Houtou is a local dish of the Yamanashi prefecture. It is a stew of odon noodles (wide wheat noodles) and vegetables in a thick miso soup.
(squash houtou)
This dish is said to be the favorite of warlord Takeda Shingen (1521-1573) and his troops. He is a very powerful feudal lord during the Sengoku (warring states) period.

you forgot to mention that although there is miso, the soup of the hotou is actually pumpkin based. The pumpkin gives it that unique thickness and sweetness. Truly a great dish!
nagsi-serve kaya ng ganyan ang mga japanese resto dito sa pinas?
I'm not sure pero I tried ordering odon sa mga "authentic" Japanese restaurant dito pero iba pa rin yung lasa :)
Thanks for dropping by!
