What is "additive-free fried noodles" made from raw noodles?

“Yakisoba” is a favorite of both adults and children. It is familiar as home-cooked food and is also a staple of street food menus. The burning scent of the sauce is irresistible! On the other hand, isn't the image of "yakisoba = junk food" strong? It's stir-fried, it's thick, and there aren't many vegetables.

A store that may completely change the image of yakisoba has appeared in Tokyo. Its name is "Additive-free Yakisoba BAR Cerona". As the name suggests, "additive-free yakisoba" is the signature menu .

I went to the shop to sample what kind of yakisoba it was.

Shirokane Takanawa Station, which has many child-rearing households, is the closest to Cerona. Only the counter has 15 seats in the store. The iron plate for heat retention is arranged according to the shape of the counter, and you can eat the food while it is warm.

By the way, the yakisoba on the signboard menu is usually 950 yen (lunch / tax included), which is a price that makes me feel a little relaxed for the author who feels like "yakisoba = common people's cuisine". There is also a large serving (1,050 yen / same as above), and you can add 4 types of toppings (150 yen for pork, 50 yen for cabbage, 200 yen for domestic black beef beef streaks, 150 yen for Kujo green onions).

What I asked for was simply normal serving. It seems that it will be baked on the iron plate for cooking in front of you.

Next to the egg, I fry the noodles and ingredients ... This noodle is a raw noodle that I have never seen in yakisoba. So it starts with boiling. Boil for 3 minutes, drain and spread on an iron plate.

You don't see this kind of scene at a yakisoba restaurant, right?

Next to the noodles, "Avocado Pork" from Chiba Prefecture, which is fed with avocado, and domestic cabbage cut into zaku are baked separately and placed on the noodles when cooked properly. It's more like okonomiyaki than yakisoba because it's put on without mixing.

When the sauce is all over, topped with green paste from Yoshinogawa, Tokushima Prefecture, fishmeal that is an original blend of domestic bonito flakes, dried bonito flakes, and mackerel flakes, homemade tenkasu with roasted squid and shrimp, and homemade chopped ginger. Finally, add the fried egg and it's done.

To be honest, it looks like "fried egg fried noodles" that you saw somewhere ...

First of all, the texture of the noodles is unique. Probably because it is raw noodles, it has a chewy texture. And the smoothness of being sucked in smoothly may be like ramen. The crispy burnt "Okage" part is also insanely delicious!

As for the taste, in one word, it is "normally delicious." However, it's a taste that you can never make at home . It doesn't have the sharp characteristic of kore, but each material is perfectly balanced, and I feel that the quality of each material is high. Certainly, there was little junk food feeling, and it was my first experience of yakisoba.

Since it is additive-free and light, I think that children can eat it with confidence. However, it is regrettable that there are only high chairs in the store ...

Lunch time is only this yakisoba and garnish salad (sold separately). They say they don't To go if they want them to eat freshly made.

And at dinner time, it will be an "iron plate bar" where you can easily enjoy tapas (small plate dishes / 500 yen and up) using seasonal ingredients. The best recommendation is the grilled dish that is baked right in front of you. Starting with "Grilled Japanese Black Beef" (150g (5.29oz) / 2,400 yen and up), beef tongue and pork are baked on the iron plate in front of you (the parts and price will change depending on the purchase of the day).

Expectations are high for this meat. It's run by the same company as "Meet Yazawa ", a procession hamburger steak. Unfortunately, I couldn't taste the grill, but when I got the "Kuroge Wagyu Meatball" (1,200 yen), the meat was delicious and delicious.

The alcohol menu is mainly wine, which is typical of Bar style. The lineup is quite abundant for the store area. Yakisoba that can be combined with wine is quite rare, isn't it? It is a shop that shows different faces during the day and at night.

The concept of the store was decided by taking inspiration from "Bal culture (how to enjoy drinking around restaurants)" in Barcelona, Spain. Therefore, if you look closely at the store name, you can see the scale. Bar Cerona, Bar Cerona, Bar Cerona, ... see.
