Original Barisoba Honpo Shunraiken Nakaichi store
A beloved local eatery where you can savor Yamaguchi's soul food, Bari Soba.
A restaurant where you can enjoy Bari Soba, a Yamaguchi specialty dish with over half a century of history, inspired by Taiwanese noodle cuisine. Bari Soba features crispy fried noodles topped with a savory broth, making a "bari-bari" crunching sound when eaten, which is how it got its name. At first glance, it resembles Nagasaki's Sara Udon, but while Sara Udon has a thick, pork bone-based sauce, Bari Soba is served with a light, chicken-based broth, giving it a more refreshing flavor.
At this restaurant, fresh chicken bones are carefully prepared to make a flavorful broth. The dish is generously topped with vegetables and seafood, while the noodles are pan-fried using oil extracted from Choshu-dori chicken. You can customize the texture of your noodles, choosing between Bari-kata (crispy) and Yawaraka (soft). Adding vinegar soy sauce or ponzu for a flavor twist is also a popular way to enjoy the dish. In addition to Bari Soba, the restaurant also offers ramen, gyoza, and a variety of side dishes.
