A delicious houtou noodle/soup shop. Houtou consists of thick noodles (think dumplings) served with vegetables and meat in a miso based broth. I had the spicy kalbi but one can also get bear, boar, pork, or duck. It is a delicious meal but come hungry because it is SUPER filling.

Liked it a lot! Noodles w mushrooms were an awesome local entree. Roasted frog was great too (somewhat like a large chicken wing). The horse meat was not my favorite (coming from the NE in the US), but glad we tried it. Picture menu and English menu available .
Had the pork specialty hou to noodle. It was tasty and quite good for what it was... savory wise noodle. The noodle was wide, veggies were plenty and the pumpkin gourd was tasty. I saw the shrimp tempura and kinda wished I got it too. Seems like there are still a few good places around the lake for food but the area itself feels like a lot of businesses are being boarded up and new businesses are not taking over. I think this place will stick around.
We went there for dinner and ordered the tampura, fried squid and noodle soup. Food was fantastic and service was very good. Limited English from the staff but enough to get by. We’ll be heading back for lunch.
Super friendly staff. Try the local speciality houtu - delicious thick noodles with plenty of vegetables. Sit on the floor for a different experience. Lots of locals dine there too. You can even buy the noodles and miso to recreate at home.
