Sobameshi

Sobameshi

A hybrid dish combining yakisoba and rice! The sauce hitting the teppan hot plate adds a smokiness to the dish.

A comfort dish from Kobe, sobameshi combines yakisoba fried in sauce with added rice, and is an easy meal to eat for common folk. The sobameshi eaten in Nagata Ward, the battlefield for okonomiyaki, is simply the best!
