Marusho

Taiwan maze soba is in. Abura soba has always been a variety of ramen that has been missing from Osaka, but not any longer. At the time of writing, I've been to several shops in Osaka specializing it, and I'm sure more will open before I even post this.

What is Taiwan maze soba? It's a form of abura soba that has ground meat, shredded seaweed, onions, and chives, all with a raw egg sitting on top. There's some spice usually mixed in to make it have a wee bit of a kick. Marusho opened in Esaka in 2014, but several months later they opened a second branch in Shin Osaka, making it just that much easier for me to visit.

台湾まぜそばははやっていますね。大阪には油そばの店がいつも少ないです。でも、最近台湾まぜそば専門店が転々できてきています。

台湾まぜそばとは何でしょうか？ミンチ、海苔、タマネギ、ニラなど乗っている油そばです。一番上に生玉子が乗っています。あと、いろんなスパイスが混ざっているので、ピリ辛のが多いです。マルショウは２０１４年に江坂で開店しましたけど、何ヶ月後新大阪で二号店ができました。ほんで、行きやすくなりました。

The Bowl
Time for the verdict. This was my first bowl of Taiwan maze soba, and it set the scene well. The noodles were thick and slightly fat. They had a glean to them given by the raw egg, and it helped them capture stray chives and seaweed as they rotated around the bowl. It had a good spice and was a bit salty overall. Luckily they provided vinegar on the side that cut the saltiness and mellowed the bowl out for its last few bites. With the remaining sauces and toppings, I was given ato meshi, a bit of extra rice that is becoming more common to soak up the last juicy bits.

結局どうだったでしょうか？私の初めての台湾まぜそばで、うまかったです。麺が太くてちょっと平打ちでした。生玉子でちょっと輝いて、散らしているニラと海苔を絡んでいました。全体的にピリ辛でちょっと塩っぱかったですけど、用意してくれたお酢を入れたら、柔らかくなりました。残っているタレにあとめしを入れて、最後のトッピングまで食べれました

Would I Go Again?
Yeah, this was a good Taiwan maze soba, and I would happily bring someone to introduce them to the style.

かなりうまいまぜそばだったので、友達を連れて行きたいです。

Should You Go?
If you haven't tried Taiwan maze soba yet, go to Marusho.

台湾まぜそばをまだ食べたことがない方、ぜひマルショウに行ってください。
