Yakisoba

The last name to appear on the list of the most popular Japanese street foods is Yakisoba. It is a stir-fried noodle dish with sauce, a Japanese dish but of Chinese origin, and is considered a variation of Chinese stir-fried vermicelli. Yakisoba first appeared in Japanese restaurants around the early 20th century.

Yakisoba has a unique flavor with a thick sweet sauce similar to oyster sauce. In Japanese, Yaki means stir-fry and Soba means noodles. It is a delicious, easy-to-make, and unique dish that Japanese people love and eat every day. Yakisoba is made by stir-frying wheat noodles with a variety of ingredients, such as thinly sliced pork, crunchy cabbage, onions, carrots, and bean sprouts. The noodles are cooked to perfection, achieving a slightly chewy texture, while the vegetables bring a refreshing crunch to the dish.

The sight of skilled chefs flipping the noodles on large iron griddles, skillfully tossing them with precision, is truly a sight to behold. Yakisoba is not only a nutritious dish but also a sensory experience, as the sizzling and aromatic fragrance creates an irresistible allure. Yakisoba is commonly found at food stalls, festivals, and outdoor events throughout Japan. Yakisoba shops are always crowded with customers waiting to buy and take away. A serving of noodles is packaged in a box so you can take the subway and eat breakfast at the same time.
