delicious Yamanashi dish.

Hoto is similar to udon.

Hoto與烏冬相似。

They're both made from kneading flour and water,

它們'都是用麵粉和水揉成的。

but with hoto, there's no salt added into the dough.

但與餺飥，有'沒有鹽添加到麵糰。

What salt does, is that it creates a chemical reaction

鹽的作用是，它能產生一種化學反應

that tightens the glucose structure in the dough.

使麵糰中的葡萄糖結構緊密。

What does that mean?

這意味著什麼？

It means that it results in a firm chewiness in the noodles,

意思是導致麵條有堅實的嚼勁。

which we call "koshi" in Japanese.

在日語中我們稱之為"koshi"。

So hoto, other than being much thicker than udon,

is also a lot softer.

There's no "koshi."

There's no "koshi."

It's more like thick dumpling skin than udon.

比起烏冬，它更像厚厚的餃子皮。

By the way, "koshi" is usually a good thing in noodles,

對了，"甲魚"通常是麵條中的好東西。

so why did they decide to leave the salt out of the hoto dough?

那為什麼他們決定不在麵糰裡放鹽呢？

Well, Yamanashi is completely inland

and didn't have access to saltwater.

hence, no salt!

they had very few rice fields,

and relied on different types of grains for their carbs.

As for the name,

至於名字。

there are various theories on where it comes from,

but one theory is that it comes from this word

但有一種說法是，它來自於這個詞。

hoto, meaning a treasured family sword,

餺飥，意為家傳寶劍。

passed down from one generation to the next.

代代相傳；

Why would a noodle dish be named after a sword?

為什麼一道麵食會以劍命名？

Well, they say that Takeda Shingen,
