Roadside Station Showa - Kasukabe

Roadside station along Kasukabe Route 4 Bypass (Nikko Kaido) If you go north from central Tokyo, you will find yourself in a place that has passed through the intermittent traffic jam between Koshigaya and Kasukabe, so it is a good place to take an early break. A large kite with "Showa" and a signboard of Crayon Shin-chan welcome you in the countryside. There is only a vast agricultural land around, and there are abundant vegetables such as Japanese mustard spinach and Japanese mustard spinach, fruits such as strawberries, and rice and agricultural products. Besides, Utsunomiya dumplings and souvenirs from Tohoku were lined up a little like a roadside station along the No. 4 bypass. Also, the "Kenchin Udon" at the food court udon shop "Mugi-Bozu" in the annex is recommended because the salted soup with plenty of chicken dumplings and vegetables is delicious.

Michi-no-Eki Showa went to Kasukabe to cover strawberry picking and stopped by for lunch. When I researched it in advance, I found out about the local dish "Sutate Udon" in one area of ​​Saitama (Kawajima Town), which has a good reputation as a udon shop called Mugi-Bozu, and I have to eat this as an interview! And the first visit. This is probably because Kasukabe became a national district with Crayon Shin-chan. It is preferable that Crayon Shin-chan is the character of the roadside station. Immediately, I'll try eating udon noodles. Chichibu's walnut udon also felt like "I see! Local food", but the sweetness of the walnuts is not so good in collaboration with udon. This time, the udon noodles are delicious and delicious! By the way, it is official to rub the onions and sesame in a mortar to your liking, put the soup stock in it, and add udon (I made it with soba, but udon has a better texture) and eat it. it seems like. The accompanying cameraman put the sesame seeds rubbed in the soup and put the udon noodles in the udon noodle soup. You can enjoy various flavors by enjoying udon while making your own taste of sesame and soup. Many people were eating at the door or in front of the store, but the back seats were sparsely populated, so I ate in the back seats. (Of course, I brought the disinfectant and wiped the table carefully) The wind was strong and the windows were closed, but there was an air purifier. However, ventilation is important for infection control, so I opened the window and ate so as not to bother other people. * "Sudden" means "freshly squeezed". As the name suggests, it is derived from putting onions, perilla, cucumber, Japanese ginger, etc. in a mortar, mashing them well, mixing them with miso, and eating them with soup dissolved in well water. In the olden days, sardines and kelp soup stock would have been high-class in everyday cooking. However, the umami of the vegetables is so tight that it is not necessary.

On holidays, it is crowded and the toilet is clean. The restaurant is delicious. Vegetables are fresh and cheap. Strawberries will run out soon, so it might be better to go by noon. There is a small park. Please note that weekends and holidays are crowded.
