However, no customers dared to visit due to the infamously spicy radish broth that accompanied the soba. On January 4th, 1789, a mysterious man (Takeshi Matsudaira) wandered into the shop, fondly reminiscing the taste of "Sanada Soba," and upon learning it was only available on that specific day, he vowed to return the following year. And so, he did, year after year. Then, one day, Shobei hears of a tattooed thief from an official, Seizo (Tetsu Masuoka), which plants a seed of doubt in his mind. This leads up to January 4th, 1795.See less
