Chintatsu soba
『SOBA DINING Rinya Ikebukuro storeAfter eating, we boarded the La View train we had booked and headed for Chichibu.
I was almost asleep on the train, and before I knew it, I had arrived at Seibu Chichibu Station around 10:20.
Seibu Chichibu Station is the last stop, so you don't have to worry about missing the train even if you're sleeping. .
After arriving, leave your luggage at the hotel where you will be staying today, and explore Chichibu's famous ``Chintatsu soba”.
I joined the line around 10:40, but at this point there were already over 20 people in line.
The next schedule starts at 13:00, so we have more than 2 hours to spare, so we decide to line up.
In the end, I was able to enter the store at 11:45. .
So we ended up waiting in line for about an hour.
Last year, we lined up for about an hour. . The poor turnover rate hasn't changed from last year. .
There are counter seats, table seats, and seats, but even at the table seats that can accommodate multiple people, one person is not allowed to share a seat, so the turnover rate is poor. .
It seems that there are some food consultants who purposely slow down their turnover rate and create lines to make it look like they are thriving. .
I would like the operation to improve. .
Miso Chintatsu Soba
Last year, the soy sauce-flavored ``Chintatsu soba large serving (1,000 yen)”, so this time I ordered “Miso Chintatsu Soba Large Size (1,000 yen)” I asked.
I'd really like to have beer and gyoza, but since I'm going to be drinking a lot of whiskey after this, I decided against it to avoid getting sick. .
Orders are made verbally and payment is made before leaving the store.
In addition to cash, you can use PayPay as a payment method.
It was served in about 5 minutes after ordering.
The service time is early, so the poor turnover rate seems to be due to the way they guide you to seats. .
Let's get it then.
Soup
You can feel the richness of the miso and the sweetness of the green onions and pork fat, and these go together perfectly.
And the sesame oil gives it an accent scent.
The soup is quite hot so be careful not to get burned.
Noodles
Straight thin noodles.
It has a crunchy texture.
It feels like a slightly thinner version of Marutai's stick ramen, which I personally like.
If you eat slowly due to the heat of the soup, the noodles will stretch, so be careful.
I ordered a large serving, but since there are 2 balls of noodles, it's quite filling.
If you have plans to eat while walking after this, I think the normal option is better.
Green onion/pork
The ingredients include plenty of green onions and thin pork belly.
The green onions are thoroughly cooked, giving them a creamy texture and sweetness.
The fat part of the pork is sweet and has a rich flavor.
Impressions
『Miso Chintatsu Soba'It was delicious.
It has a strong sesame oil flavor, so it has a soy sauce flavor.Chintatsu soba” gives the impression that the sesame oil is floating, or rather it is too noticeable.
The sesame oil, green onions, pork, and miso all go well together, so personally, I like it.Miso Chintatsu Soba” I would like to recommend it.
If you ask me, is it worth waiting in line for nearly an hour? .
If you've never had it before, it might be a good idea to line up and try it.
The busiest time is right after the store opens, so you might want to visit around 2:00pm to 4:00pm.
If you plan on drinking whisky, you'll want to avoid foods that leave bad breath, such as garlic and green onions. .
However, ``Chintatsu soba”, the green onions are thoroughly cooked, so you can enjoy it without the green onion smell remaining in your mouth.
Therefore, if you are a participant in the Chichibu Whiskey Festival, please feel free to visit.
