みなさま、昨日は仕事がはかどりましたか？マイクロソフトのメールシステムがダウンして仕事になりませんでした。なのでお昼に仕事を諦めて岩本町に来ました、いわゆる秋葉原ですね。
As you may know, Microsoft 365 that is a total office application for business had trouble all day long yesterday. Outlook outage suffered our daily tasks. I didn't send and receive any email internally and externally. I gave up working in the morning and visited Iwamotocho for lunch on the way home.
そう、岩本町スタンドそば、別名味自慢です。大人気の路麺でしたが、店長の急逝により閉店、一度別の方で復活したものの、一年続きませんでした。最近また再々オープンしたんですよね。平日しか開いてないので、ここぞとばかりに訪問です。
This is STAND SOBA. It was a Romen activity, that was why I visited here. Iwamotocho STAND SOBA was a popular stand soba noodle restaurant but closed due to unexpected death of the master few years ago. Another person revived it but it didn't last a year. Recently, the other rivived it again. These show how be loved it was. This current STAND SOBA opens on weekdays, I couldn't visit here on Romen Day.
券売機は現金のみ。サラリーマンがターゲットならキャッシュレスを導入しないとこれからは厳しい気がします。
The food ticket vending machine accepts only cash, unfortunately. If the main target customer is business persons, they have to install cashless payment system.
券売機はシンプル。天ぷらは値段毎に分類されてます。残念ながらげそ天と春菊天は売り切れでした。
As you saw, the ticket vending machine indicates rough tempura categories. The board navigates what category of tempura you buy at the macine. Unfortunately, geso-ten and shungiku-ten were sold out already.
師匠の柳橋さん曰く、QR席は健在でした。
When I visited here, it was full inside and I needed to wait outside for few minutes. During I was eating soba noodles, people on the upper floor left. Yanagibashi-san said the upper floor as QR seat.
お蕎麦はカルディでも購入できるきねうち十割そばを使っているようです。
I am sorry for being hard to see, but they use KINEUCHI JUWARI SOBA. You can buy it at KALDI.
ナス天そばにしました。
I ordered nasu-ten soba noodles. It was 550 yen.
最初は冷凍麺かと思ったんですが、先ほど書いたようにきねうちの十割そばの茹麺です。悪くはないんですけどね。
I thought that the soba noodle was prepared from frozen soba. But as I mentioned it was prepared from KINEUCHI Juwari soba noodles. The KINEUCHI utilizes pregelatinization technology. It lasts longer remaining good texture despite of already boiled. It was not bad but not my preference.
粗挽き唐辛子は岩本町スタンドそばのアイコンの一つ。お汁は結構甘めですね。出汁の風味もしっかりします。味は以前のスタンドそばに似てませんが、まあ、それはそれ。そんなこと気にするマニアは無視して頑張って欲しいです。
I put rough cut red pepper. It is one of the symbols of Iwamotocho STAND SOBA. The soup had much sweetness with rich dashi flavor but the taste was significant different from the original soup. However, who cares the similarities. It is still popular. However, I may never visit here again.
良い一日を。路麺の日ですよ〜
Thank you for reading. Have a nice day and enjoy a Romen Day.
