Hoto
Hoto is a local dish of Yamanashi Prefecture that is different from ramen, udon, and soba. The noodles are flat and long, similar to udon, but they have a chewier and softer texture. Flat noodles made from kneaded wheat flour are simmered together with pumpkin, onion, daikon, mushrooms, potatoes, etc., and simmered in a miso-based broth. The sweetness of the vegetables is brought out in the rich, fragrant broth. "Houtou" is packed with nutrients. Why not try making the taste of a Yamanashi home?
