Wanko soba - NINJA KOTAN

September itinerary in Japan Day 5 (Iwate Day 3 Meal edition) (Thursday, September 30) Table of contents Breakfast Lunch Milk and soft serve ice cream at Koiwai Farm Craft beer Dinner Breakfast I ate “Morioka Jajamen”, which is a “Local dishes loved by the nation” in Iwate prefecture, selected by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries for breakfast. The restaurant I ate was “Pairon Main Store”. It is said to be the origin of “Morioka Jajamen”. The “Pairon Main Store” is open from 9:00 to 21:00, so it is ideal for breakfast while traveling. It is a very convenient place near Morioka Castle Ruins Park. This is my second visit to the store. There are three sizes of “Jajamen” at “Pairon”: large (Yen 710), medium (Yen 610), and small (Yen 510). I asked for the middle size “medium”, but it’s a large size in a regular store. Please be careful. Add chili oil and vinegar to mix “Jajamen” if you like. After eating the noodles (actually, leave a little noodles), add Yen50 to make an egg soup called “Chitantan”. The egg is in the bowl on the table, so please break it yourself and ask the waiterread moreSeptember itinerary in Japan Day 5 (Iwate Day 3 Meal edition)

Both are not very seasonal, so those traveling to Iwate Prefecture in September should be able to eat them. https://www.maff.go.jp/j/nousin/kouryu/kyodo_ryouri/attach/pdf/190131-1.pdf 2.”Wan-ko soba” “Wan-ko soba” is known as one of the three major soba noodles in Japan, along with “Togakushi soba” and “Izumo soba”. Eating “Wanko soba” itself becomes an event, and it’s a lot of fun. I like soba, so of course I also love Wan-ko soba. However, even if you go to Iwate in September, the new soba that was just harvested in the fall may not be in time. This is because new soba is usually served from October to November. You can eat Wan-ko soba all year round, but if you are particular about new soba, you may want to go there in October-November. 3.”Hittsumi” “Hittsumi” is a dish in which a lump of wheat flour that has been kneaded with water and spread thinly is torn by hand, and chicken, burdock,read moreIwate’s local cuisine recommended in September
