Shizuoka

One of the nationally famous local dishes.

Fujinomiya Yakisoba

This local specialty is made by heating lard on a hot plate, frying meat and cabbage, then adding noodles that have been fried separately, and finally mixing sauce and sardine powder (or bonito flakes) and topping with pickled ginger. It started off like regular fried noodles, but evolved as a side menu at popular okonomiyaki restaurants, cooked using less water to help it keep fresh longer, eventually becoming unique to Fujinomiya. There is now a ‘Fujinomiya Fried Noodle Society’, and it is promoted all over the country.
