(Translated by Google) While traveling in Nagoya, my husband and I visited Menya Hanabi Osu Branch for lunch on a Saturday. This popular restaurant sees lines forming shortly after opening, with seating mostly at the counter. Ordering was smooth via the touchscreen, which seemed to offer more leisurely selection than the ticket-based system. This time, we ordered the "DX Taiwanese Mazesoba." Its gorgeous bowl, colorfully piled with an egg yolk in the center, meat miso, garlic, fish powder, green onion, bamboo shoots, roasted pork, seasoned egg, and seaweed, was instantly appetizing.
The custom is to mix mazesoba thoroughly before eating. The chewy, thick noodles are intertwined with the rich meat miso and egg yolk, and the punchy flavors of the garlic and fish powder blend seamlessly. The more you eat, the more addictive it becomes. The seasoned egg is perfectly half-cooked, and the bamboo shoots and seaweed add texture and aroma. A little kelp vinegar, which is provided on the table, lightens the heavy flavor, making it enjoyable until the very end. Another great thing about this ramen is that when you finish your meal, you can add a little rice to the remaining ingredients to enjoy as "oi-meshi."
The restaurant is bright and clean, and the staff are attentive and helpful. Located within walking distance of Osu Kannon Station, it's easy to combine sightseeing with a visit, and I really felt its presence as a Nagoya specialty. This is a bowl that anyone wanting to fully enjoy Nagoya cuisine should definitely try.

名古屋旅行の際、夫婦で土曜日の昼食に「麺屋はなび 大須店」を訪れました。開店直後から行列ができる人気店で、席はカウンター中心。タッチパネルでスムーズに注文でき、食券方式よりもゆったり選べる印象でした。今回いただいたのは「DX台湾まぜそば」。卵黄が中央にのり、肉味噌、ニンニク、魚粉、ネギ、メンマ、チャーシュー、味玉、海苔が彩りよく盛られた豪華な一杯で、見た瞬間から食欲をそそります。
まぜそばはよく混ぜてからいただくのが流儀。もちもちの太麺に濃厚な肉味噌と卵黄が絡み、パンチのあるニンニクや魚粉の風味が一体となって、食べ進めるほどに中毒性を感じました。味玉の半熟具合も絶妙で、メンマや海苔が食感と香りの変化を添えてくれます。さらに卓上の昆布酢を少量かけると、重厚な味わいがスッと軽やかになり、最後まで飽きずに楽しめました。食べ終わりには、残った具材にご飯を少し加えて「追い飯」として味わえるのも魅力的です。
店内は明るく清潔で、スタッフの案内も丁寧。大須観音駅から徒歩圏内という立地も観光と合わせて訪れやすく、名古屋名物としての存在感を強く感じました。名古屋グルメを堪能したい方には必ず体験してほしい一杯です。
