Men Takahashi
『Tachinomi Ikoi BranchAfter having a quick drink, let's go have lunch.
So, I decided to try Akabane's famous store, ``Men Takahashi” Visit.
The place was where I stayed until this morning.Cosmo Plaza Akabane'It's right next to '.
We arrived at around 10:50 when it opened at 11:00, and at this point there were 6 people in front of us and we were the 7th to connect.
The store opened at 11:00, and there were only 7 seats at the counter, so I was able to get in at the last minute in the first round.
Niku-iri Tsukesoba (Dipping Soba with Meat)
The basic menu is ``Raa noodles (750 yen)” Katsukemen style “Tsukesoba (750 yen)” There are two choices.
Various toppings such as chashu pork and Omori (Large Portion) can be added to it.
Orders are taken verbally and orders are placed in the order in which customers enter the store.
This time, “Niku-iri Tsukesoba (Dipping Soba with Meat) (1,100 yen)” I asked.
Although it was a one-time operation by the owner and I entered the store at the very back, the service was quick and took less than 10 minutes.
Since the counter is a live kitchen where you can see the owner cooking, we were able to enjoy the food for just under 10 minutes without getting bored.
Let's get it then.
Noodles
The noodles are said to be from the Asakusa Kaikarou system.
It is medium thick and has a chewy texture.
Since it is thoroughly coated with water, it has a slightly chewy texture and when you chew it, you can easily feel the taste of wheat.
It also goes well with the dipping sauce.
dipping sauce
Personally, I felt the dried sardines were strong at first.
After that, you can also feel the dashi stock made from knots and animals.
I think it's similar to the so-called Mata-kei, which is seafood and pork bones, but compared to Oma-kei, the dipping sauce itself is lower in concentration and has a stronger umami flavor, so I feel it has a unique taste.
Chashu (Braised Pork)
The cut is loin, and it contains a lot of so-called korocha, which are cut into small pieces.
The meat is moist and flavorful, but to be honest, I didn't need this much. .
The noodles and dipping sauce are delicious, so you can try it without adding meat.Tsukesoba (750 yen)” But I think you can enjoy it enough.
『Raa noodles', you can top it with pork loin, ribs, and different parts of pork, so if you want to taste pork, try 'Mixed meat noodles (1,200 yen)It seems like it would be a good idea to order something like this.
onion/fish meal
Onions and fishmeal are placed on the table, and you can use them for different tastes.
Up to 3 cups in total are free, 4 to 7 cups are priced at 10 yen, and 8 or more cups are priced at 30 yen.
It is a system where you self-report the amount you have used, and when you leave the store, you put the money into a bowl near the entrance.
This time, I used it for free with 2 cups of onions and 1 cup of fish meal.
The freshness and smell of onions add a nice flavor and texture.
Fishmeal has a stronger seafood flavor.
soup split
While you're eating, they'll offer you a bowl of soup without you having to say anything.
I tried drinking it as is, but it tasted like an animal.
Personally, I felt the flavor of the pork was strong.
When added to soup, the animal flavor becomes stronger.
It's served while you're eating, so I think you can add a little bit at a time to make the animal-based flavor stronger instead of adding it all.
I think you can customize it to your liking while eating, like adding the fishmeal I mentioned earlier to make the seafood stronger.
Impressions
It was so delicious that you can see why it is famous.
Payment will be made when you leave the store.
Please note that the only payment method is cash.
I left the store about 20 minutes after entering, but at that point there was still a line of about 10 people.
However, I had the impression that the service speed was fast and the turnover rate was fast, so I don't think there would be as many lines as it looked, so I would like you to come and visit.
