Fujinomiya Yakisoba is little bit different from regular Yakisoba.
Then, what's the difference?
1. Its noodle is slightly harder than regular one (kind of rubbery...)
and only two companies, "Marumo" and "Kano-ya" are producing the noodle.

2. It includes Niku-kasu that are peaces of fried meat, and they are crunchy
(History)
In 2000, "Fujinomiya Yakisoba Gakkai" which is an organization for promoting Fujinomiya Yakisoba. They challenged The Guiness Book of World Records by making Yakisoba for 3776 people. Can you guess the meaning of 3776? This number is the hight of Mt Fuji. As you may know, Mt Fuji is located on part of Fujinomiya city, so they challenged making Yakisoba for 3776 people. At that time, they used 6m long hot plate. I ate this Yakisoba:) In 2006, Fujinomiya Yakisoba was awarded for the first "B-1 Grand Prix", and then it was awarded for the second "B-1 Grand Prix" in 2007. Since then, it has been becoming famous popular.
There are a lot of restaurants that serve "Fujinomiya Yakisoba" everywhere in Fujinoiya.
If you have a chance to go to there, find the flag of "Fujinomiya Yakisoba" and eat!!
