Ankake Spaghetti (Pan-fried thick noodles with spicy sauce)
Nagoya’s soul food, loved for its spicy flavor

About Ankake Spaghetti (Pan-fried thick noodles with spicy sauce)

Ankake Spaghetti originated in Nagoya. Unlike Italian pasta, where sauce is tossed with freshly boiled spaghetti, this dish uses thick noodles that are boiled ahead of time and stir-fried like yakisoba in lard or vegetable oil. They are served with a rich, spicy sauce with a thick, glossy texture like Japanese ankake sauce. Topped with various ingredients, the thick noodles are coated in a deeply simmered, tomato-based sauce with a gentle kick. Its unusual, addictive flavor is something you have to try to understand.
