AWATAMA, which manufactures and sells freeze-dried onion gratin soup, has opened "AWATAMA STAND", which sells To go onion soup in a wagon. Men and women who like onigra seem to be bustling every day.

What is offered here is the additive-free "onion gratin soup" only. You can taste Onigra like fast food , and the taste is just as it is .


As an Onigra fan, I can't overlook it, so I decided to go to AWATAMA STAND.

■ A WATAMA STAND is located along Omotesando Cat Street

AWATAMA STAND is located along "Cat Street", which is full of fashion, less than 10 minutes on foot from Harajuku Station. It's a style food stand that sells using a wagon car instead of a cafe, so when walking from Harajuku station, be careful of people and cars and stare at the left side.



■ Menu is only "onion gratin soup"

Of course, the menu at the restaurant is only "Onigura Soup" (350 yen per cup)! I feel confident and particular about the boldness.


■ Try to eat the special onigra

I ordered Onigra. Then, the staff will put hot water in the freeze-dried onigras soup and put it back. I see, that's what it means to be "fast food"! 30 seconds after ordering, my onigra is completed, super fast!


The soup, which is a mixture of plenty of Awaji onions that have been slowly simmered for 4 hours, is covered with bread with thick cheese. When I dip the bread in the soup and drink it ... Wow, the taste is gentler than I expected! The sweetness and umami of the onion is well exuded in the soup. As it is additive-free, it does not have an extra taste and has a refreshing aftertaste, so it goes well with cheese and bread. The taste is so authentic that you can't think of it as freeze-dried !


In addition, black pepper is spicy and adds an accent to the taste. Hmmm, this is irresistible to the pepper lover ... it's going to be addictive.

It's a To go, so it's perfect when you're hungry to hang out in Harajuku or when you're a little hungry. By the way, if you want to take it home without eating it on the spot, don't worry, you can have a separate cup of soup and bread without adding hot water.


■ Awatama-chan gets a bonus

While I was drinking the soup, I noticed a gaze staring at me. ...Hmm? What the hell is this yellow ...?


Actually, this child, Awatama-chan, is the official character of AWATAMA. "Yuru-chara" Awatama-chan, known to those in the know. I love the cute face. If you buy Onigura Soup at AWATAMA STAND, you will get all the can badges of Awatama-chan, so I got it too!


Even so, if freeze-drying is taken seriously, will it be so delicious ... I'm sorry. It would be good news for Onigra fans, including myself, that the authentic Onigura soup, which is hard to eat without going to a restaurant or cafe, can be eaten so easily.

AWATAMA STAND with warm onigras soup and cheerful staff. If you are planning to go to Harajuku-Omotesando, you are a little hungry, or you want to eat something warm, why not stop by?
