Koshu, Yamanashi, Japan｜頑固おやじの手打ちほうとう

Worth to visit. This small restaurant has single menu, traditional local food HOUTOU, which is similar to UDON noodle. As you can see in the picture, one pot for each table will be served for share style. noodle with rich vegetables is good for vegetarians but if you are a strict vegan, you need to check whether they use some fishes for the soup stock. The soup is tasty and mild.

It seems that it is the first victory of the tournament called Hoto serious game in Katsunuma. It seems to be a popular store where customers come one after another even if there is no line. I went with my dog, but I was happy to have it on the terrace. Hoto under the grape trellis is very nice. You can avoid direct sunlight and turn a large fan, so you can enjoy hot hot noodles while sweating! The hoto is made with thin, flat, curly noodles and plenty of large vegetables. The taste of miso is exquisite and very delicious. You can eat it as it is, or you can eat it with twelve flavors. Two people ordered a pot for two people, but the amount was quite large. I am sure you will be satisfied with the taste and quantity. The shop also sells peaches and Shine Muscat depending on the season. It was sweet and delicious, so I recommend this too! This time it was the peach season, but I would like to visit again during the grape season next time.

On this trip, I failed a lot with hoto, so I decided to visit a place that was delicious. This is the correct answer! The noodles are handmade and have a chewy texture that won't fall apart even when cooked. Lots of vegetables, lots of mushrooms, and a good soup stock. It's different from the thin, clean ones at chain stores. This is a dish that brings back the nostalgia of something your grandma would make at home. You can also enjoy it under the grape trellis. Good time. in the season You can also buy grapes and take them home. It was delicious
