Hiyashi Niku Soba (Chilled Meat Soba)+Minced meat cutlet
The black maitake mushroom bowl I had before was also quite delicious, but this time,Hiyashi Niku Soba (Chilled Meat Soba)” and “minced meat cutlet” I ordered.
On this day, when you order minced meat cutlet, it was during a free trial period where you could get one fried chicken as a sample.
So let's have it.
Hiyashi Niku Soba (Chilled Meat Soba)
First of all,Hiyashi Niku Soba (Chilled Meat Soba)”.
The soba noodles are topped with meat, sesame seeds, green onions, and seaweed.
It's called Minatoya Inspire.
From the looks of it, it looks quite voluminous.
A large amount of seaweed, meat, and soup with chili oil.
This combination is definitely strong.
Soba
The soba noodles are perfectly seasoned.
Soba noodles are chewy and have a strong aroma.
You can see the cooking process, but you can also hear the sound of crunching ice.
This sound is reassuring.
It is important that chilled noodles are thoroughly chilled.
There's nothing worse than lukewarm cold food.
This is cold, chewy, and consistently delicious.
meat
The meat is stewed pork.
It's not heavy because the excess fat has been removed.
You can only feel the flavor of the meat.
It has a strong presence that can be matched with chili oil soup and strong soba noodles.
It's a good amount, so it's satisfying to eat.
Tsuyu (Dipping Broth)
The soup is drizzled with chili oil.
This chili oil is what inspires Minatoya.
It has a spiciness, but it's not too strong, and it's just the right stimulation to continue eating the soba and meat.
It also has the flavors of seaweed, sesame, and green onions, making it quite addictive.
At the end, enjoy the soba soup on the table.
It is also good to add soba hot water to the chili oil soup.
Warm balls
You are served either a raw egg or a hot egg, and this time I chose the hot egg.
Add the hot eggs at a suitable point.
The spiciness of the chili oil and the saltiness of the soup add the mellowness of the hot egg.
It's best to add it halfway through, as the flavor will be a little more rounded.
Personally, I like to add it to the soba side, but you can also add it to the soup, and you can eat it however you like.
fried chicken
On this day, when you order minced meat, you get a free fried chicken as a sample.
The fried chicken is well seasoned and juicy.
Even though it's just a trial, it's delicious.
It's not a bad idea to have fried chicken as an accompaniment to soba noodles.
minced meat cutlet
Next, ``minced meat cutlet”.
On top of the minced meat cutlet, there is curry, although the color is similar to demi gras sauce.
The minced meat cutlet has a meaty texture and the sweetness of the onion and vegetables.
The curry has a Western taste.
It gives the impression that it's somewhere between demi glas sauce and curry.
It's not too spicy, so it doesn't taste strange when paired with soba.
The minced meat cutlet itself is delicious, and the curry sauce is also good.
However, personally, I thought I would prefer the black maitake mushroom bowl.
Impressions and Rating
『Soba Sayaka' I had Hiyashi Niku Soba (Chilled Meat Soba) and minced meat cutlet.
The soba was consistently delicious.
The minced meat cutlet was also delicious.
It had a meaty texture and sweet onion, and the Western-style curry sauce was also interesting.
However, to be honest, I personally feel like it's a black maitake mushroom bowl.
As a side note, Minatoya in Toranomon closed in 2019, Minatoya3 in Roppongi closed in September 2024, and ``Minatoya'' in Haneda Airport closed in September 2024.The Minatoya Lounge” closed in 2026.
Furthermore, Casablanca, which is directly connected to Minatoya, will close in June 2024.
All that remains is Minatoya 2 in Otemachi.
I can't recommend it while I still can, but I would like to visit Minatoya 2 as soon as possible.
Soba Sayaka is a Minatoya Inspire store that I would like to visit regularly in the future.
