🍜 Mikuriya Soba

A local dish of the Mikuriya area in Gotemba City. As this area grew a lot of wheat and soba (buckwheat), farmers made soba noodles using native yams instead of water, eating it with a dipping sauce made with chicken stock. The soba had an unassuming flavor, with the added yam creating a pleasant eating experience. Chicken stock is used for the broth, with chicken, carrots and shiitake mushrooms as the characteristic ingredients.
