Yawatahama Champon is a local gourmet dish that has long been loved locally as the soul food of Yawatahama City, Ehime Prefecture. It is a port town in Yawatahama where maritime trade with Kyushu and Kansai flourished, and food culture introduced from China was fused with local ingredients and was born. First served in Showa 23, this champon has characteristics unique to the fish town of Yawatahama.

Thick Chinese noodles also go well with soup, making this cup satisfying to eat.
