Hōtō noodles (pork and pumpkin variations)

Highly recommended by many reviewers for its thick, wide, soft, and chewy noodles served in a flavorful, miso-based broth with various vegetables including tender pumpkin. The portions are large and filling, with versions including pork or spicy pork for those who enjoy heat. The pumpkin adds creaminess and sweetness to the broth, enhancing the rich local flavor.

#2

Tempura (shrimp and anago)

Praised for being delicious and generously portioned, especially the shrimp tempura which many found crispy and well-prepared. Tempura bento sets are noted as a favorite complement to the noodles, adding a crunchy texture and variety to the meal.

#3

Fried small fishes

Mentioned as nicely crispy and delicious, these were a popular alternative when fried chicken karaage was sold out, appreciated for their crunch and flavor.

#4

Spicy sauce/paste

Recommended as a condiment to add to the hōtō noodles to enhance and vary the flavors, providing a fragrant and slightly spicy kick that complements the mild broth.

#5

Pumpkin ice cream

Noted for its pleasant texture and balanced sweetness, this dessert provides a nice finish to the meal and ties into the restaurant’s theme of local pumpkin flavors.
