About this place
Open the menu at TRE-TE in Sangenjaya, and you will find dozens of spaghetti options, ranging from tarako (pollack roe) and sea urchin to soy-sauce-infused dishes, tomato bases, and cream sauces. A natural starting point is the house favorite: spaghetti with tarako and sea urchin. The rich, savory sauce clings well to noodles cooked with a pleasant bite, and diners with a hearty appetite often order a large portion.
For those leaning toward seafood flavors with a clean profile, Japanese-style preparations accented by fragrant shiso herb are well worth considering, such as eggplant with shimeji mushrooms and shiso, or clams with mushrooms and shiso. Meltingly tender eggplant and mushrooms meld with savory soy sauce, keeping each bite light from start to finish. The kitchen also shows its range with garlic-scented tarako cream sauces and straightforward meat sauces finished with grated cheese, adapting easily to whatever style you are in the mood for.
Before the pasta arrives, unwinding over a glass of wine or beer alongside a shimeji mushroom salad, marinated olives, or crisp garlic toast makes for an inviting preamble. Outfitted with both counter and table seating, the dining room maintains an unhurried, calm atmosphere that suits a relaxed solo lunch just as well as an easygoing dinner.
