Denki Soba, North Osaka • 電気蕎麦、北大阪



When Dr Arounax fled the Nautilus with Ned and Conseil, Captain Nemo and his crew were trapped in a great maelstrom off the coast of Ireland. The whereabouts of captain nemo, his crew and the natilus remain unknown to all...

アロウナクス先生がネードさんとコンセイルさんと一緒にノーチラス号から逃げようとした時、ネモ船長と彼のクルーはアイアランド沖に大渦巻きに閉じ込められた。ネモ船長と彼のクルーの居場所は誰にも不明でした。。。

Except me. I bumped into him last year; he's running a soba shop in Tenma in what I can only describe as the remains of that great submarine, the Nautilus.

私を除いて。去年偶然で会った;天満でなんとかその偉大なノーチラス号の変化した残骸のなかでおそば屋さんとして働いてます。

For those who haven't ready 20, 000 Leagues Under the Sea, here's a brief description of "Denki Soba", as it has so be called. As you eat slurp down your soba and sip Premium Malts, you're sitting inside a machine. There are metal plates are bolted to the walls, caged lights that are dim, and there's a constant throbbing droning sound of a huge electric engine in the background. I believe the sound was suppied by Implant 4, just around the corner from our office.

「海底二万マイル」のを読んでないひとのため、「電気蕎麦」の店の説明を致します。蕎麦をズルズルしてプレミアムマルツを飲みながら、機会の中にいる。壁に金属板がボルトされていて、かごに入れられた電気が薄暗くて、背景でずーとブルブルとうなる電気エンジンの音を聞こえる。その音はImplant 4が作られたと聞いた(オレらの事務所の近所にある)。

When I first heard about Denki Soba, I thought that I would get electric shocks when eating. I was rather relieved to find out that this was not that case, and delighted to actually see what it was like inside. Denki Soba is hot at the moment guys, it's the latest rumor in town, so get down there before everyone else does so you can be all cool and hip.

電気蕎麦始めて聞いた時、蕎麦によるビリビリで感電と思ってました。このことじゃないと安心しまして、店の中身を見ると喜びました。電気蕎麦は今ちょうど噂で人気ですよ皆さん、他の人の前に行って見たらいかして格好いいものなれるだろう。
