Tantanmen specialty store "Tantanmen Gomaru" opened in Ginza, Tokyo on February 18th. For female customers, vegetable juice is served before meals, and in addition to paper aprons, hair elastics that bind hair are also available. I immediately tried the signboard menu "Gomaru Dandan Noodles" (850 yen).

■ Fresh vegetable juice before meals

First of all, vegetable juice and sesame seeds in a mini mortar will be brought in. * Vegetable juice is for female customers only



Juice, which is a combination of vegetables, fruits, and soy milk, protects the gastric mucosa while slowing the rise in blood sugar levels due to diet. It's perfect before eating spicy dandan noodles.

The juice of the day was lettuce, mizuna, cucumber, pineapple and soy milk. At the beginning, it had a refreshing vegetable taste, and the sweet and sour taste of pineapple and the mellowness of soy milk spread over the aftertaste, making it an easy-to-drink taste.


Sesame seeds in a mini mortar are used as toppings for dandan noodles. This is also a mini-sized pestle, and let's rub it while waiting for the dandan noodles.


■ Spicy and spicy dandan noodles!

Gomaru's Dandan noodle menu can be selected from 4 levels of spiciness (no spiciness, modest spiciness, regular, increased spiciness). This time I chose a standard regular.


The toppings are pork, green onions, bok choy, and Chinese pepper fried with seasonings. The generous amount of chili oil uses 2 types of oil (soybean oil and rapeseed oil) and 3 types of spices (cinnamon, star anise, and Japanese pepper) to create a rich flavor.

The first thing you feel when you eat the soup is the gorgeous scent of Chinese pepper and the spiciness that comes with it. Next, the rich flavor of the soup rushes in. The rich flavor and richness of sesame is condensed in the chicken base, and it is so delicious that you might inadvertently leave the noodles behind and drink them up.


The noodles are crispy and have a chewy and soft texture. It is a little thick and goes well with thick soup.


Also put in freshly ground sesame seeds. Not only the freshly scented fragrance, but also the joy of birth is added by the work done by myself, and it feels even more delicious.


Every time I swallow it, the spiciness flutters in my mouth, and if I eat a few mouthfuls, my tongue becomes tingling and my forehead begins to sweat. For those who say "I like spicy food!", I think it's a good idea to start by searching for "moderate spiciness" or "regular".

The store is located in the northern semi-basement of the Ginza Wing Building, 1-14-5 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo. Business hours are from 11:00 to 23:00, and the last order is 22:45. The number of seats is 36.
