................................$Dining at Houto Labo Kawaguchiko feels like getting a warm hug from Fujikawaguchiko’s culinary soul, and the menu is at the heart of that charm. The spotlight here is unmistakably on their 自家製麺 海鮮ほうとう (Seafood Houto) - thick, miso‑rich broth packed with fresh seafood and chewy, handmade noodles that speak to local tradition while pushing flavor boundaries. Equally inviting is the Unagi Don (Eel on Steamed Rice), where sweet, glazed eel over rice complements the noodle‑centric offerings perfectly, giving you a satisfying mix of textures and tastes. For something lighter yet refreshing, the Chilled Soba Noodles are a crisp counterpoint to the richer broths, especially on warmer days around Lake Kawaguchi. Interspersed between these are satisfying sides and fun twists like 寿司 (sushi) rolls, ホトチ (hoto with cheese) that blends creamy and savory in a playful way, and crisp 鶏の唐揚げ (chicken karaage) that adds a familiar crunch. The menu doesn’t forget comforting classics such as Noodle Soup either, which pairs beautifully with a glass of ジンジャエール (ginger ale) to cut through the richness. And if you’re craving seasonal or vegetable‑forward fare, you’ll find the vibrant 夏野菜カレーほうとう (summer vegetable curry houto) brings a bright, spiced kick to the table. Together, these dishes create a menu that’s both rooted in tradition and delightfully inventive, making it easy to leave feeling full and happy.
