Hyperlocal Tokyo

The further back you go in the shop, the cooler it gets, but the area near the ordering entrance was hot and it was tough to wait. You can choose from three lengths and three flavors, and I ordered the 42-centimeter consommé flavor. It was delicious! I didn't have much time before my next destination, so I ate it on the go, but I was worried about where to throw away the long stick after I finished, so I recommend eating inside. I broke it in half and took it home, lol.

I ordered the "Long Potato", which is supposedly the longest in Japan, at 52cm. I chose the butter soy sauce flavor. It's definitely long, as advertised. The potato was crispy on the outside but moist on the inside, though a bit greasy. Due to its large surface area, it cools down very quickly.

Tornado Potato LONG! 35cm (BBQ) I went for the "LONG!" option, and it was definitely long enough! 😄 The flavor options are BBQ, Consomme, and Butter Soy Sauce. The potato slices are thin, but you can still taste the potato. Perfect for walking around and eating! ◎

Do they not take orders unless there's a long line of customers? There was no one in line, and the man was only frying one potato. The woman was wiping things down, and even though I was waiting in line to order, she didn't come over. When I asked if I could order, she told me to wait. There's time to fry, and the man was only frying one potato at a time. They weren't busy, so why couldn't they take my order? Why was he only frying one potato at a time? Other customers started lining up while I was waiting, and finally, they took my order. They fried two potatoes then, though. I'd like to know what I was waiting for. Maybe they don't greet customers because they think they'll come in on their own, so they just provide mediocre service? The potatoes were mushy. If you like crispy potatoes, you might not like these. They didn't even say 'Welcome,' so maybe they're hygienic?

It's a long, greasy potato. Cash only, is that even a thing anymore? You can see them making it. Potatoes are constantly being brought in, sliced by a machine, then put on skewers and stretched out. They're coated in flour and then dropped into dark brown oil! The only flavor they had was BBQ, butter soy sauce, and maybe consommé. They pile it on thick. It's crazy oily and salty. It's long, so it's fun to eat with friends and make a fuss over it.
