Yamamotoya Okute store
Today is ``Whiskey Lovers Nagoya 2025”.
It was around 12:30, so I thought it was time to eat lunch.
There are restaurant booths inside the event venue, so you can eat lunch without leaving the venue, but since you have to eat standing up and it's difficult to get a table, I always go outside to eat.
This year is no exception, so this time we will introduce ``Yamamotoya Okute store” I visited.
This is a miso stew udon restaurant that is famous in Nagoya.
We arrived around 12:40 and there were several people waiting.
Perhaps it was just time for a change of seats, and I was shown around in about 10 minutes.
Miso stew udon with eggs and oysters
This is a type of restaurant where you order verbally to a member of staff and pay after your meal.
Normally ``Miso stew udon (1,150 yen)I was thinking of ordering ``, but when I looked at the menu, ``Miso stew udon with eggs and oysters (2,280 yen)”, so as an oyster lover, I had no choice but to order this.
I want to eat a lot to prevent getting sick, soLarge bowl of rice (370 yen)” I also asked for it.
It arrived in less than 10 minutes after ordering.
You can see that it is sticky even when the lid is closed.
Normally pot lids have air holes, but this lid does not have holes and is used as a serving plate for eating.
Let's get it then.
Tsuyu (Dipping Broth)
The ingredients are fried tofu, green onions, and oysters topped with toppings.
The soup has a rich flavor and richness from red miso, and the bonito is all over the place.
There's also oyster soup, and even though we're only halfway through the event, it's so flavorful that I think it's a good way to end the meal.
Udon
I had the impression that miso stewed udon was thick and chewy, but at this restaurant, the udon itself is about average thickness.
It is not boiled so that the surface is chewy and bouncy, but slightly hard.
There were many elderly customers, so I wonder if they were conscious of that.
I feel a little sad that there is no bokiboki, but it is a delicious udon.
oysters
Now, regarding the toppings, there were 5 oysters of this size even after they were cooked.
It has a chewy texture and a strong umami flavor.
This was a good topping.
rice
Once you have finished eating the udon and toppings, pour the soup over it and enjoy it zosui style.
I could have let it dive into the pot, but I wanted to drink the soup in its own way, so I poured the soup into the rice bowl.
I'm sure you all know or can imagine the compatibility of umami-rich soup and rice, so there's no need to say it, but it's perfect.
There's no need to say anything about the compatibility of the half-cooked egg with the rice.
Impressions
The total bill was 2,650 yen for miso stew udon with eggs and oysters and a large serving of rice.
The bill was quite high due to the oyster topping, but as an oyster lover, I have no regrets.
As expected, the miso stewed udon was delicious.
I think it's perfect for the cold season because it warms you from the core of your body.
I personally have no connection to Nagoya and have only been there for travel or work, but for some reason I find myself craving miso stewed udon.
Even in TokyoTamacho main store Yaesu store” and eat it occasionally.
Next time I visit Nagoya, I will visit another store and try to develop miso stew udon in Tokyo.
