Ryan may sound like a weird name for an upscale soba restaurant, but it is an anglicization of its Japanese name Raian. Calling it a soba restaurant is also a bit misleading since this open kitchen does so much more than that, including not just decent drinks but also a multi-course meal that we had featuring a deliciously fatty pork from Iwate coated in a rich kinome leaf butter. Admittedly the other dishes we had were a bit tame, but the meal closed with the soba above, and in my case I upgraded to a gyumotsu curry dip, which to my surprise was thin but still savory and rich.
