Horumon Udon, a specialty of long-established restaurants

Octopus dumplings in Osaka, miso katsu in Nagoya, ramen in Hakata, beef tongue in Sendai, gyoza in Utsunomiya…. Local gourmet foods exist in every corner of Japan. Here in Tsuyama City, too, there is such a B-class local gourmet.
The name is ” Horumon Udon” (hormone udon ).
Since winning third place in the 2009 B-1 Grand Prix (a B-class local gourmet festival), it has been gaining momentum as a new specialty of Tsuyama. However, its origin is surprisingly old. Originally, this region was a popular area for raising Japanese black cattle. It was common to eat fresh hormone grilled on a teppan grill. When the Okayama National Athletic Meet was held in Okayama in 2005, Tsuyama decided to market hormone udon as a local gourmet dish. The owner of Hashino Shokudo is one of the pioneers of this idea. Hashino Shokudo has had horumon udon as a popular menu item for nearly 30 years. He is the driving force behind this boom. Hashino Shokudo has been in business for 120 years. Although it is a long-established restaurant, it has a homey atmosphere where you can enter without hesitation. The owner’s personality is also warm.
Now, the hormone udon, the dish you have been waiting for. First, fresh hormone is placed on a sizzling hot griddle. Then, add green onions, bean sprouts, and two balls of udon noodles, stir-fry them, and finally, dip them in homemade spicy miso sauce.
The tender hormone is juicy and melts in your mouth when you take a bite. The fat from the hormone and the sauce are well mixed with the udon noodles. The price is only 770 yen for such a hearty dish! Incidentally, there is no such thing as a “hormone udon restaurant” in Tsuyama, and this is just one of the menu items. It is served at various restaurants, and the sauce and ingredients vary from restaurant to restaurant, so it is fun to try and compare.

Six rooms with different themes at Ganmuran

Located in Yubara Onsen in the northern part of Okayama Prefecture, Ganmuran is a private hotel with only six rooms. All rooms have a spacious bath with free-flowing hot-spring water, and you can enjoy our original Japanese kaiseki cuisine. In addition to lodging, guests can also enjoy a day trip to the hot spring with a delicious meal.
Each of the six rooms has its own theme and interior design. The names of the rooms are also wonderfully themed: “Benigara” with passionate red as the base color, “Hayarabi” with fresh green, “Byakuya” with chic black and white natural marble, “Ruri” with mysterious blue, “Tenku” with a rooftop outdoor bath, and “Rindo” with cat foot bathtubs and solitude to enjoy your time alone. We hope you will spend a relaxing time without being disturbed by anyone at “Gamoran,” a new style of hot spring hotel that combines the liberating feeling of enjoying a hot spring bath in yukata like a ryokan and the hospitality of a hotel that values the privacy of its guests, each with its own relaxing atmosphere.
