Abura Soba - Senayan City

Yamatoten prides itself on being the first to bring the abura soba concept to Indonesia. Abura/oil + soba/noodle = abura soba / noodle with oil sauce. Indonesians know soba as thin noodles served on ice accompanied by a cool broth, but actually the word soba in Japan just means noodle. But what about ramen? Well, ramen is soba too. In fact, some people still call it sobawhich means Chinese noodle. The abura soba concept actually developed in 1952, when the kitchen staff of a local ramen shop decided to change up the recipe for their staff lunches to cut costs, but instead found themselves with a very popular dish their customers loved! The popularity eventually died down, but Superhero cum Chef Yamamoto saved this dish and made it popular again.
