Ganso New Tantanmen Honpo is a Chūka style restaurant based out of Kawasaki, Kanagawa. First opened by master Genkichi Igarashi, the restaurant originally specialized in yakiniku (meat bbq) before the dish 'new tantanmen' appeared on the menu a few years later in 1967. It was named 'new tantanmen' because it differs from both tantanmen eaten in mainland China and the version commonly served at Chinese restaurants in Japan. Igarashi-san is said to have arranged the dish so that it builds stamina. Ganso New Tantanmen Honpo now operates over 40 branches in Japan, most of them located around Kawasaki. The dish new tantanmen is widely known as one of the soul foods of Kawasaki. This Kyomachi store is the flagship and original location. 50 seats. Open since 1964. @gansonewtantanmenhonpo Less
