TKG to TKM: Top 3 Tamago Kake Men Trends

Junky kamatama style!　Eat up the voluminous noodle with gusto / Chinooka Soba Sen-no-Tori (Ikejiri-Ohashi)

Chuka-Soba Sen-no-Chicken opened in 2010 as the second brand of the famous gutsy restaurant “Senrigen” (Tohokuzawa). The soup is full of chicken flavor and the noodles are thick and handmade. The “Kamatama Aburasoba” is a limited menu item available only at night.

The noodles are served hot, and an egg yolk peeks out from the noodles. One would have thought that this was another TKM dish that would be served with noodles, egg, and sauce, but as one stirred the noodles with chopsticks, a hidden weapon lurking at the bottom of the noodle revealed itself!

The simple appearance of the noodle and egg yolk is transformed into an oyu-soba with a junky atmosphere!　As I stirred the noodles, the egg yolk, sauce, and oil mixed well with the thick wavy noodles that “Chino Chicken” prides itself on.

The sauce is a combination of three kinds of soy sauce and high quality chicken oil, making it mellow and rich. The mellow aroma of the sauce is also wafted over the bowl. Chashu pork, pickled bamboo shoots, and chopped onion are the supporting ingredients, but they also function as textural accents as you slurp down the voluminous noodles. While enjoying the various ingredients, I was able to finish the dish without getting bored.

Looking around the restaurant, one can see male customers ordering beer and enjoying “Kamatama Aburasoba” with their food. ……TKG is a dish suitable for the morning, but TKM will also be a reliable friend for alcoholic beverages. Incidentally, this menu item can be ordered with “fried garlic” and “garimayo (garlic mayonnaise)” on a separate plate (free of charge). If you want to shift to a more junky direction, by all means, ask for them.
