Route 1 runs through Kameyama and always has, which meant a steady traffic of long-distance lorry drivers and a row of canteens that fed them. What those canteens made was udon fried on a hotplate with meat and vegetables and coated in a red miso sauce — filling, salty and cheap, which is what a driver at two in the morning wants.

It stayed a local dish for decades before the city organised around it, and it is now made in homes across Kameyama as well as in the shops. The miso is the point: red bean miso, which is the Tokai region's soy paste, made up differently by every establishment. Kawamori Shokudo near the Meihan expressway is one of the long-standing ones and makes its own.

Served across Kameyama at canteens, izakaya and restaurants, and made at home. The dish is udon fried on a hotplate with meat and vegetables in a red-miso sauce, and grew out of the roadside canteens serving long-distance drivers on Route 1. Kawamori Shokudo near the Meihan Expressway is a long-established example, serving its own miso alongside grilled meat and set meals. Individual establishments' hours, rest days and prices vary — confirm before travelling.

インサイダーガイド

**Red miso, and every shop differs.** The Tokai bean paste is the base and each establishment blends its own. Comparing two is the local sport. **It came from lorry drivers.** Route 1 canteens feeding long-distance traffic. That origin explains the portion size and the salt level. **It is cooked on the hotplate.** Not boiled and dressed. The scorching against the miso is a large part of the flavour. **Canteens keep canteen hours.** Some open early, some late, and rest days are irregular. Ring ahead for a specific shop. **Combine with Seki-juku.** The preserved Tokaido street is in the same city, and the pairing of an Edo post town with a lorry drivers' dish is a fair summary of Kameyama.
