Yamamotoya Sohonke Honke

At Yamamotoya Sohonke Honke, you can enjoy miso nikomi (stewed) udon, a signature Nagoya dish. It is an exquisite gourmet dish that combines fermented seasoning miso, carefully prepared dashi stock, and chewy udon noodles. Yamamotoya Sohonke was founded in 1925. It will turn 100 years old in 2025. Yamamotoya Sohonke's miso nikomi udon is characterized by its chewy texture. The product is served simmering with a satisfying texture. Apparently, some customers who don't like hard noodles choose not to eat them right away, but rather let them steam for a while with the lid on. When slurping a mouthful of noodles, you can sense the wonderful elasticity and flavor of noodles that have absorbed just the right amount of soup. It has a rich wheat aroma, so it feels like you're eating wheat rather than udon. The original blended miso is so addictive that you can gulp it down after finishing the noodles and toppings. Once the umami of the ingredients and the noodle flavor have been transferred to the soup, you'll feel like it would be a waste to leave it behind. In addition, the beef tendon, which can be ordered from just one stick, has a different taste from the miso nikomi udon even though it is made with the same miso. The beef tendon has a smooth texture with a hint of sweetness, and the melt-in-your-mouth texture and rich aroma of miso are irresistible. It pairs well with rice and udon, making it a must-order dish. You can place orders from 11:00 to 15:30. It is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so don't forget to check the regular holidays when visiting. (*Operating hours are subject to change if it is a holiday)
