Kishimen Yoshida Esca Location
A kishimen specialty restaurant serving fresh-made noodles sourced directly from their own factory.
This kishimen noodle shop is run directly by a noodle maker that founded originally in 1890. Every morning the factory sends a new batch, meaning only the absolute freshest noodles are used. The wheat is carefully selected blend made for optimum noodles, using Kinuakari and Ayahikari domestic wheat brands, hailing from Aichi and Mie prefectures. The noodles are made with a soft water for an extra rounded bite, and ingredients selected with absolutely no shortcuts for optimum flavor. The noodle dough is then aged, making the extra springy, chewy and soft texture.
The mellow, horse mackerel-based broth has an extra richness that makes you want to drink it all up. There’s plenty of flavor combinations to try, from a bowl of simple kishimen to a number of different toppings like the Happou, made with Chinese ingredient “Happousai”. Swing by for an authentic taste of Nagoya, with kishimen noodles even as local as a Hatcho miso-based kishimen made with miso from Okazaki in Aichi.
