What is "hoto"

is a popular regional dish originating from Yamanashi, Japan made by stewing flat udon noodles and vegetables in miso soup. Though hōtō is commonly recognized as a variant of udon, locals do not consider it to be an udon dish because the dough is prepared in the style of dumplings rather than noodles.

Hoto may mean:

• Head of the Ohio, a rowing regattta in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

• , dish found exclusively in Yamanashi prefecture, Japan

• hōtō, a Japanese type of pagoda. See the article Tahōtō.
