Yakisoba Specialty Shop Ikari Shin-Nagata Tetsujin, Ashiyu Side Branch

Located in the nostalgic Shitamachi area of Shin-Nagata, Kobe, this specialty yakisoba shop serves up beloved local soul foods such as Sobameshi (fried rice with finely chopped yakisoba noodles) and Bokkake (beef tendon and konjac simmered in a sweet and savory sauce).

The menu is simple yet authentic, offering just four main dishes: Bokkake Yakisoba, Pork Yakisoba, Bokkake Sobameshi, and Pork Sobameshi. A must-try is their signature Bokkake Sobameshi, seasoned with "Bara Sauce," a famous local sauce from Nagata. The dish is intentionally prepared with a lighter flavor so diners can adjust it to their own preference using the additional Bara Sauce provided at each table. If requested, the staff can also offer the highly sought-after "Dobe Sauce", a spicy and rare sauce made from sediment collected during the production of Bara Sauce, which pairs perfectly with the sweetness of cabbage and tender wagyu beef tendons.

Don't miss the opportunity to try Nagata’s local drink specialty, "Apple," and consider picking up a bottle of Bara Sauce at the shop as a tasty souvenir to remember your visit.
