Hato Day (Miyagi Prefecture)

August 10th "Hatto Day" by Kesennuma City noodle manufacturer Marumitsu Seimen Co., Ltd., based on the play on words "hatto," a local dish from the northern part of Miyagi Prefecture, which sounds like "hatto" (8) and "tto" (10).

"Hatto" is a local food that is handed down in Tome City and its surrounding areas. It is made by kneading wheat flour, rolling it out thinly, and boiling it in a soup made with soy sauce or miso, or boiling it in hot water and mixing it with bean paste

It is similar to what is called "suiton" or "hittsumi" in other regions
