Mazesoba


Mazesoba, also known as Taiwan mazesoba or abura soba, is a dry noodle dish made with a sauce of soy sauce and pork lard, and various toppings including raw garlic, raw egg, cheese, and minced meat, which are mixed with the noodles before eating.
The largest mazesoba chain in the world is Kokoro Mazesoba.
The dish was invented in 2008 at a shop called "Menya Hanabi" in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture. The shop owner was trying to make Taiwan Ramen and had already made the meat for it. But it didn't go with the soup. When they were going to throw the meat away, one of the part time workers said, "What if you just put it on top of noodles?" From that start, it was perfected over time into the dish we know today.
