King-ken Nagoya Osu Branch (April 3, 2026) Grand Opening! Hiroshima's Famous 'Soupless Tantanmen' Arrives in Osu

King Factory Group Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture; Representative: Tsuyoshi Ozeki) will open "King-ken Nagoya Osu Branch," a soupless tantanmen specialty restaurant originating from Hiroshima, on April 3, 2026. This location marks the chain's milestone 20th store nationwide and its second location in the Tokai region, following King-ken Ion Mall Nagoya Dome Mae. The brand aims to bring Hiroshima's beloved soul food to the Osu area—where trends and food culture intersect—and further expand its recognition across the Tokai region.

Hiroshima's signature "soupless tantanmen" is a bowl completed by thoroughly mixing fragrant chili oil, the numbing tingle of Sichuan pepper, and a rich sauce into the noodles. As a dedicated specialty restaurant, King-ken pursues excellence in ingredient selection, preparation methods, and service speed, earning broad support as a Hiroshima local culinary gem.

King-ken recommends mixing the bowl thoroughly 30 times before eating. The more you mix, the better the sauce coats the noodles, unifying the aroma, umami, and texture into one—allowing guests to enjoy evolving flavors from the very first bite to the last.

Spice level can also be customized to personal preference, making it approachable for those who are sensitive to heat while still satisfying those who crave a serious kick. The ability to craft your own perfect bowl to match your mood is one of the key reasons the restaurant has earned such loyal support.

The new Nagoya Osu branch is situated in an area where street food culture and youth culture converge, serving as a new hub for both tourists and locals. Its simple yet addictive flavor profile and fast service operations make it an excellent fit not only for lunch demand but also for the high-footfall, exploratory nature of the Osu district.
