Hōtō Lunch – Details

Besides Yoshida Udon, we also serve group Hōtō lunches by reservation only.

What is Hōtō?

A traditional dish loved throughout Yamanashi: thick, flat wheat noodles simmered in a miso-based broth with seasonal vegetables such as pumpkin, carrot, potato, and shiitake mushrooms. Simple yet deeply flavorful, especially appreciated as a warm, nutritious meal in winter.

Serving Style

  • Guests share one pot per table.

  • Hōtō is simmered at the table; thank you for your understanding.

  • Our Koshu Wine Beef Hōtō uses the Yamanashi brand beef Koshu Wine Beef.
