Dish profile
About this dish
- Main ingredients
- Minced beef or pork, cabbage, noodles (soba)
- History and origin
- It is said to have been eaten as a snack or in place of a meal during the postwar period of rapid economic growth, when dual-income households were increasing. In shops it was called "soba niku tama," but in 2006 the Fuchu Chamber of Commerce and Industry began promoting it under the name "Fuchu Yaki." In 2022 it was recognized by the Agency for Cultural Affairs in the "Future 100-Year Food" category.
- When it is eaten
- It is the soul food of Fuchu residents, familiar since childhood, and is eaten at shops scattered around the city. February 28 each year is designated "Bingo Fuchu Yaki Day."
- How it is eaten
- It is grilled while being pressed down firmly with a spatula (kote), finishing crisp on the outside from the fat of the minced meat and fluffy on the inside. Another feature is the use of a sauce called "Carp Sauce," and some shops let you add "piri-kara men" (spicy noodles with chili pepper kneaded into them) as a topping.
