💬 Finally paid a visit to Kajiken for their signature Nagoya-style Mazesoba that I had seen everywhere on social media. Mazesoba is Japanese for mixed noodles, kinda like our local "Bak Chor Mee" with the minced pork. The heaps of green onion provided an aesthetically pleasing vibrant green contrast to everything else on the bowl. My job now is to mix everything up, starting by breaking the perfectly half-boiled egg and watching the yolk coat every single strand of noodle. These yellow noodles were cooked al dente resulting in a great chewy texture. The minced meat tucked below were slightly spicy but only mildly seasoned, which was unusual as they are usually the ones packing all the flavour (could be a consistency issue). One thing to note is that the vinegar; quintessential for flavour enhancement, was not served together with my order and is something you have to specifically ask for separately, unlike other mazesoba places. Overall still a good bowl to kickstart your venture into the yummy world of mazesoba!

This one was a little bit spicy, but it made the mazesoba quite tasty. Not too bad a bowl.

Serving size after the upsize felt... normal..? It didn’t seem like a lot of noodles, so you might as well get the free upsize.

We got it as part of the Beyond set - 2 mains, 2 sides, and 2 drinks for $32 - which honestly wasn’t very worth it at all. The side dishes were tiny - we picked the karaage as a side dish and got ONE small piece of it.

We visited on a weekday evening and easily got seats for two.
