I was taken to this soba-ya in Hiroo when I asked to go to a izakaya. My friend told me there was not a good izakaya in the area, but this soba-ya had many dishes. It ended up being one of the most interesting meals I had during that trip. I did not try their soba, but everything else there was amazing. My favorite dish was the ika. It was cooked table side on the hot stone they are sitting on. The other picture which may be hard to identify is the bamboo (yellow dish). It was a huge foot long piece that was just slightly charred.
