Experiences during the trip
I had Taiwanese mazesoba for dinner at "Menya Kokoro Ueno" located about a 10-minute walk from my accommodation at Grids Tokyo Ueno Station.
This bowl, perfectly combining junkiness and umami, overwhelms first-timers with its appetizing visuals and aroma.
The thick noodles are chewy and blend well with the sauce, creating a rich yet addictive flavor when mixed with egg yolk, green onions, garlic, fish powder, and minced meat.
The spiciness is mild, but it has a nice zing at the end, providing just the right punch on a tired night. Adding a splash of vinegar mid-meal brings a refreshing touch, allowing me to enjoy it without getting bored until the end.
Topping it off with a free addition of rice at the end boosts the satisfaction level even further. The volume is just right, making it a perfect dish for a hearty night.
The distance from the hotel is just right, making it ideal for a light stroll through Ueno at night. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to casually enjoy the local specialty mazesoba in Tokyo!!
