Tokyo 2018 Feb(14)

平日のランチ。アメリカで食べられない蕎麦なんかが嬉しい。ということで習志野の蕎麦屋へGo!
そうすけ」という名前の店です。かつ波奈の並び。隣は60年に渡り一度も入ったことがないサイゼリア。

こういう薄暗い店内って、すげー蕎麦屋っぽいよね。
卓ごとに仕切りがあって、窓際のカウンター席も一人づつ仕切ってある。静かなランチが好きな人は嬉しい。

ここ、2回目でしたけど... 2種類をお好きに組み合わせて。というのが楽しそう。
どれもサイズが半分くらいになってる。食が進まない日とかはどれかひとつだけでもOK。

そして、食が進まない胃弱(ホントは別の部位だが、言葉の綾)の母は、温かいかけそば。
こういうのもアメリカだと店で食べられない。以前「居酒屋 舞」の伊東さんは製麺工場の山下さんに生そばを特注していましたが... 蕎麦はアレルギー持ちが多いし加州ではあまり人気ないから、もう無いと思う。

こっちが確か妹の。
玉子とじ蕎麦、だったか? 三角の海苔はともかく、ナルトがなんだかシュールで新鮮。

父はざるそば。
フルサイズでもこんだけ。

そして、強欲でいっぺんに何でも試したい僕は、これです。
二食盛り&野菜天麩羅添えの「天ざる」です。
サンプル写真で緑色の蕎麦は茶蕎麦だと思ったら、よもぎ蕎麦だそうです。

野菜天麩羅はこんな。
精進揚げ状態ですが、衣の油+さっぱり蕎麦の相性がいいんですよね。ただ、よもぎ蕎麦は... あんまり蓬の風味が感じられませんでした。蕎麦自体も蕎麦粉の香りが弱くて細いうどんみたいでしたが、普段食べられない蕎麦は嬉しい。乾麺から茹でたり冷凍ものやカップ麺はあるんだけどさ。SF市内にうどん屋があっても蕎麦屋は無いし。

なんということもない地元の蕎麦屋さんですが、いろいろ選べるのが楽しいです。
両親は、このお店の配膳をやってる姐さんが明るくてお喋り好きだから気に入っているみたいです。

また訪れて、もっといろいろ「お好みセット」も試してみたいです。

    The 3rd reunion of your family was at the soba restaurant, wasn’t it ?
    It appears to be a long standing soba restaurant, I imagine.
    Anyway, you must have enjoyed a great time with your family and I wish you and all the family a healthy life from now on.

    BTW, the followings are FYI ;
    I met across a medical research on the web.

    “Behaviors, movements, and transmission of droplet-mediated respiratory diseases during transcontinental airline flights”
    Vicki Stover Hertzberg, Howard Weiss, Lisa Elon, Wenpei Si, Sharon L. Norris and The FlyHealthy Research Team
    PNAS March 19, 2018. 201711611; published ahead of print March 19, 2018.

    If you are anxious about catching a disgusting infection when you fly, a new research suggests your danger decreases accurately how close you are to the infected passenger.

    The authors say, if you have a seat in a row in front, a row in back, a couple of seats to the side, and your risk of catching sick goes up.
    "Passengers should not, however, worry about getting sick from somebody coughing five rows behind," said lead researcher fortunately.

    In addition, they advises keeping hydrated, since dry nasal passages are ready for infection.
    Another specialist recommends carrying a face mask with you all the time.
    "I like to take a mask with me, and if my neighbor is coughing, I try to wear the mask," he said.

    Have a safe flight !

    1. Best Denki sensei,

      Actually, my sister also came back several days during my stay in my parents’ home. Therefore, most of my staying period in Japan was continuous family reunion except a night I spent in Kamata. And this noodle shop must be historical indeed. We are not Narasino origin but city of Futtsu where has a serious problem of losing their population. But telling you the truth, we will not go back to that city of the middle of nowhere, for sure.

      Thank you for the information of the risk of the infection during the airborne. I think I have read the similar article on Business Insider… yes, I found it.

      It was as of March 21st. The title and URL are shown below.
      [Airplane passengers have an 80% chance of getting sick on a flight if they sit in the wrong spot, scientists have found]

      Basically, I am not much afraid of diseases infecting in the airplane. For example, TB is quite easy to be infected but simultaneously easy to be cured by tetracycline, plus PAS and isoniazid (I won’t tell you the details but I did know this very well…), or flu can be cured by Tamiflu® (oseltamivir) or the one you kindly prescribed me when I visited Okayama last time. The ones I am scared of are, for example, Ebola virus or something similar; high chance of lethal and painful symptoms.
      Otherwise, I’m almost done, except captured by terrorists and shown on Al Jazeera with wearing orange shirt, shortly chopped off my neck… but it won’t hurt as severe as the infection of Ebola, I suppose…

      Oh, BTW, United (before merger) was proud of acquiring HEPA filters on their aircraft! I have no crew at all how it's effective for preventing the infection... guess just "better than nothing"?? (LOL)
