Chichibu Soba Ohanabatake Station Branch
Until recently,Hanayuu” I was eating tempura soba.
A bowl of soba is not enough to satisfy the stomachs of young people in their prime growing age, so we decided to eat at ``Hanayuu'', which is a few dozen steps walk from Hanayuu.Chichibu Soba Ohanabatake Station BranchI decided to move on to ``.
Once you have verbally given your order, the cooking will begin.
Payment is due when the food is completed and served, so be sure to prepare your payment while the food is being cooked.
The good news is that in addition to cash, you can also use credit cards, various electronic money, and PayPay as payment methods.
It is a stand-up soba restaurant that is located inside or outside the store, with only the cooking area inside and the counter outside, just like the ones you would find on station platforms in the past.
I think these days restaurants like this are rare, as the public health center won't give permission due to concerns about heat stroke and the like.
It was a sunny day, but depending on the weather such as rain, I might hesitate to eat here.
Tempura soba
This time I ordered “Tempura soba”.
The price was 460 yen.
The tempura soba at Hanayu that I ate earlier was 400 yen, so although it was 60 yen more expensive, it was still reasonably priced.
It will be served within 2-3 minutes after ordering.
Tempura (kakiage)
Tempura (kakiage) has a strong taste of carrots and onions.
It's not freshly fried, it's pre-made, so I get the impression that it doesn't drain well of oil.
The texture was not crispy, but rather oily.
However, this is not a bad thing.
By soaking it in the soup, the oil dissolves in just the right amount, making the kakiage lighter and the oil dripping into the soup gives it a richer flavor.
Soba Noodles
Soba noodles have a lot of black spots on the soba seeds, giving you a strong taste of soba noodles.
There are some standing soba restaurants that sell 100 percent soba, but this had the strongest soba flavor of any standing soba I've ever eaten, excluding the 10 percent soba stores.
Tsuyu (Dipping Broth)
The soup stock was weak and had more of a salty taste than soy sauce.
It's nice that wakame is the default topping.
Just when I was thinking that I could easily eat two bowls of soba, I finished eating and drank the whole thing, thanking everyone for the feast.
Comparison of Hanayu and Chichibu soba
Although it is rude to compare, I would like toHanayuu” and “Chichibu Soba Ohanabatake Station Branch”, so I will tell you which one I liked better.
As for the tempura, I preferred Hanayu.
For soba, I preferred Chichibu soba.
As for the soup, I preferred Hanayuu.
Overall, I prefer Hanayuu, but if I were to compare soba based on the soba itself, I think Chichibu soba would be my favorite.
But overall, it's pretty good. . While having this problem, ``Chichibu Whiskey Festival 2024”.
Ultimately, I think food is a matter of taste.
Since the two stand-up soba restaurants are located close together, I think it would be interesting to compare the flavors if you have the stomach.
