Setagaya City, Tokyo, Japan｜Maruki Shokudō

I always noticed the shutters were down when I passed by, so I was worried whether they were open or not, but the store happened to be empty, so I finally went. There is only a counter inside the store, so if you go with a large group, you may have to wait. The menu is based on the idea of ​​adding toppings to Chinese noodles. I didn't know when I would be able to come again, so I ordered the special Chinese noodles. The toppings are seaweed, char siu, nitamago, menma, green onion, and naruto. The noodles are thin but have elasticity, so they are satisfying to eat. The char siu pork belly is also delicious. The menma is chewy and large, so it's satisfying to eat. The soup is just like Chinese noodles, so it's okay. No, the soup is really delicious Before I knew it, I had already finished eating. I was happy to be able to eat delicious Chinese noodles for the first time in a while.

Medium thick straight noodles -Dense and chewy noodles- Medium-thick noodles with medium added water, different from the recently popular low added water pattsun. Contains a lot of low amylose with chewy wheat. The noodles are hard. By adding more water and using chewy wheat, it is rolled harder and has a higher density. - I wish the start of chewing was a little softer - If the noodles had been boiled for just 10 seconds longer, I would have enjoyed the consistency of the noodles, which are soft at the beginning of the bite, but increase in resistance the more you chew. Noodle chewiness does not refer to the hardness of the noodles. The more you chew, the more the resistance of the noodles increases, and at a certain point it suddenly snaps off, which is the pleasurable feeling of chewing. Kosi noodles are noodles with strong stickiness. The noodles are compressed hard and are not chewy. According to the information on the internet, it is Mikawaya Seimen. I wonder if the craftsman who designed the noodles intended for the noodles to be boiled to be a little softer and stickier the more you chew. Chinese soba 800 yen

The char siu will melt in the pork belly. Really good. The balance is good, and you can feel the update in the nostalgia.
