Hoto Tempura Wakana near Kawaguchiko (Mt. Fuji)


Hoto is a traditional Japanese dish from the Yamanashi Prefecture, known for its comforting and hearty nature. It features wide, flat udon-like noodles cooked in a rich, savory miso-based broth. The dish typically includes a variety of seasonal vegetables such as pumpkin, mushrooms, and carrots, along with sometimes meat or tofu. 

Hoto is particularly popular during the colder months, as its warm and satisfying nature makes it an ideal choice for chilly weather. The broth is often simmered to develop deep flavors, and the vegetables and noodles absorb the rich taste, making it a nourishing and fulfilling meal.
