01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
When a hearty appetite strikes, the signature mazesoba at Kikoroku is a dependable choice. The restaurant offers a generous pricing scheme where standard (200g), medium (300g), and extra-large (400g) portions all cost the same. The thick, satisfying noodles grip the rich tare sauce firmly. Once boiled, the noodles expand to around 1.5 times their raw weight, making portion selection your first key decision.
Mazesoba Varieties from Back Fat to Curry
Alongside standard mazesoba, the menu includes back-fat mazesoba with an extra layer of savory richness, and Taiwan mazesoba with a lively chili kick that stokes the appetite. On days when you crave warm spice paired with thick noodles, curry mazesoba is another option, coated in a concentrated sauce that practically demands white rice. For diners in the mood for broth, bowls such as toriton katsuo ramen and wonton chuka soba are also on offer.
Finishing Rice and Table Condiments
Toppings feature tender meat confit, rolled pork belly chashu, and minced garlic, while adding a dash of the house-made numbing chili powder is a popular way to alter the flavor profile mid-bowl. Once the noodles are finished, a complimentary small scoop of rice can be dropped into the bowl to soak up every last drop of leftover sauce. The shop accepts cash only and sits on the 2th floor of a building near Narimasu Station, making it an easy solo stop from lunch into the evening.
