Yamaguchi Bari-soba
Hot, thick sauce flows over the hard-fried noodles. At first, they provide a pleasant, crunchy bite, but as you eat, they soak up the sauce and transform into a soft, moist texture. You can enjoy two different textures in a single dish. It is said to have originated in a shop within Yamaguchi City. Legend has it that it was created shortly after the war, inspired by Taiwanese noodle dishes, and some theories suggest it is even older than Sara-udon. The word 'bari' is said to either come from the Yamaguchi dialect meaning 'amazing' or from the 'bari-bari' sound of crunching the noodles. At the original shop, 'Shunraiken,' they reportedly achieve that signature texture by pan-frying noodles that have already been boiled for an additional 5 to 6 minutes. The sauce, packed with vegetables, seeps into the noodles. It is a soul food that the citizens of Yamaguchi dearly love.
