You won’t believe how they cooked and ate noodles in Shimonoseki, a small but scenic coastal town in Yamaguchi Prefecture in the west of Japan! Watch for more beautiful Japan travel destinations and to see our reactions to trying this Japanese noodle dish steeped in tradition in an extremely “Instagrammable” modern day setting & read more below to find out what Japanese samurai ate during battle!👇
Vlog Locations:
▶︎Mototsunomi Inari Shrine was selected as one of the 31 Most Beautiful Places in Japan by CNN. This stunning Japanese shrine by the sea has a pathway of red torii gates which contrast beautifully with the Japan Sea coast and it also has a very unusual tradition to pray for good luck!
▶︎The second longest bridge in Japan, Tsunoshima Bridge in Yamaguchi Prefecture, is famous for being one of the best places to drive in Japan, with its scenic coastal drive to Tsunoshima Island past cobalt blue seas and white sandy Japanese beaches. But the main reason the 1,780m bridge is one of Japan’s most popular driving courses is because pedestrians aren’t allowed to cross it!
▶︎Gran Vista Tsunoshima is what can only be described as one of Japan’s most Instagrammable cafés! This beautiful café right next to the Sea of Japan has been used as a filming location for Japanese TV dramas and is the perfect spot to sit outdoors in their terrace seats to try one of the must try foods in Yamaguchi: Kawara soba!
About the food:
▶︎What is “Kawara soba”?
瓦, “Kawara” means “roof tile” and そば “soba” are soba/ buckwheat noodles. Kawara soba literally means “roof tile soba noodles” and true to its name, green tea flavoured soba noodles are cooked on top of a burning hot roof tile and served with additional toppings like shredded egg, nori seaweed, pork, green onions, and mackerel.
▶︎How to eat Kawara soba:
The grated daikon radish and lemon are mixed into tsuyu (a kind of noodle dipping sauce made with bonito and kombu kelp) as you like and then the noodles and toppings are dunked into the tsuyu before eating. They’re cooked on the tile, so the longer you wait to eat, the more crispy the noodles become!
▶︎Where does Kawara soba come from?
According to its creator, Shinichi Takase, Shimonoseki’s iconic dish was inspired by stories of samurai who cooked food on top of the roof tiles during the Satsuma Rebellion/Seinan War in 1877 when the Satsuma army attempted to overthrow the Kumamoto Castle. They used the heat of their campsite flames and the black roof tiles common in the west of Japan to cook wild grasses and meat, but today, only food grade safe roof tiles are used, so you don’t have to worry about your health and safety while eating your hipster samurai soba!

I cannot even express how much I was not surprised at bear getting the coin in instantly. If he could maybe use some of his skills and good luck to help with getting me extra wishes and good luck. It does look beautiful
Bahaha my face just said it all 😩. I knew he’d do it, but somehow SOMEHOW I sort of thought he might miss at least once y’know? 😩
瓦そばかぁ…懐かしい👀❕
カリカリの茶そばが美味しいんだよね😊💓
山口県民です。
瓦そばは最高に美味いですよね。 0:59
Kind of reminds me on hot summer days we use to put a raw egg on an outdoor tiles to see whether the sun would cook it
I’ve always wanted to try this. Shame I was brought up in England 😆
旦那さん 日本人なんだ〜
奥さん大事にしてあげてね❗❤️
In Australia we are having opposite phenomenon with our summer - all rain and windy weather without the slightest trace of any beach weather throughout all the spring and now onto summer
I think we jinxed it - we’re due for lots of rain and snow now 🥲. Hopefully the weather picks up for you soon!
Great meal, beautiful surroundings. Thanks for sharing! Wish I could try it myself!
Hopefully someday you can! Thank you for coming along again ☺️❤️
日本中車中泊で旅をするのはいいですね。いい感じの海に行ったら釣りして魚捌いて食べたら良いかも。ちょっとした釣り道具を車に積んでおいてたまに釣りを楽しむのも良いですよ。
日本中の日本各地の郷土料理を食べて伝統工芸品を見たり買ったりしたらいいね。
日本人でも日本各地巡るとかほぼないし、いろんな方便いろんな料理いろんな伝統工芸にふれるのはすごく良いとお思う。
東京とか通販では食えない物と買えない物もあるはずなので行ってほしいかなあ。
宿や温泉も結構良い所が有るから行ってほしいかなあ。
下関は家でも瓦そばを作れるようにスーパーに瓦そば用の茶そばなどが置いてあるので、牛肉、卵、ねぎ、レモン、もみじおろしなどを追加で買って作るのも楽しいですよ。外で瓦そば食べる時は（たかせ）だったのでサバ入りの瓦そばは初めて見ました。
私も作ってみたいです！ 瓦そばはたかせが発祥と思いますので、最初にそこで食べたかったけどこの店は美味しかったです！次回、是非サバと食べてみてください！😊
What a beautiful spot!
瓦そばは、山口県下関市豊浦町発祥の麺料理で、下関市の郷土料理の1つですね。同じく、フグも本場の下関市で食べれるといいですね。
Beautiful places ❤️
あなた達夫婦は可愛すぎるわ❤️幸せそう … だから ちょっと奥さんにいたずらしたい😍😍
山口県の良いところを紹介してくれてありがとうございました😊
こちらこそありがとうございます！🥰
初めて見た瓦そば🎉
May your wish(es) come true...wow, so many beautiful sights and ending with such an unusual (tasty) dish!
瓦そば、めっちゃ食べたい🥳
コロナ前は角島で泳いで、帰りに川棚温泉で風呂に入って瓦そば食べて帰ってた
Guys, thanks for taking us on your trip to Yamaguchi prefecture. Interestingly, my great-grandfather emigrated from Yamaguchi to Hawaii in 1882. My grandfather was born 4 years later. With our kids now having kids, they are now our 6th generation in the USA. Keep the great work, the yakisoba looks tasty!
Wow that’s awesome! What a connection! I’m glad we could share a little part of your heritage 😊. Do you ever visit?
@@OshareJapan Yes, next summer. I'm retired and live in Okinawa, much closer than coming from California. Take care!
凄い❗そばですね❗美味しそう。
Have you ever tried eating off a hot tile? 😅瓦の上で食べてみたことはありますか？
ありまへ〜ん🤣
I have seen several samurai armors in traditional shops, and had been thinking what it feels like to be one of them, even though haven’t worn one yet.
Also, oh gosh… this kawara soba is indeed huge and the portion is a lot. I think the generals in the Sengoku era (戰國時代) needed lots of energy in the battlefield.
What a stunning place right at the end of Honshu!
I love that they made the dish a face haha
OMG HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS?? 🤣
@@OshareJapan Haha, it was upside-down for you, and you were very hungry!!!
山口に来られたんですね。
瓦そばはいかがでしたか？
山口県にはまだ他に秋芳洞、秋吉台、錦帯橋など有名な場所がありますよ。
是非行かれてみて下さいね。
山口にまた来てくださいね。
今度は、長門市の焼き鳥も。
焼きそばだと思っていた！つけ麺なんだ！
やっぱりあの辺に行ったら角島行かないとね
夏はもっと綺麗
わぁ〜美人だね❤️
サバが一番好きだとは、本当の魚好きだと思う。
私も魚ではサバが一番美味しいと思いますよ。
そうなんですか？なんか嬉しいです😆
瓦蕎麦は元祖たかせでね。
瓦そばなんて誰が考えたんだろう旨そうです
びっくりするぐらいに美味しかったです！😍
Is there a significance to the number of gates at the shrine?
After doing a bit of research, 123 is apparently a very auspicious number in Shintoism, not just because it sounds nice and it’s the start of something, but because it can be read as “hifumi”, which is the start of a Shinto ritual chant for purification and good fortune. Who knew!
瓦そば・・・間違ってなければ長州軍が維新の時にミリ飯として現地にあった物（瓦）で調理したのが定着したもののはず 間違ってたらゴメン
いつも楽しそうな、お二人💑
奥様はスカート、履かない派？（笑）日本語も実は話せて、理解もされてるし…才女
❣昔の動画にでも、二人の出会い…あるのかな。どこで知り合ったの、興味あるなぁ～😂
ありがとうございます！🥰
そしてたまに着てますよ！🤭💃🏼

旦那さん格好いいわぁ〜
ちょっと思ったんだけど 奥さんにどっきり仕掛けてよ
俺 実はゲイなんだ…なんてね
旦那さんに友達がいれば最高なんだけど
瓦ソバは茶ソバがパリパリに焼けているのが旨いだけで茶ソバ自体は旨くない。
そら箸は止めた方が。撮影の関係でかも？まぁ夫婦だから問題ないが。
他人(友達）と一緒の時など…気が付かない癖なら出まっせ。
