Located in Osaka Business Park, Twin 21 is a popular spot for lunch among office workers, with its many dining options filling up during lunchtime. One of the restaurants in the building serves delicious soba noodles that are not only tasty but also satisfying in portion size, perfect for hungry office workers. It is located on the 3rd floor of Twin 21 and offers a variety of affordable and appetizing lunch menus. One of their specialties is the "Soba Meat Dipping with Spicy Oil Flavor" (880 yen), where you can choose from spicy oil, premium sansho pepper, or yuzu pepper flavors. As a lunch special, customers can also get a side of rice (small) if desired. The dish is topped with plenty of white and green onions, and the dipping sauce contains three types of meat - fatty, lean, and pork belly - creating a balanced and flavorful broth. Initially, you dip the soba noodles in the broth to enjoy the rich aroma and umami of the three meats. The spicy oil flavor adds an extra kick to stimulate your appetite. To enhance the flavor experience, try adding deep-fried julienned burdock root into the soba noodles. The aroma of the burdock root will spread in your mouth, keeping the dish interesting until the last bite. Despite containing 1.5 times the amount of regular soba noodles, the soba noodles are made from carefully selected ingredients such as soba flour, water, and salt, ensuring deliciousness until the end. While it is also delicious to mix a raw egg into the broth, I opted to enjoy it with a bowl of rice topped with raw egg. The flavorful broth was so good that I couldn't resist drinking it until the end, and I even ordered a bowl of soba soup. From the table, you can enjoy views of Osaka Castle and the surrounding skyscrapers. With a belly full of delicious soba noodles, I felt energized and ready to tackle the afternoon's work, although the fullness also made me a bit sleepy.
