I visited after 10 PM, and there were many customers. I ordered the smallest size of the regular Abura Soba. It was surprisingly light and easy to eat. Adding garlic from the table made the taste change in a good way. The staff were very kind and always saw me off when leaving. I would like to go again.

I tried the ramen after a long time. It was a new place that I had been wanting to try. I ended up getting the oil soba in a large portion. They had baskets for your belongings and paper aprons. They also offered unlimited jasmine tea, making it easy for women to enter. The staff were very kind. The dish arrived in about 5 minutes. I mixed it all up and enjoyed it. The pork was seasoned with salt, but overall it wasn't too salty. I only used vinegar and chili oil for seasoning, but they had other spices for flavoring. I tried the fish powder, but it was just okay. I also tried adding some broth at the end to make it more like ramen, and that was good too. The thick noodles I ordered were cooked perfectly firm and delicious. Thank you for the meal!

I visited a new restaurant that opened in December 2022. As a way to end the meal, I decided to try their oil noodles. They had a variety of condiments on the table, almost 10 different kinds. In addition to water, they also offered black oolong tea, rooibos tea, and detox water for free! The taste of the oil noodles was lighter compared to other similar shops. I customized my dish with garlic, onions, fish powder, seasoning, vinegar, and chili oil from the condiments on the table. I tend to make it too heavy towards the end, but this oil noodles dish managed to stay light and enjoyable until the last bite. I even had the rice dish afterwards. I will definitely visit this place again!

I had lunch at a new restaurant in Shin-Koiwa called "Yokohama-style Ramen Yamato-ya Shin-Koiwa branch," which took over the space of the R&M Building 1F. I was intrigued by the fact that this was a filming location for a dark loan shark drama on TV, so I decided to check it out. I found out that the new restaurant, specializing in "Abura Soba" (oil noodles), will open on December 21st. The exterior of the restaurant has changed from red tones to white tones, and the interior atmosphere has also been revamped. I decided to try the base "Abura Soba" for 750 yen and the spicy miso-like "Spicy Miso Abura Soba" for 850 yen (available in regular, large, and extra-large sizes at the same price). I quickly purchased my meal ticket from the cash-only vending machine, selected the regular size, and sat down at the simple counter seat. After waiting for about 7 minutes, my order was ready. I followed the advice to mix the noodles well and then enjoyed the original flavor. It seemed challenging to go through all the steps with the regular portion, so I added vinegar and chili oil, followed by onions and garlic. I also added sesame seeds and fish powder from the six condiments available, and finally poured soup from a pot. While I wished I had ordered the large size, I took my time enjoying the meal for about 15 minutes. I then remembered that I had come here to have a drink, so I wandered around to find something to drink.

On this day, I headed to the original Abura-do in Shinkoiwa, which opened on December 21, 2022. I visited on January 11, 2023 (Wednesday), when it was sunny and 7°C. After finishing work, I rushed to Tsukihie, which offers limited Niboshi Tsukemen, but I was discouraged by the long line and decided to reschedule (cries). I happened to see a new restaurant on my timeline, so I decided to give it a try, even though it seemed like a chain store. The location is a 2-3 minute walk from Shinkoiwa Station, and when I arrived, there were empty seats inside the restaurant. I purchased a meal ticket at the entrance, where you can choose the amount of noodles from a regular 150g to a large 300g for free. Since it was nighttime, I had to be careful not to overeat, so I ordered the "Abura-soba" (large 225g). The restaurant had about 15-16 seats at a counter in a horseshoe shape. I sat at a seat towards the back and handed over my meal ticket. The self-service options for water, black oolong tea, or rooibos tea were nice, and I chose black oolong tea. The background music playing was J-pop (Ado, Hige Dan, etc.). There were a variety of condiments on the table, including fish powder, black pepper, seaweed, shichimi chili pepper, curry powder, Cajun, sesame (7 types). Additionally, there were chili oil, vinegar, kaeshi (sauce base), garlic, ginger, grated onions, making it a total of 13 types when combined with the previous ones (the financial power of the capital group is amazing!). The noodles seemed to be a blend of pasta flour and durum semolina flour. By the way, I noticed one person leaving as I entered, and at that time, there were no other customers, so it felt like a private dining experience. However, more customers started arriving one after another, and within 15 minutes, the restaurant was almost full. The good location and cost performance seem to be selling points. Soon, my dish arrived. The "Abura-soba" (large 225g) had a relatively simple visual appearance. Before mixing it, I took a photo to show the toppings clearly. The sauce was not too much, so I mixed it well as instructed. The noodles were thick and almost straight, cooked to a soft texture. The sauce for the Abura-soba was as expected, with a rich soy sauce base and a flavorful oil sauce that mixed well with the noodles. Delicious! The toppings included plenty of green onions, standard type menma with a nice crunchy texture, and shredded pork slices. The pork slices could have been more substantial for easier eating. I tried some flavor variations with garlic & black pepper, chili oil & vinegar, and seaweed & fish powder, which enhanced the taste significantly each time. The meal was finished in no time, and I expressed my gratitude before leaving. It was really delicious! In this era where ramen shops like Ramen Jiro are averaging around 850 yen for 300g, this restaurant offering 300g for 750 yen is a great value for money. Another day of happiness! Thank you for the meal! ➤➤➤ I plan to update my blog at 11:55 PM after this! (Link to the blog post provided)

This place is located within a 5-minute walk from Shin-Koiwa Station. It used to be a ramen shop before. I happened to pass by and saw that the shop had changed, so I decided to go in. I ordered the oil soba, a simple dish with meat, menma, and green onions, priced at 750 yen. You can add extra noodles for free, and I chose the oil soba with extra meat, fried onions, and egg yolk, which cost 1,000 yen. I also opted for a large serving of noodles. They offer self-service drinks, including black oolong tea and rooibos tea. The noodles were chewy and paired well with the broth. The fried onions added a nice texture and flavor to the dish, while the egg yolk made it milder. However, the taste can get a bit monotonous. The great thing about oil soba is being able to customize the flavor with condiments like vinegar, chili oil, and pepper, which this shop offers in over 10 varieties. Lastly, I recommend pouring the remaining broth over the leftover ingredients for a satisfying finish. I had a good time enjoying the meal. Thank you for the meal.

It is located just a short walk from Shin-Koiwa Station South Exit. It had just opened, and there were several people from Suits (head office). The staff were very polite. I had a delicious and cost-effective extra-large portion of abura soba.

I had oil soba (with extra meat). The oil soba was easy to eat with no strong flavors, and the sauce had a mild umami taste. The noodles were chewy and had a good texture. Finally, pouring the soup over it made it very satisfying. Thank you for the meal.

The food was simply delicious. The restaurant seemed newly opened and the staff were a bit flustered, but their effort was evident and I felt like cheering them on. The fact that they offered free refills of Rooibos tea was a big plus. However, depending on where you sit, the location of the ticket machine may block the path to the free drink corner, so I deducted 0.5 points for that.

I thought it would be something like this, and it was just as I expected. They seem to have a focus on noodles, as they apparently use pasta flour. However, that doesn't necessarily mean the noodles are delicious. The portions are generous for the same price, which is great for those who want to eat a lot. There are also plenty of options for flavor variations. Overall, it's quite ordinary, but considering you can eat a lot for the same price, I would give it a 3.

The staff's service was very kind and I was very satisfied.

There is a wide variety of seasonings available, allowing you to enjoy your own original oil noodles. It was also very delicious even without any seasonings. I look forward to this becoming a new famous restaurant in Shinkoiwa.

I was curious because I pass by this store every day on my commute, so I decided to go in. I had thought it would be a thick oil noodle, but it was relatively lightly seasoned and easy to eat. Personally,
