Food Scene
In the seventies Yonehama-san operated an udon shop. He was also an avid sumo fan and often visited the wrestlers’ stables, sharing their staple meal chanko-nabe, a hot-pot of veggies, meat and seafood. Typically, noodles are added towards the end of the meal. Yonehama-san questioned the need to wait, and developed a noodle that wouldn’t go soggy and could be enjoyed from the start of the meal. Now, at any of the nine Menchanko-tei shops in Kyushu (and one in Waikiki, Hawaii).
