Another Kenritsudaigaku station area review, Tamagawa is probably the nicest looking restaurant in the area.  It's very Japanese, serving soba and udon dishes, along with the usual sushi, tempura and various dishes on rice.  It is a nice, wide-open space and once inside you realize it's not as fancy as the outside appears.

Hot sake and free stewed daikon

I got some hot sake as it was freaking cold outside, and that was very nice.  As I ordered, I wanted to some meat, so I got the maguro sushi dish, and then realized I probably wouldn't be eating the rice, so I got a tempura cold soba set too.  This was way too much food, and each one was a meal in itself.  But it was all very good and I enjoyed it.
