Located just a short walk from Nishi-Shinjuku-gochome Station, Owl showcases chilled niku soba, a local specialty from Kahoku Town in Yamagata Prefecture. Its clear soy sauce broth made from mature chicken combines sweetness, depth, and the clean edge of chicken oil. Chilled, firm soba noodles, tender chicken, and scallions come together into a dish that makes you want to drink down every last drop. The sansho niku soba, accented with the refreshing tingling of Japanese sansho pepper and fragrant shiso, is a popular summer staple. Diners can also choose between soba or Chinese noodles and hot or cold preparation, such as chilled niku chuka with Chinese noodles or warm niku soba in an amber broth. The firm, satisfying chew unique to mature chicken releases more umami with every bite. Orders are placed via a ticket vending machine at the entrance, ensuring prompt service so that lunch moves quickly even when packed with neighborhood office workers. The entirely non-smoking interior features counter seats and is easy to visit alone, with some also stopping by at night for a light drink or a finishing bowl.
