土曜日は路麺の日
神奈川県川崎市の中野島駅に来ました。
I am supposed to do a Romen activity when I am in Tokyo on weekends because I have led Saturday is Romen Day campaign. I got off at JR Nakanoshima Station. Nakanoshima area is in Tama ward, Kawasaki city.
ろかタワー散歩♪
Let me start Roca Tower Sampo. It was fine weather yesterday.
川を見たら必ず立ち止まります。
I definitely stop by when I saw river because I love fishing and was a bass angler.
星川製麺 彩です。2024年に一度来てますが臨時休業でした。今回は事前にXで営業日を確認しました。
This is Hoshikawa Noodle Factory Aya. I visited here in 2024, however, it was temporary closed unfortunately. Therefore, I checked availability on X before this time.
ここは名前の通り製麺所が経営する路麺です。ラーメン、うどん、そば、焼きそば、焼うどん、なんでもあります。めちゃめちゃ安い！
This Romen is run by the noodle factory as its name. Thay have various voodles like ramen noodles, udon noodles, soba noodles and yakisoba noodles. Take a look this menu. The price range is super low although Reiwa era.
この方が女将ですね。持ち帰りの焼きそばが一番人気のようでした。注文の仕方はちょっと独特で注文用の紙に書いて渡します。PayPayが使えるのは便利です！
Two people operated preparing noodles. It seems this female staff would be Okami. This Romen looks really popular because many people were eating noodles and waiting for noodles they ordered. It seems that yakisoba noodles for few portions to go was the most popular. The ordering system was a bit unique, you need to write your order to a template paper on the counter. If you didn't understand how to order, you should observe how others to order or ask a staff. PayPay was available to pay.
外にテーブルが4、5つありました。夏場は厳しそうですね💦
There were 4, 5 tables outside for eating noodles there. It would be hard to eat noodles in summer because crazy hot. That was the reason why I visited here yesterday before summer.
天ぷらそば。天ぷらはかき揚げです。
I ordered tempura soba noodles. It was 380 yen. It is so cheap, isn't it? The tempura was kakiage type. The amount soba noodle was enough.
こんな感じ。
The location is like this.
ちょっとピンボケです。
そばは小麦粉多めだと思いますが食感は普通の茹で麺よりも良いですね。さすが製麺所ってところでしょうか。お汁は独特な風味で、多分自家製だとは思いますがよく分かりません。コスパ良しで人気なのも納得です。リベンジ成功、ごちそうさまでした。
The camera's focus was out of the soba noodles because I was not able to check the screen of my smartphone due to the fine weather. The texture of the soba noodle was chewy and better than ordinary boiled-soba noodle products produced by a noodle factory. I am pretty sure that the soba noodles contains much wheat flour and less buckwheat flour but it doesn't matter. The Hoshikawa Noodle Factory seems to have a capability to produce good noodles. I felt the soup was made by themselves probably, it had a bit unique taste. I am pretty sure that why here is so popular because the satisfaction per cost is quite high.
学校給食に麺を卸しているようですが、このトラックは使って無さそうでした。
This noodle factory probably sell their noodles to restaurants and for school meals but the truck for delivery their noodle looks not being used.
土淵ヲ経テ高石柿生村方面。江戸時代の標識でしょうか。
This road sign would be built many years ago, maybe in the Edo era.
いなげやとサミットに立ち寄って干しそばやレモンケーキを探します。干しそば一つゲットしました。
I stopped by Inageya and Summit, grocery stores to look for dried soba noodle products, dried broth products, and lemon cakes. I bought a dried soba noodle product that I have never tried.
さ、帰ります。
I went back my home town.
良い一日を。
Thank you for reading. Have a nice day.
