About this place
The soba at lunchtime goes beyond the familiar classics. Diners have singled out the creamy dipping sauce served with walnut dipping soba, a dish to savour at an unhurried lunch. One review mentions that the chilled tantan soba came with a small rice ball; for extra heat, another diner suggested adding habanero sauce.
Saku has a different character depending on whether you come for soba at lunch or choose several dishes in the evening. Dinner includes options beyond Japanese cuisine, such as Gorgonzola gnocchi and tripe stewed in a spicy tomato sauce, which appears on the menu. One diner said the gnocchi paired well with wine, while a family reported that the children asked for seconds of the prosciutto and cream cheese bruschetta. For fish, consider salmon meunière with browned-butter sauce or fresh-fish carpaccio.
The restaurant is described as comfortable for solo diners and has counter seating, making it easy to enjoy a bowl of soba at lunch or a dish in the evening at your own pace.
