📜 Restaurant Details
Nagoya's famous dish "Miso Braised Udon" comes from a well-established restaurant that uses soybean miso as the base for its broth. Yamamotoya Sohonten's signature miso braised udon features a special miso made by blending "Hatcho Miso" from Okazaki City in Aichi Prefecture with white miso, and is based on a broth extracted from kombu, bonito, and shiitake mushrooms, resulting in a clear soup. The noodles are made without adding salt, giving them a firm and chewy texture. Locals use the lid of the earthen pot as a plate, allowing them to enjoy the noodles while they cool down. Additionally, it pairs very well with white rice, and it's recommended to enjoy it with a side of rice.
In addition to the main branch within walking distance from Yabacho Station, there is also a branch at Matsuzakaya Nagoya, which is directly connected to Yabacho Station.

Additionally, there is a branch located near Nagoya Castle in "Kinshachi Yokocho," which can be included in your itinerary.
