The setting for the journey is Fuchu City, Tokyo. First, Tsukaji Muga (Drunk Dragon) visits "Musashino no Mori Park," adjacent to Chofu Airport. Under the spring blue sky, he enjoys the cherry blossoms and strolls leisurely. Surprised by the power of airplanes flying just overhead, he enjoys the once-in-a-lifetime encounters with passersby. Furthermore, he stumbles upon a mysterious spot in a corner of the park where stones from all 47 prefectures of Japan are lined up. He searches for a stone from his roots, Osaka, and a reaction typical of Tsukaji bursts out!
Amidst this, he meets students from Tokyo University of Foreign Studies located nearby. They tell him about a standing soba noodle shop they know, and based on that information, he heads to... a shop that feels somewhat aged.
There's a signboard, but the shop's name is nowhere to be found!? The shop, marked by a yellow signboard, was a long-established business that had been run by three generations of a family for 40 years. The current manager is the daughter, and the father who started the shop, though now 'retired,' still exudes the aura of being 'active' from his attire. Tsukaji couldn't help but retort, "That's not the attire of a retired person!" What was the first-generation owner's attire like?
As for the crucial taste of the shop, the soup base recipe and toppings, passed down from the father's generation, and the onigiri (rice balls) made to order, were unchanged and inherited by the daughter and then the grandchild. Tsukaji also immersed himself in the 'emo' space, including the red plastic bowls that have been used for 40 years. Furthermore, the hands of people gather at this shop that somehow can't be left alone. Regulars fix the plumbing, bring in chairs, and re-wallpaper... Before they knew it, the shop was gradually built up 'by people's hands.'
Tsukaji ordered the shop's popular menu item, the Ten-Tama Soba, where dropping an egg into the rich soup instantly spreads a mellow flavor. Tsukaji was convinced by the taste, saying, "The father'sこだわりの配合 (carefully crafted recipe) makes the broth strong and deep, it's delicious." Along with the freshly made, warm onigiri, a nostalgic and warm taste spread. Tsukaji savored the taste, full of love passed down for 40 years, until the very end.

The second stop is Asakusabashi, Tokyo.
The enchanting "dark broth" soba made by an Edo-born shop owner. What is the true identity of the soup that he boasts wasn't simmered down, but rather 'simmered itself down'!? We bring you an encore broadcast of a famous shop.
