Enjoy Familiar Home-Style Dishes Elevated by Culinary Skill
This is a local restaurant in Kofu City, Yamanashi, with a history of about 50 years. You can enjoy dishes such as houtou, made with Koshu miso and handmade noodles made from wheat flour produced in Hokuto City, and "Koshu beef croquettes". The broth is also characterized by its rich flavor made from bonito flakes, shiitake mushrooms, kelp, and other ingredients. It is best enjoyed with local Yamanashi sake.
Essential Koshu Miso Brings Out the Flavor of Hoto
The miso used in houtou is Koshu miso, a type of miso unique to Yamanashi made by mixing and fermenting rice and barley koji. Koshu miso is free of additives and is fermented slowly over a long period of time, resulting in a light yet mellow flavor. It is such an important ingredient that without it, houtou would not taste the same.
Meet "Fuji no Suke", a Premium Fish Born in Yamanashi
"Fujinosuke" is a brand of fish created by the Yamanashi Prefectural Fisheries Technology Center through crossbreeding king salmon and rainbow trout. Grown in the clean waters of Yamanashi, "Fujinosuke" has no unpleasant smell and a refreshing taste. It is popular for being easy to eat even for people who don't like salmon, and is a delicacy that is hard to find outside the prefecture.
