Yoshida udon is a local udon dish beloved around Fujiyoshida City, Yamanashi Prefecture.
This is a rare udon dish that features firm, chewy noodles and toppings such as horse meat and cabbage.
It has also been selected as one of the "100 Best Local Dishes from Rural Areas," a list chosen from among the flavors of local areas around Japan, and it is the only place in Japan where it is eaten with a spicy seasoning called "suridane."

Yoshida udon is characterized by its thick, chewy noodles, toppings made with horse meat and cabbage, and a soup made from a combination of miso and soy sauce.
Yoshida udon was originally a home-cooked dish, so each restaurant has its own unique characteristics. For example, some restaurants use beef or horse meat, and the hardness and length of the noodles vary.
Although there are general rules, the freedom of not having any clear rules may also be a characteristic of Yoshida udon.

This experience is safe for anyone, including those who are not used to cooking, small children, and those who have never made udon before.
Many of our past guests have booked as a group with their family or friends. The more people there are, the more fun it will be.
Not only children, but adults too can enjoy the extraordinary task of "making noodles."

⭐️Allergy InformationNoodles: wheat flour, saltIngredients: cabbage, green onion, wakame seaweed, tempura flakesSoup: miso, seafood stock, beef stock, AjinomotoVegan and vegetarian options available.

  • When kneading the dough, use the belly of your hand to put your weight on it and bring it together. If white powder remains on the surface of the dough, it will not be kneaded properly. Knead vigorously until the entire surface of the dough is creamy. Especially small children may not have enough strength, so please cooperate with adults.

The thickness of Yoshida's udon noodles should be about the same thickness as disposable chopsticks. Feel free to stretch out the shape of the dough.
