When in Yamanashi prefecture you MUST try the local Houtou noodle hotpot! Its been over 10 years since I went to my 1st experience and it was soooo goood!
So my local friend decided to pop into Akafuji... a choice due to convenience.
Lots of space!
Original spicy miso...works well with chilled skinny Japanese cucumbers.
zBasic and most popular Pumpkin Houtou starts at 1,265 yen,
Went with the 1,485 yen sliced pork item.
Looks like home made umeshu (Plum sake)
Comfy tatami seating with opening below the table to dangle your feet.
Soba noodle prep area.
First dish was their chicken gizzards with quail eggs.... a bit on the very sweet side. Almost tasted like a sweet teriyaki sauce.
And my Houtou Arrives! At first glance the soup looked very light and not so muddy with very little miso paste. Hmm...
This pot is actually huge! Can easily serve 2 adults.
Noodles were on the unusually thin side.
Overall the Houtou served here really lacked any punch and the flavor was rather watered down. I later met with the mayor of this town and he totally didn`t recommend it as the soup is watery. Anyways the staff was super friendly and maybe other options are better! Its a skip for me!
