Sanbotsu

Sanbotsu [山辞 さんぼつ] is a city located in south-central Hamae Prefecture. As of 2022, it has a population of around 70,000.
Sanbotsu lies in a mild valley region between the south-reaching fork of the Banzan Mountains and and the lower Hohara range. The Meisu River flows directly through the city, dividing it in half; it is crossed by the Sanbotsu Bridge. 
Sanbotsu is famous for its production of nōtobi potato noodles, and is one of four cities in the Honzura region to claim to be the birthplace of this food. Much like the other three, its claim cannot be fully confirmed as true, although most historians believe it to be the most likely place of origin. The Sanbotsu Nōtobi Festival is held every year in the city centre.
