Aoki Shoten is a local shop in Sakuragawa, Ibaraki Prefecture, known for its unique 'Hako Soba' (boxed yakisoba). Established over 20 years ago, this shop offers a taste of local flavor with its slightly rich, country-style yakisoba served on chewy noodles. Enjoy it fresh at the shop or take it to go in a special box, a tradition that started when yakisoba was packed in tomato or mandarin orange boxes. A box serving about three people costs around ¥1200. It's a popular spot with locals frequently picking up phone orders.
