This time it's Oomori! Honestly, I found that the large portion is quite a lot and the regular size is just right. The rice seems to be free, so that's a plus! The vinegar is mild, so the taste changes significantly without being too overwhelming, which is really nice.

In late May 2023, I felt like eating Taiwanese Mazesoba, so I visited this place for lunch. It is a dual-operating shop, with "Hanabi" serving Taiwanese Mazesoba for lunch and a yakiton (grilled pork) shop called "Kurenai Ton" at night. The restaurant is located on the second floor of a building near Shinbashi Station, with a seating capacity of nearly 100. Since it is a pay-first system, I paid in advance and waited at a table. The bowl arrived in about 10 minutes. In the center of the noodles were Taiwanese minced meat and egg yolk, surrounded by leeks, green onions, garlic, fish powder, and nori. The noodles were flat and curly with a good chewy texture. When I mixed everything together and started eating, the spicy Taiwanese minced meat, leeks, and garlic created a chaotic flavor. There were also slices of red chili peppers, making it one of the spicier dishes I've had. The garlic flavor was also quite strong. Perhaps due to overindulging the previous day, I found it a bit oily and heavy. So, I added some vinegar with seaweed on the table to freshen it up as I continued eating. After finishing the noodles, I received a complimentary serving of rice and enjoyed it thoroughly. Thank you for the meal.

Today, I visited a restaurant called Hanabi. They take your order at the entrance. Even the regular size portion is quite large and very delicious. The staff is very friendly and kind, making it a relaxing and enjoyable dining experience. It was a very meaningful time. When you are nearby, I highly recommend stopping by and trying it out for yourself.

I visited the restaurant in late December, during a light rain in the afternoon. I was seated immediately. I ordered the Taiwan maze soba with a level 3 spiciness, which cost exactly 1000 yen. I was given an apron and after a short wait, the bowl was brought to me. It had minced meat, chopped green onions, and shredded seaweed on top, with a raw egg yolk. I mixed it all together and took a bite. It was delicious with just the right amount of spiciness. I finished the noodles and ordered extra rice to enjoy the remaining broth.

Near Shinbashi Station, I tried to find a ramen shop and ended up at Taniseya, but the line was too long so I gave up. I struggled with the large portion of Taiwan Mazesoba, as always with 200g, but I forgot to take a photo and mixed it all together. Still, it was delicious! Thank you for the great meal.

I found a sign while wandering around for lunch and decided to enter because it looked delicious. I thought it was called "Kurenai Ton" but it turns out they operate as "Hanabi" for lunch. There are various types of mixed noodles, but I ordered the classic one this time. Rice was free, but I decided not to have any. After a while, the mixed noodles arrived. It looked delicious with plenty of meat miso, green onions, seaweed, and sesame seeds. I followed the instructions on how to eat it and it was delicious! The spiciness was just right. I quickly finished it and had a little bit of meat miso left, so I thought about putting it on the rice, but I ended up eating it as it was. I want to try more dishes from this restaurant. Thank you for the meal.

The original Taiwan maze soba is at Hanabi, Shinbashi. The birthplace is not Taiwan but Nagoya, with a history of around 10 years. Still, it is very famous and delicious, I love it. I was fully satisfied with the large portion, and of course, I got some rice and mixed it in. The price is 1040 yen. No reservations required. Located at 2-3-6 Shinbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo. Phone number: 03-6550-8353. #TaiwanMazesoba. Follow @aoyan_food on Instagram for more delicious food recommendations.

Taiwan Mazesoba 890 yen. The restaurant operates as an izakaya at night, but during the day. It's a bit hard to enter since it's on the second floor and the stairs have quite a few steps. As soon as you enter, there is a register where you can place your order and pay. When you order the "Taiwan mazesoba," they confirm the portion size by asking, "Would you like a regular size?" Two TVs play different shows at a low volume, with pop Japanese music like Utada Hikaru's "Automatic" playing in the background. The place is not crowded, but you may have to wait for about 10 minutes, which feels longer than expected. The casual way the staff speak to each other catches your attention. You try to split the disposable chopsticks but struggle to do it cleanly, so you give up and use the shorter chopsticks to eat. The mazesoba comes with minced meat, bonito flakes, seaweed, chives, green onions, garlic, and a neatly placed egg yolk in the middle. You mix it vigorously several times, struggling with the thick noodles due to the short chopsticks. The dish is warm, and the aroma of bonito flakes and seaweed is strong. Oh, it's spicy! You thought it was just because a bit of red pepper got in your mouth, but the spiciness continues with each bite. The flavors of chives, green onions, and garlic are there, but the spiciness dominates. You can't stop eating, it's addictive. You forgot to try the kombu vinegar that you wanted to add towards the end. What a shame. The portion size was just right. This Nagoya-originated dish is not something you would find in Taiwan. It reminds you of "Guo Zhengliang's Misaki," a similar dish. Even after finishing the meal, your lips tingle, and your stomach feels warm.

I visited on a regular day and had the Taiwan Mazesoba for 890 yen. After getting my second vaccine shot, I had lunch on my way back. I usually prefer mazesoba over ramen, so I wanted to try the original shop where Taiwan mazesoba originated. I found it in Nabi Shinbashi, so I decided to go there. I ordered the classic mazesoba, and it was served promptly. The presentation was beautiful, making it hard to mix it, but I had to do it. The sound of mixing increased my appetite. The first bite was delicious as expected. I quickly added vinegar for a flavor change, and it was perfect. Once I finished most of the noodles, the final weapon was brought out - the finishing rice dish. I devoured it and left feeling very satisfied. This is why I can't stop my Tokyo life. Top restaurants from all over the place are coming here. I will definitely come back. Thank you for the meal.

In front of Shinbashi Station, there is a popular brand of maze-soba on the day side of the izakaya called Nimoka. While the evening may be tough, the lunchtime crowd is far from full. About half of the seats were taken. The most traditional Taiwanese maze-soba is less than 1000 yen, but adding toppings can exceed 1000 yen. This price includes extra rice. The maze-soba has a stable flavor. The noodles and sauce are well mixed in advance, with toppings generously piled on top. The amount of ground meat is satisfying. Adding garlic enhances the taste. It has a good level of spiciness, tolerable even for those who are not good with spicy food. Adding vinegar can help reduce the spiciness to a milder level. Even after finishing the noodles, there is still plenty of sauce and meat left, making it possible to finish with extra rice. The overall quality of the dish remains high. This is the power of a well-established brand. The power of a brand is truly amazing. It's great that this place opened in Shinbashi.

I tried Taiwan maze soba for the first time in Osaka. When I visited the original shop in Nagoya, it was closed for the day. There were no other locations near the area I was in, so I didn't have another chance to try it. I found out that they only serve lunch in Shinbashi, so I made sure to visit this time. I arrived 10 minutes before opening and the staff greeted me warmly and showed me to my seat. I ordered the Taiwan maze soba with extra green onions and garlic. I followed the menu's instructions on how to eat it, making sure the egg was evenly mixed in. The punch of garlic and spices spread throughout my mouth. However, I had gotten used to the taste and ended up adding more garlic. Hmm, the initial shock I felt when I first tried it didn't quite come back. Oh well... I finished with the rice and it was delicious. Even the regular size was quite filling.

Thank you very much! I couldn't see the Blue Impulse yesterday, so I'm still feeling down. Today, I'm working in Shinbashi. During my usual lunchtime walk, I stumbled upon a new Nagoya specialty - Taiwanese Mazesoba. Being from Nagoya myself, I felt like I had to try it. I visited Hanabi for the first time. I arrived at 1:45 PM, and the restaurant was about half full with 5 customers. The operation is run by 5 staff members, and it's a order-at-the-counter system. I ordered the Taiwanese Mazesoba (200g) for 890 yen. The dish arrived quickly, and it looked delicious. I mixed it up and started eating. It had a nice level of spiciness and the minced meat with miso flavor was tasty. The noodles were medium-thick curly noodles, different from the Taiwanese ramen I had in Nagoya. I also added some kombu vinegar halfway through, which enhanced the flavor. I also ordered an extra serving of rice to finish off the remaining ingredients. It was a bit small in portion, but it was delicious. I didn't know about this dish when I was in Nagoya, but it was a tasty experience. Overall, it was a good meal, even though the cost performance may not be the best for those who eat a lot. If you're in Shinbashi, you can get a filling meal for just 1000 yen. But for my first time trying Taiwanese Mazesoba, it was delicious.

In Shinbashi 2-chome, "Beni Ton" operates as "Hanabi" serving Taiwanese maze soba during the day. Ordered the basic "Taiwanese maze soba" for ¥890 with a large serving for an additional ¥150. The thick noodles are not firm but rather soft and chewy. It is quite flavorful with plenty of minced meat and egg yolk, but not too salty. It could work as a main dish with rice. Towards the end, changing the taste with the kombu vinegar on the table makes it refreshing. The amount of noodles is 200g for regular and 300g for large, but it felt like a substantial portion, maybe based on the weight before boiling. The free extra rice at the end makes it seem like getting a regular serving with extra rice would be the right choice.

At lunchtime, I was drawn to the name "Original Taiwan Mixed Noodles" and decided to visit the restaurant. The restaurant is located about a 5-minute walk south from Shimbashi Station towards the SL Square, on the second floor. Upon entering the restaurant, temperature checks and alcohol disinfection were done properly. First, I placed my order and paid, and then entered the restaurant. I ordered the Taiwan Mixed Noodles DX (1,260 yen) with extra spiciness (+30 yen). I decided to go all out and increase the spiciness. The staff asked if I wanted garlic, but I declined as I had work in the afternoon. The noodles were medium thickness and topped with meat miso, garlic chives, seaweed, egg yolk, green onions, chopped seaweed, and chashu. Although I ordered the normal size (200g), it felt like a lot of food. They offer up to 500g for those who are up for the challenge (additional charge applies). In terms of taste, it was undeniably delicious. However, it may be a bit challenging for those who don't like a lot of ingredients or find it time-consuming to mix everything together (the green onions were spicy). The staff were cheerful, and the meal was enough to make you forget about the scorching heat of a midsummer day. I recommend trying it at least once!

JR Shinbashi Station (towards SL) is a 3-minute walk away. This restaurant operates as a dual-purpose establishment, serving only lunch as it turns into an izakaya at night. As a result, the interior is spacious. Payment is required upfront. They offer Taiwan Maze Soba for 890 yen, which has a satisfying level of spiciness. The chewy noodles and delicious minced meat are highlights. Free extra rice is provided to ensure you leave full. Despite the ongoing pandemic, this popular restaurant starts forming a line around 12:30 pm on weekdays. Interestingly, prices are slightly higher here compared to their Umegaoka branch, possibly due to the location.

From Shinbashi, SL Square to Hibiya Street, there is a second-floor Mobius-style izakaya that now serves Taiwanese maze soba during the day. After alcohol disinfection and temperature check, you pay in advance for the basic "Taiwanese maze soba" for 890 yen. Toppings, spiciness, and extra noodles are available upon request, while garlic is included. After cashless payment, you are seated at a partitioned counter seat. The staff ensures social distancing. After a surprisingly short wait of 10 minutes, the bowl arrives. The advice is to mix well. Following the instructions on the table, mix the green onions, fish flakes, garlic, ground meat, nori, etc. with the noodles and egg yolk until they blend well. The diverse flavors go well with the thick noodles. Upon finishing, a message of gratitude is found at the bottom of the bowl. Even with the basic option, the portion is satisfying and filling. The total time spent was 18 minutes.

I love the Taiwan Mazesoba with extra pork! The original Taiwan Mazesoba HanaBi has arrived in Shinbashi. The HanaBi sign is boldly displayed! So, let's smile boldly! ♫ I'll go for the Deluxe Taiwan Mazesoba with extra pork! It comes with chashu, seasoned egg, seaweed, and plenty of green onions, but I added extra pork on top! Ta-da! Here it is! If you order a large portion, you'll be so full that you won't need to eat dinner at night! First, mix it all up! Once you've mixed in the egg yolk, slurp it all up in one go! Be careful not to breathe in through your throat to avoid the spiciness reaching your throat, which can lead to coughing in this season! Once you get used to it, you'll be able to slurp it without any issues! And during your meal, drizzle some kombu vinegar over it. Huh? It magically turns into a milder mazesoba! I recommend leaving about one piece of extra pork until the end, and then ask the staff to mix it with rice (free of charge). Enjoy it with the remaining minced meat for a fantasy experience! Ah, I was so sleepy in the afternoon today too! Laughing.

Delicious! Spicy! Taiwan maze-soba is really good. The extra rice is free. Adding extra rice makes the maze-soba regular size very filling ❤️ Adding kelp vinegar gives it a refreshing taste. I wanted to add garlic (tears). The shop seems new. For lunch, it's a Taiwan maze-soba shop. For dinner, it seems like an izakaya. Is today a special day? Southern music has been playing as BGM the whole time, I love the atmosphere of this place.

It was tough but delicious! I paid extra for meat but it was a bit tough...
