This time, I visited a new place located a 7.8-minute walk from Shibuya Station, right in the heart of Shibuya, a place that grabs the stomachs of young people with its oily noodles. Its name is [Nihon Yuto Shibuya Headquarters]. When I first heard the name, I thought, "Huh, is it the Metropolitan Police?" What is this tough company? But when I looked it up, it turned out to be INGS, part of the Hayashida group. Yes, sorry about that. INGS really did it... So, they finally have oily noodles in Shibuya! I thought it would be crowded, so I went at around 2:00 pm, and there were 9 people in line. Of course, it's popular. It took about 20 minutes to wait, and I entered around 2:10 pm. The interior of the restaurant only has counter seats, with 16 seats in an L-shape. The opening hours are weekdays, Monday to Thursday from 11:00 am to 11:00 pm, and Friday to Sunday and holidays from 11:00 am to 7:00 am the next day, with a sign inside showing the unique operating hours. The default oily noodles cost ¥850, and the Kama Tamayo oily noodles cost ¥780 and up, which is quite a reasonable price for Shibuya Center-gai. When I saw the prices at the ticket machine, I froze for 2 seconds. Since it was my first visit, I decided to order both the regular oily noodles for ¥850 and the mentaiko butter Kama Tamayo oily noodles for ¥1000, so I could compare them with my friend. When I handed over the tickets, the cute staff member asked, "How much noodles would you like?" My friend and I were a bit confused, but we decided to stick with the default amount. It seems that you can adjust the amount of noodles for free, with 200g or 300g at the same price. If we didn't have plans afterwards, I would have gone for 300g... but for this visit, we both ordered 200g. It took 7 minutes and 56 seconds to be served (I happened to be playing with the stopwatch with my friend). They managed to serve us in less than 10 minutes, even though the place was full and there were waiting customers. I was impressed and started by eating the oily noodles while reading the instructions on the table. Oh, what can I say? It might sound exaggerated, but as expected from the Hayashida group, the noodles are delicious. They seem to be medium-thick curly noodles with a slight wave. When I saw the boxes of noodles stacked in the waiting area, I noticed the name [Sugano Seimenjo]! Wait, isn't Sugano Seimenjo's medium-thick curly noodles unusual? Most popular places in Center-gai are 80% [Mikawa-ya Seimen], 20% [Kokoro no Aji Shokuhin], so Sugano Seimenjo, which has been gaining popularity recently, is a surprise. I was fascinated by this unexpected twist. The oily noodles come with 4.5 pieces of bamboo shoots, chopped green onions, and slices of pork thigh chashu. There were about 2 slices of pork, and they had a bit of chewiness, with a slightly lean texture. I recommend removing the meat for those who are retired or have poor teeth. It's not tough, as the lean meat is cooked before being served, so it has a bit of a chewy texture. Please forget about the above, as almost 99% of the customers were in their 20s. Just remember that you can choose between 200g and 300g of noodles. At almost the same time, my friend's order, the mentaiko butter Kama Tamayo oily noodles, arrived. It had an egg yolk in the center, powdered cheese, mentaiko, chopped seaweed, and chopped green onions on top. It tasted more like mentaiko spaghetti than I expected. I wasn't sure how the cheese would come out depending on the person, but I personally thought it would be delicious even without cheese or with it served separately. I couldn't resist taking a bite from my friend's dish. The charm of oily noodles lies in slurping them while changing the taste to satisfy your cravings. I added about 1.5 turns of chili oil and vinegar from the table, sprinkled a little chopped green onions and garlic that were placed separately, and mixed it all together. At the beginning, the soy sauce flavor ===========
