Choosing a meal in Yamaguchi

Fugu is not Yamaguchi’s only distinctive meal. Kawara soba arrives on a heated roof tile rather than in a bowl of broth. A menu photo makes the serving style clear before you order.

Tips for choosing a restaurant

For a fugu meal, read how the fish is prepared in the course you’re considering. If you want kawara soba, menu photos of the tile-served noodles can help you find the right dish.
