Kabocha Hoto is Yamanashi's local speciality. Home-made Hoto is the best. This is our family's recipe.

It is quite tasty when some of the Japanese kabocha squash are cooked down and melt into the soup after simmering. If all the kabocha is going to be like this it will be too much so save half of it for adding to the dish later. The noodles have flour (to avoid sticking to each other) and we cook them without removing it so the resultant soup will be quite nicely thick. It is easy to burn at the bottom of the sauce pan so stir occasionally. Recipe by TOMOTOMO
