Udon in Fujiyoshida
Yoshida udon, at the foot of Mount Fuji, is the firmest udon in Japan: thick, chewy noodles, boiled cabbage, and a red chilli-sesame paste on the table.
Soupmap lists 31 udon places in Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi.
Fujiyoshida, on the northern slopes of Mount Fuji, is known for Yoshida no udon, probably the hardest, chewiest udon you'll eat in Japan. The thick noodles are kneaded firmly and cooked for a relatively short time, so they need real chewing. They're served in a soy-and-miso broth with boiled cabbage and often sakura-niku, horse meat simmered sweet, or fried tofu. On every table sits suridane, a red paste of chilli, sesame and spices that you stir in to taste.
Many udon shops in the town open only for lunch, and some are in converted homes, with no-frills seating and handwritten menus. The story often told is that udon was a quick, filling lunch in the town's textile-weaving days. Fujiyoshida is a base for the Fuji Five Lakes and for climbing Fuji, and the Chureito Pagoda viewpoint is nearby, so a bowl fits easily into a day of sightseeing. Yamanashi's other noodle dish is hōtō, flat noodles stewed in miso with pumpkin: make it at home with our hōtō recipe.

About this guide
Built from Soupmap's catalog: our own selections plus open-data listings from Overture Maps and OpenStreetMap contributors. Open-data listings are reported locations, not independently checked; menus, prices, hours and current trading status are not verified. Styles come from shop names, so a place can serve more than its name says, or less.
Places are grouped by the municipality in their record. English municipality names come from official kana readings (localgovjp, CC0). Generated romanizations of shop names are approximate; the Japanese name is kept on every card. Sources and credits.
