A Taste of Tradition: ABREN's Unique Oil Soba Experience
On May 25, 2026, Gotanda welcomed a new culinary gem: ABREN, an oil soba specialty shop developed in collaboration with a historical soy sauce brewery boasting 170 years of tradition. To celebrate its grand opening, the restaurant hosted a special event, offering its signature oil soba for just 500 yen for two days, making it accessible for everyone to experience this unique dish.
Three Core Commitments of ABREN
1. Special Authentic Sauce from Centuries of Mastery
The heart of ABREN’s oil soba is its special secret sauce created in partnership with a renowned soy sauce brewing company that has endured for nearly two centuries. This sauce is carefully crafted to achieve a complex yet balanced flavor profile that enhances the rich taste of the specially made noodles. It stands out in the crowd for its depth and sharpness that you won’t find anywhere else.
2. Special Noodles Crafted with Care
ABREN has worked with one of Japan's leading noodle manufacturers to develop its unique noodle recipe. The focus on authentic wheat flavor has resulted in chewy, firm noodles that have a distinct presence without being overpowered by the sauce. These noodles are truly worthy of the term “oil soba” as they are designed to shine in their own right.
3. An Irresistible Balance
In oil soba, without broth, the compatibility of the noodles and sauce is crucial. ABREN’s version offers generous portions, leaving patrons wanting more even until the very last bite. Moreover, the option to customize your experience by adding flavors showcases the strong foundation of noodles and sauce.
