Utsunomiya Yakisoba
On the iron griddle, the thick noodles dance with a chewy texture. The sauce is applied lightly, allowing you to enjoy it simply at first. If you prefer a stronger flavor, you can add more sauce from the table to suit your taste—that is the Utsunomiya way. Utsunomiya Yakisoba is a local specialty enjoyed in approximately 50 shops throughout the city. Its defining characteristics are the use of thick noodles and a savory sauce seasoning. It is said that yakisoba shops spread for several reasons: the ease of opening a shop with just an iron griddle, the high number of sauce manufacturers within the city, and a culture of eating takeout at home. During the food shortages following the war, it is even said that cabbage was the only ingredient used. Topping it with a fried egg is also a popular style. It is a simple yet profound taste of daily life for the people of Utsunomiya.
