Okute Yamamotoya

Yamamotoya is a long-established misonikomi udon restaurant that has been loved by many people in and around Nagoya since it was founded in 1925 in Osu, Nagoya. It continues to preserve the traditional taste of Nagoya that has been passed down since the Taisho era. The fermented seasoning miso is made from Hatcho miso from a long-established miso brewery, and is blended with several other types of miso, including the local specialty white miso, using a unique method, and then slowly simmered until it becomes glossy. This exquisite gourmet dish combines the dashi stock carefully prepared for the stewed udon noodles early every morning with the udon noodles, which are all handmade and well-mixed with the miso, giving them a unique texture. A day at Yamamotoya begins with the chefs preparing miso while thinking of their customers. They start early in the morning, before the sun has even risen, and work with the miso, dashi stock, and other ingredients they have procured, feeling the humidity of the day's weather and the difference in the moisture content of the ingredients. Then, they cook the ingredients slowly and carefully, thinking about the guests who will be visiting that day. This is a tradition that has been passed down through five generations of Yamamotoya since the Taisho era. Please come to Okute Yamamotoya to enjoy this traditional taste.
