houtou ほうとうfrom lake kawaguchi

Houtou, a traditional dish from Yamanashi, comprising of thick, flat noodles, vegetables (especially pumpkin, potato, carrot, spring onion and shiitake mushroom) and usually meat, is often served in a cauldron-like bowl. Its something like our ban3 mian4, but tastes several times better without the floury taste. (1,260yen)
