The stage for the journey is around Keio Line's Tsutsujigaoka Station.
Muga Tsukaji (Drank Dragon), walking through the shopping street in front of the station, stops by a 55-year-old Japanese confectionery shop that has existed for the same number of years as himself, and enjoys their proud botamochi (rice cake covered with bean paste). Pay attention to Tsukaji's blissful expression while eating the botamochi! He then visits a printing shop founded in 1923, where he is shown the process of printing with a manual printing press, evoking nostalgia for good old days.
Then, he visits "Manyo Soba," a renowned shop near Tsutsujigaoka Station, famous for its freshly made "Ni-Hachi Soba."
The brightly lit interior is popular, with 40% of its customers being women, and the manager is a former professional boxer!? Tsukaji is excited by this unexpected background! The Ni-Hachi Soba, made with the strength cultivated during his boxing career, has an exquisite water content, meticulously calculated down to a spoonful, considering temperature and humidity.
Tsukaji orders the shop's specialty, "Ashitaba Tempura," and describes its texture, comparing it to a scene from a popular anime: "The crispiness is unbelievable! It crumbles apart like a spell of Bals!"
He enjoyed the proud soba, slurping it down and saying, "It has the charm of Ni-Hachi."
Finally, he explains the color of the watch he is wearing. The secret of the program-specific(?) watch will be revealed on air!
The second shop is in Minami-Nagareyama, Chiba.
The much-anticipated rerun features a heartwarming soba made by a renowned duo in the program's largest-ever shop.
