This is a long-established kimono store founded in 1910 in Ikejiri, Setagaya Ward by my grandfather, who relocated to this area after the war. At that time, the area was named, Chitose Village, so he named his shop Chitoseya.

Kamakura Pasta Soshigaya – Okura Branch / Since 2014
Special carbonara with thick sliced bacon
Delicious pasta in a relaxed Japanese atmosphere
In this restaurant you can eat pasta with chopsticks in a calm space as you would fine Japanese cuisine. The Soshigaya branch is in a residential area, where many local customers come to relax with a meal or tea time. Great customer service and a cozy ambience are top considerations.
Fresh pasta for the discerning customer
We use fresh pasta made entirely from the highest grade of durum flour. Aged for a day, it has a fresh and gooey texture that not found in dry pasta. We want you to try our Carbonara with special cream sauce. Split the egg yolk with your chopsticks, coat your noodles with it and enjoy the rich texture.
All-you-can-eat fresh-baked bread!
When you order your meal, you can enjoy warm, freshly baked bread, made right in our kitchen. The outside is crispy, and the inside is soft and flavorful. Try it slathered with sauce and accompanied by the unique texture of the fresh pasta.

On top of a Japanese culinary base, we offer creative and original dishes with Western style presentation. In winter, accompanied by the warmth of a Japanese-style brazier, please enjoy the dishes that have been carefully prepared for love of the season with carefully selected wines and sake. Even if you come alone, you can visit with me at the counter… A good time, don’t you think?
Dishes that are a celebration of the season
We use ingredients that impart a sense of the time of year while doing our best to avoid additives or ready-made products. Menu orders can include anything from appetizers to rice dishes as courses. Please, relax with your drink.
We are careful to express harmony in our space, down to the plaster of the walls
