2 types of soba they serve in nyc, either sarashina (white bc its made from just the innermost part of the buckwheat) vs horii (what you imagine soba to look like, kinda brownish grayish)

we all got the hot kakiage soba lol--its a giant shrimp tempura puck with herbs and then loose kakiage on the top.
the morii noodles have a fairly typical quality soba taste/texture--that is to say toasty and they dont really have a bite or bounce at all.
the sarashina noodles were super super bouncy and springy, and dont actually have a distinguishing buckwheat taste. very cool
morii is pictured
Definitely great soba

we got the soba panna cotta

typical panna cotta with a nice mild toastiness from the buckwheat

matcha tiramisu (nothing particularly special, cha an also has and is probably better)
and the soba cha

i tried to do a pan con tomate w my milkbread
it didnt hit. pan con tomate and milkbread dont go

Someone posted a list of best new restos to “try right now”
List includes a spot that id literally never heard of but sounded interesting
Looked it up

Not open yet, not even a specific date for opening added lol🥴
How exactly does that work like how is a restaurant a best new restaurant when it does not exist there is no restaurant

Spot is roscioli, lady from tokyo record bar (asian themed but shes not asian btw) is opening it in collaboration with the rome-based antica forno roscioli

I suppose it means that this place will have a lot of people pushing it if its getting plugged before a single soul has tried it 🥴
Ill go tho i always am intrigued by oversea branches of stuff

Its just crazy to me the way ppl start hyping very specific places with no real anything

Man...

BRUH THOSE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES LOOK INCREDIBLE

Holy

He can't be stopped

all the cakes worth trying imo

i don’t usually like cake that much but these were good

cookie fire

spaghetti

went to oneg bakery cause i wanted to try some jewish and it was closest on yelp. got some choco rugelach and choco chip cookie that i haven’t tried yet and a thick slice of double chocolate babka which is pretty fire but if u not crazy about chocolate u will hate this. it’s like they stuffed 6 brownies into a slice of challah bread. very rich and chocolatey.

then went to archestratus and got casa cookie and pistachio cardamom lace

rugelach was so fire and that tiny choco chip cookie was not bad either (not the best but could prolly eat a bunch of them very moreish) wish i got more of both

This is what happens when someone else goes and tries to post some pastries in this thread

Awww you went to a bakery? You got a couple croissants? Thats cute. Oh wow you got a couple cookies? Thats adorable.

You are not him, you can't be him, you will never be him.

Proper is not tolerating that and he won't ease up on you fake bakery enthusiasts

ur so 📠

gonna take a break over the weekend tho after today then start again next monday after we finish all this s*** lol.

damn nick and sons weekday menu kinda limited all the fun stuff is for the weekends but i’m not waking up early and waiting in a line for bread + half the menu was sold out by 10am but wasn’t interested in most of that s*** anyways. really wanted to try zatar croissant oh well
