Hōtō (ほうとう) is a popular regional dish originating from Yamanashi Japan made by stewing flat udon noodles and vegetables in miso soup. Though hōtō is commonly recognized as a variant of udon locals do not consider it to be an udon dish because the dough is prepared in the style of dumplings rather than noodles.
