It has beef and it comes in a bowl, but it\u2019s not a beef bowl<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n There\u2019s no dish Yoshinoya<\/strong> is more strongly associated with than gyudon (beef bowls), and no restaurants is more strongly associated with beef bowls than Yoshinoya. The mental connection between the two is so strong that it\u2019s not uncommon for people in Japan to mash the words together and refer to the chain and its flagship food as \u201cYoshigyu.\u201d<\/p>\n But this summer Yoshinoya is stepping out of the beef bowl box, and while they\u2019re not ditching beef in their newest offering, it\u2019ll have no rice, because it\u2019s beef ramen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Specifically, this is mazesoba<\/strong>. The \u201cmaze\u201d part comes from mazeru<\/em>, meaning to stir or mix, and while \u201csoba\u201d by itself usually refers to buckwheat noodles, it can also indicate ramen noodles (as it does in the stir-fried ramen noodle dish yakisoba). Mazesoba is a type of non-soup ramen where instead of the noodles floating in liquid broth they\u2019re placed in a bowl with sauce and other ingredients, and you stir everything together just before eating so that the flavor mixes throughout<\/strong>.<\/p>\n For its Gyutama Stamina Mazesoba<\/strong>, the key co-star for the noodles is the same strips of simmered beef<\/strong> that Yoshinoya fans know and love from the chain\u2019s beef bowls. Accompanying them are sliced onions, diced leeks, tempura flakes, an egg, and a thick-consistency spicy garlic sauce<\/strong>, which is served on the side so that you can add as much or as little as you want.<\/p>\n Yoshinoya says the result is tasty and satiating, but surprisingly describes the flavor as \u201crich yet refreshing.\u201d Considering that just about every ingredient in Yoshinoya\u2019s mazesoba is meaty, pungent, or fried, it\u2019s probably best to take that \u201crefreshing\u201d claim with a grain of salt, but the bold and filling parts of the promise definitely sound plausible, and with Japanese folk wisdom holding that garlic is supposed to boost physical endurance, the Gyutama Stamina Mazesoba, priced at 767 yen (US$5.30) is set to go on sale July 4<\/strong>, right as the midsummer heat starts showing up.<\/p>\n Source: Yoshinoya (1<\/a>, 2<\/a>)via Hachima Kiko<\/a><\/em> It has beef and it comes in a bowl, but it\u2019s not a beef bowl.
