    Established in 1972, this ramen purveyor is a one of the quintessential of Yonezawa ramen, for which many customers stand in line to enjoy. The shop has their own noodle making factory, and while seated at the bar one can watch noodles being made. The broth, which enhances the noodles, hand-kneaded prior to boiling, is made of chicken and dried fish simmered for hours to perfect the flavor.

The resilient, thin, crimped noodles are a perfect complement to the broth. The shop closes for the day when the broth runs out.

    The Uesugi Hakushakutei (Uesugi Earl’s House), which was built as the residence for the 14th Earl Mochinori of the Uesugi clan on the site of Ninomaru in the former Yonezawa Castle in 1896, was burnt to the ground in the Great Fire of Yonezawa, but the building and the gardens, landscaped by Tokyo Hamarikyu, were completed in 1925. Following this it became the Uesugi Memorial Hall where local cuisine was served and exhibitions were held. It is the only place in Yonezawa where guests can enjoy ‘katemono’, or food items, created by Lord Yozan Uesugi and said to be the origin of Yonezawa’s local cuisine.

    I had a wonderful experience at Uesugi Hakushakutei for my first visit in Yonezawa and yet it is still a must-go to place whenever Im in Yonezawa. It is a perfect place to have proper lunch or...

    Established in 1965, this restaurant is reputed for its Chinese noodles with a thick soy sauce soup accentuated with garlic and using a luxurious amount of beef fat.

    平日11時過ぎに訪問。 券売機でチャーシューメン950円を買いカウンターに着席。 着丼まで結構かかり10分。 そのせいかスープは熱々出なかったのは残念。 チャーシューは満足行く量がありましたが、ほろほろとか柔らかいとかではなく昔ながらの硬めのチャーシュー。 スープは中華そばにしては脂も多く味もしっかりしていて美味しかったです。

    At this tastefully decorated restaurant, you can eat cuisine using the best quality carp carefully selected by experts and grown in the clear mountain waters of the castle town, Yonezawa.

The restaurant’s three special dishes are wonderful, not to mention the lunchtime-only set meals. It is around 11 minutes on foot from JR Yonezawa Station.

    脂はすっかり抜けているが、魚の旨味はしっかりと凝縮されている。シャクシャク...と言うかなんと言うか、洗い独特の食感。もし、何も言わずに供されたら、スズキの洗いと判別が付かない方も多いのではないだろうか。それくらい川魚特有のクセを感じない。鯉...こんなに美味しかったっけ?刺身がふた切れほど添えられているが、身が締まって旨味の塊になっている洗いに比べて、刺身はやわらかく、脂も残っている。臭みもとく...

Yamagata Areas

around-area-map

Although often overlooked, Yamagata prefecture by no means lacks appeal: the Yamadera temple trail through the mountains, deliciously tender Yonezawa wagyu, and over 100 steaming hot springs, most notably Zao Onsen, await visitors. When winter comes, the snowcapped peaks become dotted with skiers by day and onsen-goers by night, while summer brings the celebration of juicy Yamagata cherries.
