Taste Authentic Yokote Yakisoba at a Four-Time Champion Favorite Local Restaurant
About this spot
A beloved local restaurant that has repeatedly earned recognition in the "Yokote Yakisoba Four Champions" competition ranking the best yakisoba establishments. Yokote yakisoba is prepared by stir-frying thick, straight noodles in a sweet Worcestershire sauce, then topping with a crispy-bottomed fried egg and sweet pickled radish—a tried-and-true tradition. When you mix the rich, runny yolk with the noodles, the creaminess blends beautifully with the savory aroma of the sauce, making it impossible to stop eating. This yakisoba has won top honors at nationwide local gourmet festivals, and enjoying it fresh from the griddle at its birthplace fills you with the satisfaction of having achieved the purpose of your journey. In the evening, the restaurant becomes a bustling izakaya where locals gather, and you can also sample other Akita flavors.
Tips
Located about a 10-minute walk from JR Yokote Station in the downtown area. Since the restaurant focuses on izakaya service at night, confirm the lunch operating hours and closure days in advance if yakisoba is your target. As a popular spot, expect lines during peak lunch times; visiting after 1 p.m. is more convenient. Prepare cash for payment to be safe.
Best time to visit
Plan for about 1 hour. After 1 p.m., when the lunch rush has passed, you can enter without waiting.
