Abura Gakkai is, hands down, the best “abura soba” in Tokyo. “Abura soba” is a new type of noodle dish, where the soup normally existent in ramen is substituted by an oil based sauce. But don’t worry, it is less greasy than the idea suggest and the oil element is necessary for the noodles to be more easily eaten (some say it has less calories than a normal ramen). This shop has a recommended way to eat the soba (it is written in some signs on the store). First, you should put a round of “rayu”, a Japanese chili oil, and a round of vinegar. Then, you should mix it very nicely and eat it while still hot. This is a treat. HOWEVER, please notice that the store is very small - three tables for 4 and 5 crammed counter seats. Don’t come in groups over 4. Also, interestingly, the same music (Lupin III theme song) will be playing on loop... forever, really.

Best abura soba ever! We stumbled upon this place one night and we fell in love with it! We've been here three times in total during our stay in Tokyo and every time I tried a different dish, all of which turned out to be amazingly good! Not only the dishes are really good, they're also cheap raging from 600~ to 1000~ yen and quite big! Every time we walked out of the place we felt happy and our bellies were filled ! The place is also very characteristic due to the fact the is very small and with ground level tables where you have to remove your shoes and sit on the tatami. As I said the place is very small hence busy most of the time especially during the day due to the vicinity to the Waseda University.

To me this is just the best 油そば there is. It's tasty, filling and not expensive. Its usually crowded with people waiting outside, specially during the week at lunch time since its very close to Waseda University. I would recommend going at night or Sundays. The place is very small so there is no much sitting space. Prepare to seat on low tables on tatami mats (not recommended for very tall people with long legs) xD

こちらは、2010年に創業した、早大生を中心にワセメシとして人気を誇る行列店、現在では都内5店舗を展開する油そば専門店『武蔵野アブラ學会 早稲田総本店』 場所は、東京メトロ「早稲田駅」から徒歩10分くらい。都電早稲田駅の目の前で新目白通り沿い。目立つ看板が目印。 池袋店には過去に何回か行って好印象だったので、油そばのテイクアウトをしようと総本店に平日11時半ちょい前に初訪問。 店内は、昭和レトロな雰囲気。 カウンター5席、4人用の座敷テーブル3卓。 殆ど若い学生達で賑っており、ほぼ満席。 入口入って右手の券売機で ○ 武蔵野油そば 大盛 ¥640 をポチッて、テイクアウト用と伝えて女性スタッフに手渡す。 並と大盛が同料金なのは嬉しい。 すると、女性スタッフから「すぐ食べますか?電子レンジ用にしますか?」と聞かれたが、すぐ食べることを伝える。 札を渡され「外で待っててください。」と顔も見ずに言われ、店の外で待つことに。 確かに店内は狭く、立って待つスペースはない。 以前美味かった記憶で来たが、がっかり。 残念ながら、接客レベルは学生相手の延長。 外で待つこと約10分。 スタッフから呼ばれ、札と引き換えに商品を貰うが、容器がメッチャ小さい。 並と大盛が同料金って、、少ないから?笑 コスパ良し、と思って期待したぶん、余計にマイナスの印象が強い。 職場で容器をオープン。 所狭しと具材がチャーシュー、メンマ、ナルト、かいわれがのっている。 海苔は入れ忘れ? 混ぜてまず一口。 そこまで油っこくもない。 食べやすいが、出汁の旨味をあまり感じない。 麺は三河屋製麺の中太ストレート。 モチモチで、しっかり歯応えのあるタイプ。 麺自体は、さすが三河屋製麺と思えるレベル。 モンドセレクション金賞受賞の油そば専用特製タレとの絡みは良い。 大盛でも280gしかないらしく、めっちゃ少ない。何ともお上品。 OLのランチかっ! 店で食べれば、50円で無限ライスがあるからリカバリーできるかもしれない。 されど、テイクアウトの場合、せっかく麺は美味いのに、この物足りなさはどうにもならない。 武蔵野が誇るジャンクな油そばは、元来学生達によって二郎系のような極太麺をガッツリ腹いっぱい食べられていたもの。 育ち盛りの学生達がこの程度の量で満足しているのか、甚だ疑問に感じる。 二度とテイクアウトで學会を使うことはない。 冒険せずに、やっぱり○珍亭にすべきだった。 ご馳走様でした🙇♂️

A very interesting ramen shop. The inside had a lot of history on its walls and it was interesting to look at all the artefacts. There were also queues to get in. The ramen was tasty - "oil" ramen was a lit thicker than usual ramen. They have just opened another store nearby, so I might try that one next time.

The staff is very kind. Even though she isn't fluent in English, she tried her best to let me know that I can order a package instead of ordering food separately to save some money. The food is superb and unbelievably cheap. I would recommend it to everyone who comes to Waseda.
