At Kirin Temple, I had a large serving of Abura Soba. I had heard about how to eat Abura Soba before, but I had never really paid much attention to it. Today, I happened to be reading a magazine and came across a section about it. It said, "You need to add at least this much vinegar to bring out the true flavor." "What?!" This was the first time I had been given such specific instructions, so I added the vinegar as directed. Surprisingly, it didn't make it too sour. It was delicious.

I was walking around Senbayashi looking for lunch, thinking about having ramen when I came across this shop and decided to go in. I had tried oil noodles for the first time recently and was surprised by how delicious they were. I was curious about what the oil noodles at this shop would taste like, and I was not disappointed. The oil noodles here were really delicious! One of the great things about oil noodles is that you can adjust the acidity and oiliness to your liking. I prefer a bit of acidity, so I added extra vinegar.

Located about a 7-minute walk from Nihonbashi Station, "Abura Soba Kirinji Sennichimae Store‼️" is a new restaurant that has been open for about a month. This time, I ordered the Abura Soba with half-cooked egg and Tamago Kake Gohan (TKG). I sprinkled vinegar and chili oil, mixed it well from the bottom to ensure it blends evenly, and then ate it. It had been a while since I last had Abura Soba, but the noodles were thick and chewy!! It was not as heavy as I had previously thought, and I could eat it lightly.

I ate it after a long time! It was still delicious! The warm version is the best! It was hot outside, so the light noodles were very good. The price was reasonable, the turnover of customers was good so there was no waiting time, and the service was fast, it was all good!

The oil soba specialty shop is always crowded with tourists due to its great location. Despite being constantly full, the turnover is fast so the wait time is short. It is said that after eating the normal oil soba three times, you will get hooked. I tried adding more vinegar and chili oil this time, but personally, I think one round is the best. If you go for two rounds, the vinegar might be a bit strong. The portion size is small, so I recommend getting a large serving. You can finish it in less than 5 minutes, so it's good for food hopping.

Today's first candidate restaurant had about 10 people waiting in line, so I had to give up. I needed to adjust my timing a bit more. Next, I headed to "Abura Soba Kirinji Sennichimae", which opened in June 2023. It was also crowded, but I managed to slip into a counter seat. - Abura Soba + Lunch Set = 1,100 yen I have tried the topping menu at other Kirinji locations, but I had never tried the lunch set before, so I decided to give it a shot. As always, the abura soba was reliably delicious. Following the proper etiquette, I added vinegar and chili oil and mixed it all together. It left quite an oily impression. The lunch set allows you to choose between "white rice or tamago kake gohan," so I chose the latter and it came with three small pieces of fried chicken. While the abura soba alone felt a bit lacking, this set left me feeling satisfactorily full. I shudder to think about the calorie count. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. Looking at Instagram, it seems they have limited edition menu items exclusive to this store, so I would like to try them if I have the chance. Let's strive on the path we take, so that we may finish without regret.

"I visited the newly opened "Kirinji Sennichimae Store" on June 1st and tried their "Abura Soba" (780 yen). The menu includes Abura Soba for 780 yen, with options to add toppings such as all toppings for an additional 300 yen, half-boiled egg for 100 yen, kimchi for 100 yen, extra meat for 200 yen, extra noodles for 50 yen, double noodles for 100 yen, and triple noodles for 200 yen. The sauce is a low viscosity soy sauce-based sauce that coats the thick noodles well, with a nice balance of soy sauce flavor. Mixing vinegar and chili oil from the table condiments adds a refreshing touch to the slightly light and refreshing taste. The noodles are thick with a wavy texture, chewy and elastic with a good firmness. The chashu pork is tender and well seasoned. You can also adjust the flavor with the table condiments like spicy miso and grated garlic. By mentioning the password tweeted on Twitter, you can get a free half-boiled egg as a service."

Neither good nor bad, I probably wouldn't choose to have the oil ramen.
