About Yokote yakisoba

The local gourmet “Yokote Yakisoba” from Yokote City, Akita Prefecture is loved by many people for its unique style and flavor. What is characteristic is that it uses thick, straight boiled noodles, stir-fried with cabbage and minced pork in a sweet sauce, and topped with a soft-boiled fried egg. Also, it is unique that fukujinzuke is added as a garnish instead of pickled ginger.

The origin of this dish dates back to just after World War II. At that time, okonomiyaki restaurants in Yokote City were searching for a new menu and cooperated with local noodle makers to develop the current form of yakisoba. This yakisoba, which was completed around Showa 28, quickly became popular due to its affordability and deliciousness, and is now offered all over the city.

Thick noodles, which are the main ingredients, are characterized by their chewy texture, and you can enjoy a mellow flavor by mixing the sweet sauce with the yolk of a soft-boiled egg. By adding cabbage and minced pork, just the right amount of texture and umami are added, and the overall balance is exquisite. In terms of nutrition, it is an excellent source of energy.

Yokote yakisoba is loved by a wide range of generations, from children to adults, because of its friendly flavor. When you visit Yokote, be sure to enjoy authentic flavors.
