Ueno Yakisoba Specialty Shop Serving Yakisoba Born in Oita
Overview
In the Ueno–Okachimachi area, you'll find Sofuren Ueno, a yakisoba specialty shop serving yakisoba that originated in Oita.
Yakisoba is an everyday dish, but what sets this shop apart is that its signature is the yakisoba born in Oita. The shop is said to be known by everyone from Kyushu, and the manager declares, "It's no longer just B-grade comfort food." Since the shop specializes in yakisoba, it's a good fit for anyone who wants to savor one carefully made plate.
Besides yakisoba, side dishes are also available. There are "Bite-Size Gyoza (8 pcs)," small dumplings with thin wrappers, and the "Premium Ham Tasting," which lets you compare juicy Unzen ham with dense, firm Meiho ham. Both pair well with the yakisoba.
If you'd like to try yakisoba that's a little different from the usual while in Ueno, why not stop by?
