Let's eat "Setsubun soba" for Setsubun
Setsubun this weekend (February 3rd). In addition to bean-maki and ehomaki, there is also the practice of eating "Setsubun soba".
That's why this time, I'm going to decide on the
No. 1 cospa near convenience stores that you can easily buy! Eat and compare "Kakiage Soba" from 7-ELEVEN, Lawson, and FamilyMart.
I bought 7-ELEVEN "Katsuo Dashi Kakiage! Kakiage Soba that is proud of Koshi" (398 yen, tax included, same below), Lawson "Sakura Ebi no Kakiage Soba" (399 yen), FamilyMart "Range Kakiage" Soba "(398 yen). Heat it in the microwave and you're ready to go.
◆ Odashi is 7-ELEVEN's overwhelming victory
First of all, when you compare the taste of "Otsuyu", 7-ELEVEN has an overwhelmingly strong soup stock flavor! It is sweet and mellow. As expected, the product name is "Katsuo Dashi", which is just appealing to the front.
The soup stock has a very good flavor
Lawson is also good, but the scent that comes out of the mouth is stronger in 7-ELEVEN. FamilyMart has the most salty taste and has a crisp and strong taste. The scent of the rocky shore that comes out of the wakame seaweed is also heard, which is delicious, but in terms of the depth of the soup stock, 7-ELEVEN's victory is overwhelming.
◆ Soba is by a small margin Lawson
Next, eat and compare the essential "soba". 7-ELEVEN is thick and soft, crispy and crispy soba. Lawson is elastic and elastic, and FamilyMart is thin and has moderate hardness.
I think there are individual tastes, but I liked Lawson's texture because it felt like it was the closest to eating soba at a restaurant.
◆ Kakiage is FamilyMart
Finally, compare the "kakiage" with onions and carrots. The one that tasted the best was the kakiage of FamilyMart, the smallest of the three companies.

Suck the soup in your mouth and put it in your mouth to melt it. And the richness and aroma of the spreading oil. It's similar to the thick-fried 7-ELEVEN, but it has a slightly savory aroma that makes it look like it was deep-fried by FamilyMart.
Lawson's kakiage was also delicious. It was the thickest, and even if the soup was soaked, a little crispy and fluffy texture remained. The crispy sakura shrimp flavor is also strong and authentic. However, if you want the aroma unique to kakiage, FamilyMart is better.

◆ Overall victory ...
Based on the above, the No. 1 cospa is ...
Lawson's "Sakura Shrimp Kakiage Soba"! Lawson had the best overall balance. The soup, soba, and kakiage are all delicious. The price is only 1 yen higher than the other two companies, but I think Lawson has the best taste of kakiage.
Of course, 7-ELEVEN and FamilyMart soba are also delicious, so please eat your favorite soba on Setsubun day. It's thin and long like buckwheat noodles, so that you can spend your time in good health!
