"Smilemen-tei Komatsuya Honten" is a ramen shop specializing in abura soba located along the Kanpachi-dori in Nishikomatsuya, Ota-ku, Tokyo. I tried the large serving of abura soba and the weekday lunchtime special half rice (790 yen). The abura soba comes with menma, chashu, wakame, and nori, with thick curly noodles. The shop is a ramen shop specializing in abura soba, with another branch in Magome, Ota-ku. There are also branches in Hyogo and Tottori prefectures. The interior has only counter seats and operates on a ticket system. There are signatures on the wall from the band Sekai no Owari, who are apparently regulars at this shop. There is also something called the Sekaowa Map, which lists the shops the members frequented before their debut. If interested, ask the staff for more information. The menu offers various sizes of abura soba noodles with different prices, as well as toppings. During the weekday lunchtime special, there are free toppings available, with 11 choices. I opted for half rice. I was not sure what Chitan Tan Tan was, but it seems to be a dish where hot soup or hot water is added to the bowl with the remaining sauce and egg. Next time, I might try it. After placing my order, I noticed instructions on how to eat abura soba written near the counter. The shop's style seems to be adding vinegar and chili oil without hesitation from the beginning. The bottles of vinegar and chili oil provided are quite large, so you can pour as much as you like. Additionally, there are extra sauce, grated garlic, shichimi pepper, and pepper on the table. The thick curly noodles of the abura soba were mixed well with the vinegar and chili oil as instructed. I forgot to take a picture after mixing, but the flavor was not too strong, likely due to the vinegar, making it refreshing. The chili oil added a slight spiciness, and eating it with rice was enjoyable. I would like to try the Chitan Tan Tan next time. It was a delicious meal. Thank you.

The best oil soba shop I think in Tokyo is located in Kojiya. * ☼ * - - - - - * ☼ * - - - - - . Shoumentei Kojiya Honten @shoumentei. * ☼ * - - - - - * ☼ * - - - - - . Whenever I go to Tokyo, I always go to eat at this shop. It's always a popular shop with long lines. On this day, around 3:30, I was able to enter quickly, but customers kept coming one after another. I love it so much that I even order it to take home and play restaurant at home with Shoumentei's donburi. Do you know that oil soba is healthier than traditional ramen? It's light and the calories are half as much, I think. Anyway, surprisingly healthy. Large serving of oil soba (up to large serving for free) 830 yen Simple and delicious, with no extra ingredients to mask the flavor. Under the noodles, there is a salt sauce, so you flip the noodles and mix them to eat! The basic way is to sprinkle about three rounds of chili oil and vinegar to taste! It's okay without them, and you can add them later or enjoy it in various ways. The noodles are thick and curly, chewy! I love these noodles too. The salt sauce is also incredibly delicious. The chili oil has a great sesame flavor, not too spicy, and I end up adding chili oil about three times. They also have garlic and extra sauce, which is the best! I usually add Chitan Tan Tan (egg soup) at the end, but this day I was already full from eating out, so I refrained, but I still had the large serving! Topping with raw egg is also delicious! The taste that you can eat every day! It never gets old! It's also a sacred place for Sekai no Owari. When Sekai no Owari was just starting out, they used to come here often. Kyary Pamyu Pamyu and Tsuchiya Anna (Masuwaka Tsubasa) also visit this shop. There are also signatures from them! @fukase @saori_fujisaki @nakajin @djlove @tsubasamasuwaka1013 @kyarypamyupamyu123. When I used to go to Tokyo once or twice a month, I used to come here a lot. I love this shop. The owner of this place is my parrot friend and also a friend of Sekai no Owari, haha. I forgot to tell them I was going this time, so I couldn't meet them, but I'll go again, so thank you for the meal!

Abura soba carbonara abura soba? Arrived at 13:05 on Saturday, seated immediately with 2 other customers. Dish arrived at 13:12. It took about 7 minutes from arrival to serving. The restaurant I originally planned to visit was unexpectedly closed, so I found a highly rated ramen shop nearby on Tabelog for the first time. It seems to be a favorite of the members of Sekai no Owari, but honestly, it didn't really appeal to me. I forgot to record the menu and prices. I couldn't help but wonder if the high ratings were influenced by fans of Sekai no Owari and their nostalgic memories.

The nearest station is Otorii, facing the Kanpachi. Nowadays, it's great that they stay open until late at night. I ordered the regular size of Abura Soba with extra noodles for 790 yen. I had never been to the main store before. I've been to the Magome store. I feel like I need to get the extra noodles to feel satisfied. The regular size comes with chashu, seaweed, and bamboo shoots. It's very simple. Nowadays, it's common to decide how much chili oil and vinegar to add. You can add as much as you like. The base of the chili oil is sesame oil. When you mix it all together, the seaweed becomes noticeable. It's refreshing and delicious. It's customary to make Chitan by adding Chinese soup and eggs to the remaining broth. Abura Soba has now become a regular menu item, and the price has gradually increased to the level of ramen.

I came out and immediately flipped the bowl upside down, but then realized I forgot to take a photo! How embarrassing. Now, onto my long-awaited visit to Laughing Noodle House. The special size is 340g, about twice the regular size, and it says to add three times the amount of chili oil and vinegar. Well, just keep pouring until you're satisfied. I added extra seaweed topping, which ended up soaking up some of the broth. Maybe it's best to skip the extra seaweed next time.

This is my third time at Laughing Noodle House! I went with a friend who loves Sekai no Owari, and we had a great time. I'm not a fan of spicy food, but I can handle the chili oil in the Abura Soba. I opted for the large size since it was the same price as the regular size, and I finished it all in no time. I know, that's how I end up gaining weight... After the meal, my friend was thrilled to receive a Sekai no Owari map. We'll definitely be back!

I was wandering around wanting to eat ramen as a final meal, but couldn't find a good restaurant. Eventually, I found one. I don't usually eat oil soba, but this one had a strong and delicious flavor! If this restaurant was near my house, I would definitely come regularly. And of course, beer is a must!

I had been curious about Abura Soba for a while! I thought it would be more intense and heavy, but it was actually surprisingly not too rich! It was nice that I could adjust the vinegar and chili oil myself! It was a rare Abura Soba that I could eat without feeling heavy until the end! Thank you for the meal!

I finally went to Wara Men-Tei, a place I've always wanted to visit! I was invited by a colleague and decided to go. I got scared by the mega portion, so this time I went for the special size. It was not too heavy but had a rich flavor of oil noodles. The taste of chili oil was strong. I wonder if I should challenge the fourth size next time. It was delicious, thank you for the meal! ✨

Today during lunchtime, I went to Waramen-tei, located between Keikyu Otorii Station and Suginoya Station for the first time in a while. It was around 12:30 p.m. and there was only one group waiting, so I was able to enter the restaurant without much of a wait. I purchased a meal ticket and ordered the mixed noodles (regular size) with an additional seasoned egg, which cost around 1000 yen. The restaurant only had about 8 counter seats, and they had the instructions on how to eat the noodles written in front of you. You mix in chili oil and vinegar, then mix it with the sauce at the bottom, creating a unique flavor that becomes addictive. However, since I usually go there after drinking nearby, my impression was a bit different this time. It's hard to describe, but I felt like something was lacking in the sauce. It's delicious and has an addictive taste, but it's different from ramen with a rich broth, which made it a bit challenging. I still want to go back after drinking again!

I saw a long line often and was curious, so it was my first visit. You buy a meal ticket and then take a seat. My companion ordered a large portion with egg topping, while I ordered a regular portion with extra char siu topping. The instructions on how to eat are posted right in front of the seat. It says to pour plenty of chili oil and vinegar. I followed the instructions and the taste was really good! It was delicious without being too heavy. It was around 6:30 pm on a Sunday and it was still not crowded. Thank you for the meal!

I visited around 12 o'clock on a holiday and there were 4 customers before me and 5 customers after me, so there was no line. The oil soba comes in regular (170g) and large (255g) portions for the same price. Once served, you add chili oil and vinegar from the condiments on the table. For regular, add chili oil 2 rounds and vinegar 3 rounds, while for large, it's 1.5 times that amount. Mix well before eating. The noodles are thick and chewy, served hot and delicious. The flavor is on the lighter side, so I customized it with extra chili oil, garlic, and sauce, but it still lacked a punch. I think I would have preferred it to be more covered in chili oil. Lastly, I received a complimentary Chitan Tan Tan as part of the lunch service. They give you an egg to mix in the Chinese soup, and you can add green onions and seaweed. Both the oil soba and Chitan Tan Tan had a simple flavor, just like their appearance.

I purchased the oil soba (extra large) using a food ticket. I add vinegar, chili oil, and garlic from the condiments on the table before eating. (Personally, adding garlic is a must!) Whenever I want to eat something hearty, I always come here. The staff is generally quiet but very nice. There are only about 7 seats at the counter, so sometimes you may have to wait outside depending on the time.

I went to a ramen shop I was looking forward to, but it was closed, so I decided to try another place. It was my first time trying Abura Soba (oil noodles) and I had no idea what to expect. Inside, I bought a ticket from the vending machine. I noticed many signed boards on the wall, and it seems even Sekai no Owari (a band) had visited. When I sat down, there were instructions on how to eat Abura Soba. I appreciated the helpful guidance. When the noodles arrived, I followed the instructions and mixed in the chili oil and vinegar. It had a unique and enticing aroma. The taste was indescribable and addictive. Personally, I think it would be a great way to end a night of drinking with a bowl of ramen. I finished it quickly and wished I had ordered a larger portion. Thank you for the delicious meal! I will definitely come back again.

This video is helpful: https://youtu.be/xt9vwjDR5fo. Located a 5-minute walk from Keikyu Namata Station. When it comes to Abura Soba in Kamata, it's Laughing Noodle House. There was a line before the store even opened! I accidentally ordered the Abura Soba Special (890 yen) with extra noodles! Half rice is free during lunchtime! I will definitely come back!

First, I followed the instructions on the sign to add two rounds of chili oil and three rounds of vinegar. The portion was generous, so I added more, resulting in a flavorful and delicious dish. The combination of richness and the refreshing taste of bonito vinegar made it so enjoyable that I could have kept eating. I should have come here sooner. Thank you for the meal. I will definitely be back.

Last week, I dragged my partner along to do what I wanted (lol), so this week it was my partner's turn. We started off at the Shinagawa Aquarium to watch the dolphin and sea lion shows, which were really cute up close. Then we headed over to this ramen restaurant called Warameentei. I don't usually go for oil-based ramen, but when we arrived, there was a 5-person wait even though it was before 2 pm. The anticipation was building up. I ordered the regular size with 170g of noodles, while the large size had 225g, and you could even go for an extra serving of 2 (normal) -> 3 -> 4 portions. The ramen arrived in just a few minutes. I mixed in some chili oil as per the instructions. The thick noodles were chewy and delicious. I finished it in no time. Apparently, they also offer complimentary egg drop soup during lunch, but I passed on it due to the high salt content. Overall, it was a great meal.

On May 24, 2022, around 11:30 in the morning, feeling like having pasta from "Zu" while riding a bicycle towards there, but then feeling lazy and changing my mind to have chicken nanban from "Tatsumi" instead. On the way to Tatsumi's place, passing by "Emen-Tei," where there are usually 4-5 people waiting outside around noon, but this time there were empty seats. So, I changed my mind again and decided to visit "Emen-Tei." Inside, there was a ticket machine on the left side, which was very helpful in indicating the noodle portion size. However, it would be great to have information on whether the weight is before or after boiling. I was surprised and ordered the "special" size of 340g. They also offered a lunch special (11:30-14:30) where you could choose one topping. I hurriedly chose spicy topping and observed the instructions on how to eat, including putting a lot of chili oil and vinegar. After following the instructions, I found the taste to be unique, not necessarily delicious, but intriguing. I realized I would need to try it a few more times to truly understand the flavor. Overall, it was an interesting experience, and I will definitely come back.

I visited a restaurant with someone I used to work with. They took me to a place they sometimes go to for a late lunch around 2 pm. The restaurant is located along the Kanpachi Avenue, around halfway between Kojiya Station and Ootorii Station. We were able to get in quickly since it was past lunchtime. The interior of the restaurant only has a counter and is quite small. I ordered the "Chashu Abura Soba (oil noodles) regular size" and when asked about toppings, I chose a seasoned egg. After a short wait, the oil noodles arrived. The volume of chashu was impressive. There are instructions on how to eat the noodles written in front of the counter, so I mixed in the chili oil and vinegar before eating. It was a standard oil noodles dish, easy to eat. The chashu had a good flavor and was satisfying to eat. I don't usually eat oil noodles much, but this one was easy to enjoy.

I had some business near Kojiya Station. It was past lunchtime when I decided to stop by this restaurant for a meal. The interior is quite small with only a counter. I ordered the "Char siu Abura Soba". When the Abura Soba arrived, the bowl filled with Char siu caught my eye. Following the instructions written in the shop, I added chili oil and vinegar before eating. The Char siu was a bit dry, but the flavor was delicious. The Abura Soba was traditional and tasty.

Located along the Kandai Street. Many people often park on the road, but let's stop because there is a lot of traffic on the Kandai Street. It seems to be featured on SEKAI NO OWARI Map, and inside the restaurant, there are autographed posters displayed. It would be interesting to imagine the four-member group eating here. There are about two people waiting in line. The restaurant has only seven counter seats. Surprisingly, the turnover rate is slow. Even though it's the third ramen shop, I had to wait for 20 minutes... Now, I ordered the "Abura Soba (large)" in regular size, and the large size is the same price. In addition, I chose a seasoned egg as a topping, which comes with a lunch service. After sitting down, the bowl was served in about 5 minutes. The noodles were piping hot. I poured plenty of chili oil, mixed it with vinegar, and mixed everything together. Delicious! But the taste is a bit blurry!? The chili oil is not very spicy. I added garlic. Oh, the flavor is clear now, delicious! The noodles are medium thickness, and once the flavor is determined, they slide down smoothly. Thank you for the meal.
