History & Culture

The Story Behind the Dish

📍 Kitakyushu, Fukuoka📅 1940s🍝 JP

Yaki udon is said to have been born in Kokura, Kitakyushu, just after the Second World War, when a shop owner ran out of yakisoba noodles and used udon instead.

It quickly spread across Japan as a cheap, filling dish for izakaya and home kitchens.
