ニコゲのカレー南蛮そば : Sobazakaya Nikoge

This is a soba Izakaya (Japanese-style bar) that opened last year on the main street (just behind the main street). I find it very useful because I can easily eat soba for lunch. Well, on a very cold Saturday, I came here with all my heart for a warm ``duck soba'', but hmmm, this is a trap only available in the winter. ●Curry Nanban Soba ¥1080 Instead of using the curry paste that is common at soba restaurants, the curry powder is mixed directly into the soba soup. Sweet, salty and spicy, it may be surprisingly innovative. There weren't many stewed pork belly and green onions, and the arrangement was a bit sloppy. The soba noodles themselves are small, but they come with rice and Croquette. In the second half, when you add the piping hot Croquette and rice, Croquette melt and thicken, creating a ``curry porridge''-like feel, which may be more delicious than soba noodles. Well, next time I'll try "Kamo Soba". Thank you for the meal.

This is a soba Izakaya (Japanese-style bar) that opened on Main Street this year. It was a cold Saturday afternoon, so I came here to have warm soba noodles, but this is what the menu was like. ●Chinese soba ¥750 I expected the clear soup to be a warm version of chicken and bonito ``meat soba'', but there was no fat floating in it and it didn't seem to contain chicken stock. In other words, it's like adding Chinese noodles to the sweet soup of warm soba noodles. It's completely different from the "nostalgic" version of this super light Japanese-style "Chinese soba," and it feels like something new. Noodles: Medium-thin, chewy Chinese noodles with added water. Should I pair this with this soup? I quite like it. Ingredients: Two pieces of pork belly roll chashu are aromatic and delicious. Half-flavored egg, menma, and green onion. It is limited to 5 meals a day. ``Spicy Curry Nanban Soba'' is becoming more and more popular, and looking at the photos, the dark curry looks delicious. That's it next time. Hmm, I came here to eat warm ``duck soba'' but I kept putting it off (lol) Thank you for the meal.

7月に大通りにオープンした蕎麦居酒屋です。
さて、今日も暑いので2週間前に食べそびれたこれを。

●ざる蕎麦　￥680
角が立った太めの田舎蕎麦で、よく締められていて、キリっとザクっと。
前回の「冷たい肉そば」と同じ麺だと思いますが、やはり美味しい。
（人によっては硬いと感じるかも）
平らな皿に広げられて出てくるので、多めに見えましたが．．．やはり多めでした。
（それに実は蕎麦に刻み海苔はいらない派ですが、ここのは飾り程度なので好ましい）

ツユは出汁よりカエシが効いた辛口、甘ったるさが無いので日本酒に合いそう。
薬味はワサビ、ネギ、モミジおろし。
そば湯も出てきます。

●ミニ天丼　￥380
海老、大葉、カボチャ、それに玉子。揚げはサクサクです。
玉子は割ると黄身がとろり。
これもなかなかのボリューム。
丼たれも甘さ控えめで好みのタイプです。美味しい。

前回は平日でけっこうな混み具合でしたが、今日の土曜ランチもお昼過ぎるとどどっと混んできました。
ま、これは人気出ますよね。

夜の部はつまみメニューが増えるのかな？
ごちそうさまでした。

This is a soba Izakaya (Japanese-style bar) that opened last week on a back street of the main street. (Is Nikogame Japanese hair?) First, I went to lunch to see how things were going. The location used to be Chojuan, and the interior structure is the same as before, with a counter, tables, and a small raised area in the back. Of course, it has been beautifully renovated. Although it was lunchtime on a weekday, the place was already almost full with nearby office workers. Oh, it's Yamagata soba. Zaru (tenzaru, kashiwaten), cold meat soba. Of course, there are warm ones, but no one in the store is eating them. Rice dishes include mini Ten-don (tempura rice bowl). To eat soba properly, you should start with the ``zaru'', but if you have this that you love, it can't be helped. ●Cold Meat Soba ¥880 I think it's chicken and bonito, but the soup stock is very deep and gives you a sense of Japanese-style meal techniques. Cold meat soba is a specialty of Kahoku-cho, Yamagata Prefecture, and there are three or four restaurants in Morioka city where you can eat it.While other restaurants use chicken oil and are quite thick, the ones here are simply elegant. And it's crisply cold and delicious. It's been a long time since I finished eating the forbidden soup. ．． ．． Noodles: The dark-colored Nihachi soba noodles are typical of Yamagata, but they are quite solid. It seems that the noodles are homemade (handmade?) in the store. Ingredients: Normally it's a firm roasted pork fillet made from parent chicken (Hinetori), but here it's made with 5 chewy chicken breasts. When I thought about it, the chicken was shredded and submerged in the soup. excuse me. Of course, it's crunchy and delicious, but it blends into the noodles, so I'd like to cut it a little thicker and larger to get more texture. I couldn't find the evening menu, but I'm looking forward to the evening dishes. Thank you for the meal. I'll come back later.
