Azumaya 東屋 东屋
Keisuke Tanigawa
A session of ‘wanko soba’ involves a waitress standing by your table, serving you soba noodles in small bowls until you simply can’t fit any more. The practice became known as a kind of eating contest in the postwar years, when the city of Morioka apparently pulled out all the stops to attract attention to its economic plight. Its origins, however, can be traced back to the tradition of serving soba to a large amount of guests at the end of a banquet. Evidencing both true Japanese hospitality and the notion that overindulgence is a pretty common tendency among us humans, wanko soba is an essential experience for adventurous gourmands. Serving noodles since 1907, Azumaya is where you can test your mettle while the waitresses cheer you on. The average male customer finishes 50 to 60 bowls – think you can do better?
