📜 Restaurant Details
Located in the local gourmet hotspot of Fujinomiya, the direct sales store at Omiya Yokocho offers the authentic and classic taste of "Fujinomiya Yakisoba." This dish has won the top prize for two consecutive years at the "B-1 Grandprix," which evaluates B-class local delicacies from across the country.
The characteristic of Fujinomiya Yakisoba lies in its unique chewy and elastic noodles, stir-fried on a hot iron plate with delicious pork cracklings (the residue left after frying pork fat), green onions, cabbage, and other ingredients. The pork cracklings are made from the finest pork back fat, resulting in a rich aroma and a complex texture that gives birth to the flavorful Fujinomiya Yakisoba. Finally, by sprinkling a generous amount of dashi powder (made from dried sardines and mackerel), you can enjoy a delightful combination of pork and fish flavors. In addition to the traditional taste, there is also a popular spicy series made with chili peppers.
As for the origin of Fujinomiya Yakisoba, the city of Fujinomiya, which prospered as the front town of the Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine, initiated a project to name the familiar local stir-fried noodles "Fujinomiya Yakisoba" in order to revive its former glory. This initiative has proven to be highly effective. Now, this delicious yakisoba can be ordered online through the official website.
