More Sad News

I just read that one of our longtime favorite restaurants, Honmura An, served their last dinner a week ago Saturday. While NYC is now overflowing with Japanese restaurants, Honmura An’s closing is still a real loss to the NY dining scene. They served fantastic soba that they would make on site and all manner of homey comfort foods including some of the best fish cakes I’ve ever tasted. Apparently due to family obligations, the owner Koichi Kobari is going back to Japan to tend to the Honmura An back there. I’m disappointed that I didn’t get to eat there one last time. More reason to go visit Japan again though, right?
