Restaurant Overview
Features and Specialties
- The “Passionate Red Sign” Lighting Up the Night in Owada, Fukui—Ally of the 24-Hour Hungry Stomachs, “Yamaokaya” : Located in Owada, Fukui City, this nationally popular shop sits powerfully along the national highway. It’s like an ever-open fortress, providing a bowl with unchanging heat and energy no matter what time you visit.
- “Rich Tonkotsu Soup,” Heavy and Mellow, Stewed Fresh in-Shop Every Day : The lifeblood of Yamaokaya—a soup made by stewing selected pork bones for four days. Its wild yet deep body and aroma, which you wouldn’t expect from a chain, are the source of the “Yamaokaya addiction” that captivates anyone who tries it.
- “Extra-Thick Straight Noodles” with Outstanding Presence to Receive the Powerful Soup : Specially developed extra-thick noodles that don’t yield to the rich soup. The strong texture packed with wheat fragrance delivers the soup’s umami with a punch in every slurp, giving you the firm sensation of “eating noodles.”
