At Hoto Fudo's Kawaguchiko Kita Main Shop by Lake Kawaguchi, it was bitterly cold outside, so stepping into the restaurant felt especially wonderful!
I ordered a piping-hot bowl of hoto. It was still steaming when it arrived at the table, with wide noodles and plenty of vegetables. The broth was warming and filling, and a bowl on a cold day was truly comforting.
Especially after being out in the cold wind at Lake Kawaguchi for a while, I could really feel my whole body warming up. In weather like this, eating a steaming bowl of hoto is what makes traveling feel so satisfying!
