Yonezawa Ramen
Thin, curly noodles are gently enveloped in a clear, light soy sauce soup. With every slurp, the deep flavors of dried sardine and chicken bone broth resonate—this is Yonezawa Ramen, affectionately known as "Chuka Soba." Its origins are said to trace back to a Chinese food stall in Yonezawa during the 1920s. Eventually, a unique method spread where artisans would hand-knead each portion of dough to create curls and let it rest for several days. The slightly dark, thin noodles are also referred to as "Yonezawa's Black Chuka." With over a hundred shops lined up within the city alone, each competing with their own prideful bowl, it stands as the quintessential light-style representative of Yamagata, the kingdom of ramen. The joy of food touring here is endless.
