Welcome! Today, I went to a certain person's blog and fell in love with the charm of Iwamizawa. I followed the flow of a solo trip review from Gowa 1 to the number, and on the way back from Iwamizawa, I decided to stop by here because they have "Buta Nanban"! Even though I still have a lot of travel reviews to write, I wanted to write about this place first. The end of the trip ended up being about soba, and in a place like Ebetsu, I wasn't sure where it was, so I had to rely on a map. Surprisingly, this area is a mix of residential and commercial areas with many eateries and ramen shops around. I didn't pay much attention to it as I passed by, but thanks to the blog, I noticed it. The interior of the newly opened store was quite plain, run by a family of three staff members including the owner. There were counter seats, tables, a raised tatami area, and a back section. As soon as I walked in, my eyes were drawn to the tsukesoba on the menu! Later, I found out that the set menu was also reasonably priced, and the photo of the tendon had such long shrimp! The BGM playing while waiting was a TV show, maybe it was King's Brunch because it was Saturday?! On the table, there were shichimi togarashi and sansho pepper, which had a lot of green for a sansho pepper. When I asked the soba expert, they said it was "Japanese sansho pepper"! It has a mild numbing sensation and seems to be suitable for soba. The owner brought out the Buta Nanban tsukesoba, and the cute plastic container for the sobayu was interesting. The thickly simmered pork slices and green onions in the dark-colored dipping sauce, along with a half-boiled egg, emitted a nice aroma with the steam. The soba was firm with a 2:8 ratio and cold, which paired well with this pork broth! Rather than saying it paired well, I think the richness of the broth and the deliciousness of the ingredients enhanced the soba even more! This broth has a strength that would also go well with ramen, and for those who don't like it too strong, you can balance it out with sobayu! Since it's tsukemen, the strength of this broth makes you want to keep eating the soba! I sprinkled some of the Japanese sansho pepper that I was curious about halfway through. The numbing sensation was minimal, no spiciness, and it enhanced the umami of the broth, like a follow-up flavor! I now want the authentic Japanese sansho pepper that is more sensitive to the numbing sensation. This deliciousness would also be great with udon, I'd like Soba connoisseur Mar-bo and Ryuusei to try it out a bit! There were many muscular customers, but it seemed to be favored by families and elderly people in the surrounding area as well. Thank you for the meal! After this, I returned to Sapporo, took a nap, and fell asleep instantly!
