"Ultra-Wide Abura Soba" at Taiseiya, an Iekei Ramen Shop in Okachimachi
Overview
This article introduces the "Ultra-Wide Abura Soba" (超幅広油そば), a dish on the menu at Taiseiya, an iekei ramen shop in Okachimachi.
Okachimachi sits between Ueno and Akihabara. The area centers on Okachimachi Station on the JR Yamanote and Keihin-Tohoku Lines. Every day, crowds pass through the Ameyoko shopping street, which runs toward Ueno, and the many restaurants clustered around the station. Within the wider Ueno area, it's a popular spot for a casual meal after work or while out shopping.
Taiseiya is an iekei ramen shop in Okachimachi. "Iekei ramen" is a style of ramen known for its tonkotsu-shoyu (pork bone and soy sauce) broth and thick noodles, and it has a large following, especially in the Tokyo metropolitan area. The style is known for its rich flavor and for letting diners adjust the taste to their liking. It has long been a favorite among ramen fans.
This article looks at the shop's abura soba. Abura soba is a type of soupless noodle dish. Instead of being served in broth, the noodles are tossed in the sauce and oil at the bottom of the bowl, so you can fully enjoy their texture and presence. Because the noodles and sauce come together as one, it offers a different experience from ramen eaten in soup.
The name of Taiseiya's abura soba includes the word "ultra-wide." In abura soba, the noodles are arguably the star of the dish, and the name neatly captures this one's main feature. Add the fact that it comes from an iekei ramen shop, and it's a bowl worth trying.
If you're looking for somewhere to eat in the Okachimachi or Ueno area, or you're a fan of iekei ramen or abura soba, check out the "Ultra-Wide Abura Soba" at Taiseiya.
