大量焼きそばが一瞬で消える!愛知瀬戸で絶大な人気を誇るソウルフードめしとは!?愛知の焼きそば3選

Employee) There’s about an hour wait…
Man) An hour?! The person who created this kind of yakisoba
was my great-grandfather. It really feels like the original shop. I think this might be
the best Seto yakisoba Wow… this is amazing! Looks delicious… The broth from simmering pork
soaks into the noodles and tastes amazing. It’s an addictive flavor. It’s for the sake of each customer’s smile That’s the meaning behind
adding “Ichiai” to the name. Soul food of Seto City, Aichi Prefecture: Seto Yakisoba
A close look at “Yakisoba Ichiai,” inheriting the shop where it originated Seto City, Aichi Prefecture 5:28 The shop owner’s father (72 years old) Loosening the noodles while placing them in the steamer basket Homemade white Chinese noodles Water for steaming noodles Filling the steamer with water Place the steamer basket with noodles into the steamer Steam for about 40 minutes Staff) How many years ago did your father
start working? About 10 years ago He was a civil servant, so until age 60. Shop Owner
Koichi Ozeki (42 years old) Now it’s called Seto Yakisoba
but the one who made this kind of yakisoba
was my great-grandfather My grandmother and
her siblings ran the shop under the name “Fukusuke” Yakisoba They ran a yakisoba shop The very last one I ran was my grandmother’s younger brother had been running Fuku-suke
as the owner for a long time, but he passed away due to illness,
so it had to close. I was 19 at the time, I wanted to take it over,
but I was still a student, so they opposed it. I gave up on taking over the business for the time being. After graduating from school
I worked as a salaryman I had this feeling that I really wanted to do it. When I was about 27 I started it as
Yakisoba Issho. Staff) So it’s like the original Seto Yakisoba
kind of position, like the birthplace of the dish, right? Staff) What are the characteristics
of (Seto Yakisoba)? One defining characteristic is that we use steamed noodles. Another is the soy sauce-based broth. Using that for seasoning
is another characteristic. Seto City is a town famous for its pottery, serving it on Seto ware is
part of the definition. Since we specialize in takeout, our containers are different, but the definition is basically those three points,
right? Staff) As a Seto citizen, is it like
your soul food or something? Yeah, I guess so. My great-grandfather made it around 1958, so Back when sauce yakisoba wasn’t really around yet. It’s said that
they created it There was a place called Miyamae Underground Shopping Arcade and there was a shop called Yakisoba Fukusuke. Two doors down from there there was a shop called Daifuku-ya That place was also hit. From what I’ve heard my great-grandfathers
seem to have been good friends taught each other how to make it I’ve heard that
they ran two yakisoba restaurants Steamed noodles turn brown Staff) Why does the color change? It’s because of the kansui added to the dough. When steamed with steam, it’s said the kansui causes the color change. Set the next batch of noodles in the steamer His father, a former medical technician,
was in charge of hygiene management at the hospital He understands the conditions under which food poisoning
occurs, so I think it’s safe, first of all Put on an apron. The noodles are steamed. Thoroughly rinse the steamed noodles Rinsing the noodles makes them easier to separate
and helps the flavor soak in To prevent them from sticking together when they’re fresh they’re coated with cornstarch While washing it off It doesn’t absorb the broth when you pour it on
(Commercial noodles) are coated in oil We don’t do that here. We loosen them up. Staff) That’s also to help the flavor penetrate better. Carefully and thoroughly washing the steamed noodles Separate the washed noodles into individual portions Staff) Do your noodles have any characteristics
that set them apart from other yakisoba shops? They definitely have their own characteristics The steamed noodles have a strong, unique aroma that hits your nose
and we’re particular about the blend too The father meticulously washes the noodles
while the son weighs them. Cleaning the pot Stretching in between Continue working… On business days, we always
start work around 5:00 AM. (Staff) What time do you finish? Finishing time is whenever everything sells out.
That’s how it feels. I can only handle as much as I can carry. No matter how much you tell me to push myself, I broke a rib the other day too. There’s a limit to how much I can handle. Staff) How long do you think it’ll take
before everything sells out? I think it’ll last
until around 5:00 PM. Today, it might not last until 5:00 PM
after all. It’s a bit hot, so I cut back. If you feel like eating cold noodles…
I’m no good at that. I lose to cold Chinese noodles or somen. Staff) When is your peak season? Golden Week or Obon holidays. It’s busier when there are consecutive holidays
more often Like summer vacation or winter break It’s definitely busier when the kids are around. When they’re at school eating lunch
, sales drop. Staff) Quite a few kids
come to the shop, huh? Mostly grandpas
and grandmas, or dads I think it’s more like they come and go Staff) Don’t people come from other places? Staff) Different numbers or something? Yeah, we do. Like twice or three times a day Compared to before
it’s definitely increased If If you don’t dry it out, this time
the broth won’t soak in If you dry it until it’s really crispy the broth will soak in Staff) With yakisoba noodles,
there’s no such process, right? No, there isn’t. After washing, the bamboo steamers are thoroughly dried outside. The shop owner’s mother helps out too. Raise the room temperature to speed up drying. 7:55 The original price when we started
Yakisoba 350 yen We raise prices once a year by about 10 or 20 yen But it still doesn’t keep up Staff) What’s rising the most? Wheat. And gas costs. Then there’s the cost of containers too. Noodle Making Process
Prepare water and alkaline water Our proprietary blend of flour Mix until it comes together lightly Put the dough into the mixer 50-year-old kneading machine Place the dough finished mixing in the mixer
into the press machine Because there’s a limit to how much we can make
The number sold is fixed We make about 15 kilograms of dough per day Staff) What’s the fastest time you’ve ever sold out? With pre-orders, we’ve sold out in as little as 30 minutes after opening. Cleaning the press machine Coating with cornstarch
to prevent the noodles from sticking Let the dough rest before using it. The owner heads to the shop a little ahead of time. My father continues making noodles. When I was in elementary school, he ran a candy shop. My grandpa, you see I was my grandpa’s boy. I was the eldest son and his very first grandchild. Grandpa doted on me. That doll over there
Grandpa bought it for me. It’s a boy’s doll for May. Staff) It’s really impressive. He’d just stare at it forever. He bought it for me right after the war, when we had absolutely nothing. He must have thought it was really cute. From Meitetsu Owari-Seto Station

I’d come to buy yakisoba, I saw the part-time job ad Staff) Is it easy to work here? Well, yes. I’ve always enjoyed customer service work, so I’m having fun doing it.

Lower the chairs… Wipe the table Wipe each chair carefully one by one Soy sauce-based broth with pork belly Soy sauce base Sweetened with sugar for a savory-sweet flavor Add pork to that
and extract the broth. Staff) Is that pork also used as a yakisoba ingredient? After plating the yakisoba, we grill and add it on top
as a topping. Making yakisoba
Coating the griddle with oil Plenty of cabbage Steam-fry it Rapeseed oil Steamed noodles prepared since morning Drizzle rapeseed oil over the noodles
Finish with a fragrant aroma Soy sauce-based broth Stir-fry thoroughly while letting the broth soak into the noodles Since we do takeout Our main goal is for it to taste delicious even when taken home
That’s what we aim for most To achieve that, we make sure the broth soaks deep inside before grilling. Staff) Does that mean the grilling time is longer? I think it’s longer. To achieve a chewy texture, We pour broth over the noodles one time
to let them absorb it. But that makes them too soft, so the noodles While evaporating the moisture from the softened noodles It feels like adjusting the noodles’ moisture content. The owner’s mother also comes to the shop to help. Pepper Pouring broth over them and repeating the process of evaporating the moisture
to achieve a chewy texture Female staff also handle yakisoba preparation Place the finished yakisoba

and they handled it immediately Large portions are 1.5 times the regular size. Two large portions, got it. Timing the purchase perfectly
Overjoyed, my body involuntarily bounces… One male customer enters the store He orders a regular and a large portion of yakisoba
with extra meat. It will take about 10 more minutes.
Is that okay? Thank you for waiting. One regular and one large serving of yakisoba, both with extra meat. Since I’m from Seto, I knew this place existed
for a while I’ve been curious about it
and finally came to buy some I’m going to take it home and eat it with my family. Staff) Doesn’t your hand hurt? At first my hands did hurt. Staff) It does look pretty heavy, after all. I’m only half the captain’s weight. I think being captain is really tough. Especially in summer, standing in front of the grill
I bet it’s even harder then. Customers with reservations arrive one after another One male customer arrives Sorry to keep you waiting. Three regular portions and two large portions. I think this place has the best Seto-style yakisoba Other places tend to be a bit too sweet This place has that old-school feel to it. We’ll have quite a bit. One male customer arrives. One large portion. Is it Mr. Shibata? Please wait. Customers buy yakisoba in quantities ranging from one to
ten or more, varying by customer. Skillfully packing the reserved yakisoba Two customers, a man and a woman, arrive to eat in the shop. Staff) In running the shop,
has anything been particularly difficult? The thing I always think is the hardest is every single day
with the temperature and humidity changing providing and creating the same taste and the same level of cooking I think that
is the most difficult part The yakisoba is ready Receiving the yakisoba
and eating it at the counter Let’s eat. Wow… this is amazing! Looks delicious… The savory flavor of pork infused into the broth
Its aroma whets the appetite… Slurping down the piping hot noodles in one go Delicious! An exclamation escapes my lips
Savoring the exquisite yakisoba! Finish eating it all and close the pack Thank you for the meal!
It was delicious! Thank you very much Average age around 70, I wonder The shop owner’s parents, working energetically A woman with children comes into the shop
She buys 8 servings of yakisoba It’s delicious with that soy sauce base, right? It’s a flavor I can’t recreate myself,
so I think it’s delicious. Staff) Is it the same flavor as before?
Has it changed a bit? I’m the one managing the flavor. It should be better than before. Not that I’m bragging or anything. Staff) Do any customers who came during Fukusuke’s time
still come by? They all say it tastes the same. I’ve been eating it since I was three years old. Back then, there wasn’t much else to eat. When you’re hungry, yakisoba. One woman enters the shop I’d like to order one.
Will it take long? Do you have any left? Do you? Was the regular size okay? Yes, I’ll get it ready.
Please wait. Timely purchase of yakisoba
and exit from the store One female customer enters the store Reserved and purchased three large portions of yakisoba Cutting cabbage Prepare broth for use the next day Pork belly One man without a reservation arrives at the store… Reservations are packed
and he has to wait a full hour The man couldn’t hide his surprise at the unexpected wait time… Deciding to give up this time
they leave the shop This couple of two people
also give up after a one-hour wait… You can register your phone number for reservations at the storefront
Reservations are recommended as they tend to fill up depending on the date and time Staff) Did you take reservations by phone
from the very beginning? When we first opened, we didn’t have phones. I thought we couldn’t handle phone calls,
so we didn’t have a phone. We got a lot of requests from customers saying they wanted to make reservations by phone. Then my dad started helping out, so we had someone available to answer the phone.
That’s how we made it happen. (Male) Can I get one sauce? Because I want to eat a lot, with lots of sauce dripping everywhere. Extra sauce can be purchased for 10 yen per packet. Yes, thank you very much.
Thank you. Staff) When you first opened and there weren’t many customers,
how many people were there? We opened on the first day without any announcements.
We just opened like that. We made 20 servings that day. Those 20 servings were the fewest
we’ve ever had. Staff) From 20 meals to this level
It’s amazing how popular it became Thanks to everyone Thanks to the influence of Mixi, a platform that was popular back then, someone posted about us on Mixi, Before we’d even been open a month it felt like I couldn’t manage it alone anymore I started getting help One woman came to pick it up Staff) Do you come often? About once a month. I’ve lived in Seto since I was a kid and always ate it, so I guess I just get the urge to eat it sometimes. Ever since it was near the shrine. they’ve been serving oden too I’ve known them since the previous generation or so Staff) Can you sometimes get other Seto-style yakisoba too? The taste is just a little bit different, you know. Staff) Do you like it, Issho-san? I like it. Purchased the yakisoba he’s been eating since childhood
and left the shop. If I don’t cool my neck with this, I’ll get heatstroke. Wrap the heatstroke prevention around my neck
and get pumped up. The guy wondering about extra sauce… One free sauce packet comes with each yakisoba order. My family home is in Seto
and I’m back visiting right now I’ve eaten here several times A customer who’s been coming since the days of Fukusuke in Miyamae Shopping Street The broth from simmering pork
soaks into the noodles and tastes delicious, doesn’t it? It’s a little different from the old days, though. But they use a similar pork broth so the yakisoba is delicious. It feels like when I come back to Seto, I come here. Staff) Is this for your family? Yes, it is. Everyone likes it, huh? It’s an addictive flavor. Taking home yakisoba for the whole family… Three people—a child and a man—
enjoy yakisoba inside the shop Delicious! The girl also loves the taste
and stuffs her cheeks with yakisoba… Pouring the accompanying sauce over it
They also enjoy the rich yakisoba I’m from Saitama. I came here on a business trip. I’m staying at Route Inn. Every morning they serve Seto-style yakisoba. I only found out about it after coming here. So Seto yakisoba is famous, huh? Thanks for the meal. Thank you very much (Staff) When serving, is there anything
you keep in mind regarding customer service? When I serve customers, I always think about making each customer smile …it’s for the smile of each and every customer. That’s the meaning behind
the name “Ichiai” Do you pay attention to that aspect? Memories of eating our yakisoba memories of eating our yakisoba We want each customer
to create good memories as part of their lives and if they remember it That’s what makes me happiest. It’s 2:00 PM
The shop owner takes a break Shop Owner) Please enjoy your meal.
Staff) Thank you for the meal. Large Yakisoba with Extra Meat 940 yen The savory grilled pork
is incredibly filling! Delicious! The chewy steamed noodles soaked in soy sauce-based broth are irresistible… The only toppings are cabbage and pork
The flavor of the noodles and broth really stands out and tastes great! Enjoy it with the included sauce The sweetness of the pork really comes through
An addictive deliciousness… Thank you for the meal! The original Seto Yakisoba, a taste you can only find here!
Please savor the flavor of “Yakisoba Issho”! Fluffy and tender takoyaki made by beautiful twin sisters! Try the rock salt here It’s not like it changed my concept of takoyaki, but I instantly became a fan The yakisoba is delicious,

“Shikizakura” Owner: Kana Fukuchi (32 years old) 9:09 Changing into her uniform and putting on an apron
Begins preparations to open the shop Kana’s husband, Misaki
They’ve been working together for about four years Wiping down the display shelves for Japanese sweets The shop also sells Japanese sweets.
Haniuta Yomogi Daifuku, Haniuta Shioda Daifuku Staff) Do we sell quite a lot of Japanese sweets? Yes, we do. When it gets hotter
the bottom tier often features seasonal summer items For little kids
warabimochi is popular Staff) Takoyaki shops and Japanese sweets…
That’s not a very common combination, is it? Yeah, that’s true.
People do say it’s unusual, though. My sister originally worked at a Japanese sweets shop, and I was in takoyaki,
so it’s like a combination of those. Making takoyaki batter Add beaten eggs to the water Add seasonings
The batter is seasoned with a bonito broth base Flour, etc. Mix thoroughly with a mixer Check thoroughly for lumps
Preparation complete Fry the karinto manju The karintou manju are done. Arrange the finished
karintou manju. Preparing for opening
Begin cooking takoyaki I’m most particular about the takoyaki batter I believe the batter is the soul of takoyaki We use a lot of bonito broth So even just the takoyaki batter has a flavor where the aroma of bonito broth gently wafts through. That’s the part I’m most particular about. At first, we try not to overpower it Sauces and soy sauce are
fine too, of course, but I want people to eat it with salt. The recommended rock salt has a distinct flavor, Staff) Do you have any particular preferences regarding octopus? We’ve been using the same octopus all along, but it’s a large octopus, and when you cook it, depending on the variety,
octopus shrink or become tough when cooked. I use octopus that resists shrinking and retains a firm, springy texture. We pour in plenty of batter
to create fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth takoyaki. A regular customer brought us a gift. We have a limited-time menu item and we’re going to make it right here, right now We’ll be selling it today and tomorrow. It’s said to be the predecessor of takoyaki. There’s something called radio-yaki.
Do you know about it? Staff) Just the name We make radio-yaki with konjac and
beef tendon instead of octopus Beef tendon Green onions Tempura bits My sister Saki is leaving for work. This is my sister Saki. This is my sister Kana. Staff) How old were you when you
started the shop? That was when I was 26. And the origin of the name? When I was 26, I was working part-time at a takoyaki shop
while also working as an office lady. I was thinking about wanting to run my own takoyaki shop
during that period of uncertainty. Shikizakura
is the name of a cherry blossom variety. in Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture. I had the chance to go see
a place where they bloom in abundance. One characteristic of Shikizakura is
that they bloom cherry blossoms bloom
around the end of November I went to see those cherry blossoms and thought the cherry blossoms blooming in the cold
were incredibly cool And that gave me courage, I guess It became the trigger I took the name of that cherry blossom
and named it Shikizakura. We also shape the Radio-yaki into balls. Staff) What did your sister originally
do? When my sister started her business, I was working at a traditional Japanese sweets shop. She asked me to join her,
and that’s how we started working together. Staff) When she asked you,
how did you feel? I was really happy.
I also like making takoyaki, so… We’d just go out to eat together
in our free time, you know? We got along well. The shop is close to Otaka Ryokuchi Park
and many families come to visit. Parking

so they’re ready to serve immediately. Stir-fry 30-35 servings
of yakisoba all at once Pre-stir-frying of yakisoba complete Divide the finished yakisoba portions. Cabbage Staff) Takoyaki and such,
aren’t they affected by the price hikes? Very much so. Like octopus, for example? Octopus has nearly doubled in price. There are also cheap, small ones
circulating, but I still don’t want to switch to those. I think we raised it by about two levels. It’s just a little bit at a time. As for the takoyaki,
I haven’t raised the price much. If anything, I raised the price a bit
for things like squid. Squid really got
so expensive to buy I do have the desire
to raise prices, but you know, little kids come in
with pocket money from their moms, When I think about kids like that I don’t want to raise prices so easily Alongside the shop,
we do mobile sales too, We’re managing somehow. Staff) Where do you mainly go for the mobile sales? We go to Toyokawa City in Aichi Prefecture every month. We try to go to places as far away from Nagoya as possible
so that customers in rural areas can enjoy our food. Further north, Niwa District, Oguchi Town Kasugai City and such So we can visit various places For our sauce yakisoba, we use
beef brisket for a truly satisfying bite. Staff) When we do mobile sales,
does Mr. Misaki go too? I’m the main guy, so to speak. It takes about two hours to set up. We have to unload everything from the car Set up the tent Either Saki or Kana
will always be at the shop In front of the grill, you see
It gets over 50 degrees I’m outside for about 12 hours a day. At the shop, takeout is the main thing, so Getting feedback
is pretty rare, but When customers eat right in front of me… and they tell me what they think, it’s incredibly rewarding. One male regular customer enters the shop Orders Radio-yaki and sauce yakisoba Good morning. Welcome. A customer who comes every weekend
Receives the Radio-yaki and sauce yakisoba I think he started coming about 4 years ago When we were at the pop-up stall
That’s when I thought it was delicious And then I started coming regularly I followed every pop-up location they opened. Even after this main store opened, on weekends I come here for both breakfast and lunch.
That’s how it feels. The yakisoba is delicious,
and the takoyaki is delicious too. They come to eat
because they support us and like us. One male customer arrives. Orders rock salt and radio-style grilled food Rock salt, which lets you savor the broth’s flavor,
is the most popular seasoning Thank you. One male customer arrives. Radio-yaki with mayo on the side One salt-based yakisoba with extra green onions One grilled squid We also ordered Japanese sweets like karintou manju
and chilled mitarashi dango. We also do mobile sales,
and they come to those too. Staff) So they’re like fans of the shop? They’re definitely fans. The warmth of the shop and all that. and the smiles of all the staff members
are just wonderful It really makes you want to come back
and keep coming back Salt-based yakisoba Green onions Fried egg Steamed on the hot plate The garlicky salt sauce is delicious!
Pork belly salt sauce yakisoba is complete Sorry to keep you waiting Pick up the order
Head to the eat-in space Bite into freshly made takoyaki I like the ones with rock salt and no mayo best. Because that’s the best way to bring out the flavor of the Japanese-style broth,
which is this shop’s specialty. It’s delicious, isn’t it? Before I knew about this place, when I thought of takoyaki,
it was all about the sauce. But after trying the rock salt here, it changed my whole concept of takoyaki. I instantly became a fan. Before I knew it, every Saturday
I was going there first thing. As time went on,
I’d be there almost every weekend. I also love the original merchandise. This gentleman also bought a cooler bag.
He even took a photo with the staff. 11:43 Watering the indoor plants Preparing mitarashi dango

The soft-boiled egg is perfectly cooked… I asked the owner what inspired them to start the shop I was running two small shops and had employees too I was thinking about opening a restaurant that serves large portions. I was considering it. The atmosphere was nice too
and the location was perfect so we ended up here I’m already graduated high school in two days I got expelled. Since then, I’ve been in the food service industry. From around age 16, Always in the food service industry. Yakitori, yakiniku, and so on.
I’ve done all kinds of things. What I ultimately ended up wanting to do was run a set meal restaurant. This is the style I want to do now. Staff) 189 What’s Jack-san’s
biggest selling point? The quantity. Bearbricks,
like bears and stuff, are displayed, When kids come in,
I want them to think, “I want to come back to this place.” Like giving them toys or something. I just like giving them something. And that just kept piling up. Right now, the prices have been steadily
rising, so I’m a bit troubled by that, but as much as possible we want to give you more than what you pay for
that’s the style This is how it came to be. Satisfying Aichi’s big eaters with the sheer force of flavor and quantity
We went behind the scenes at the hearty fried chicken diner.

  1. 昔は宮前の福助が瀬戸焼そばの一強みたいな感じてご主人が亡くなってめっきり食べなくなったけどその後に何軒か瀬戸焼きそばの店が出来たとは聞いてたけど味は受け継がれてるのかなぁ

  2. ホント美味しそうな焼きそばですね!麺類で焼きそば一番大好きなんで週に3回昼食は焼きそばデス(*'▽')

  3. おやじさんえらいな。天下りとか嘱託とかやらないでお店するとか。
    世の公務員は見習ってほしい。

  4. 愛知県で生まれ育った身として、そして焼きそば好きとして不覚だった。
    瀬戸焼きそばを聞いたことがなかった。
    時間を取り戻すべく、食べるしかないな。

  5. 福助のお孫さんが祖母や福助の常連さん達に聞いて福助の味を近づけて営業されているお店です。そんなに味は甘くないです。私が食べた時、付属のソースを貰っていなかったので味が物足りなったです。貰って無くてもウスターソースかけて食べて下さいと店主は言っています。

  6. 福助にお世話になりました(懐) 草野球の昼飯はほぼ、福助だったなぁ~w 
    福助が閉店してから瀬戸焼きそばは、祭りの出店程度しか食べてません。 
    まだ一笑は行ったことありませんので、今度寄ってみよう! 勿論待ち時間など考慮もして!

  7. 宮前の頃、鰻の田代に行くついでによく行きました。
    そのあと
    また移転したりでしばらく食べれてないけど
    豚肉のダシの味+ソースをちょい掛けして食べる…美味いよなぁ。
    また食べに行きます。
