Abura Soba (油そば) literally translates to “Oil Noodles”. Doesn’t sound all that appetizing, does it?
Those who don’t know about this Tokyo cuisine might be confused by its name and appearance: it looks like a pile of noodles with a few toppings…… where is the soup? Give it a try, and you might be in for one of the most delicious and addictive types of ramen you have ever had. And you may add chili if you like spicy!!
