先日の締めは、横浜西口「京華楼」さんの四川坦々麺をいただきました。久しぶりの刀削麺は、やはり美味しかったです。
The other day, I finished off my meal with Szechuan Tantanmen at "Kyo Hua Lou" in Yokohama West Exit. It had been a long time since I had had tanzan-men, but it was still delicious.
刀削麺を食べながら、今は閉店している福島県東白川郡塙町の竹一食堂さんを思い出しました。「この店はタンメン屋ではありません」と店内に掲示されているのですが、多くの客はタンメンを注文するのです。
While eating the tanmen, I was reminded of Takeichi Shokudo in Hanawa Town, Higashishirakawa County, Fukushima Prefecture, which is now closed.
Although the sign inside the restaurant reads, "This is not a tamen restaurant," many customers still order tamen.
母は竹一さんのタンメンが好きで、父とわが家3人を含めた5人揃って2、3度一緒に食べたことが懐かしいです。3枚目の写真が伝説のタンメンです。そういえば、11月26日は父の命日、年月の過ぎ行く早さに驚かされました。
My mother loved Takeichi's tanmen, and I miss the two or three times that all five of us, including my father and three members of our family, ate it together.
The third picture is the legendary tanmen. Come to think of it, November 26th is the anniversary of my father's death, and I was surprised at how quickly the years have passed.
