On 29 May 2012, two related stamina counters opened one minute from Hachiko on Center-Gai — in the former GROM gelato space at Udagawa-cho 21-7 (Fuji Building). Street cues: big すためし / 油そば signs just inside Center-Gai on the right.
Passion Suta-Meshi Dondon (2F)
情熱のすためし どんどん ran 24 hours. Signature garlic-soy すためし came small/medium/large at ¥550 / ¥650 / ¥750 with miso soup and raw egg; milder 味噌すた ran ¥650 / ¥750 / ¥850. A beginner ちょいすたミニ sat at ¥520. The report’s miso bowl stacked shredded cabbage over rice; other boards listed roast-cutlet don, hamburg, and curry. Phone (historical): 03-5428-3325.
Abura-Soba Sohonten (1F)
Downstairs, 油そば総本店 渋谷センター街店 shared the same landing — oil noodles as the other half of the stamina pair for Center-Gai lunch and late nights.
Center-Gai still empties straight into scramble density on the Shibuya Crossing live camera. Stamina bowls stack into a trip budget — see average trip to Japan cost.
Treat 2012 prices and hours as historical.
