Dandadan Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Yuji Iishi), a subsidiary of NATTY SWANKY Holdings Inc., operates "Meat Juice Gyoza Dandadan" nationwide based on the philosophy of "creating stylish and dashing shops." It was founded in Chofu City, Tokyo in 2011 with the desire to create a restaurant where people can relax and enjoy gyoza and beer as the main stars.
This time, as a special project for the 15th anniversary of Dandadan, they are collaborating with "Tenkaippin," a popular Chinese noodle specialty chain originating from Kitashirakawa, Kyoto, known for its rich soup carefully boiled with chicken bones and vegetables, operated by Ten-ichi Shokuhin Shoji Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture, CEO: Kazuhito Kimura). Starting Monday, April 27, 2026, "Clay Pot Juicy Gyoza in Kotteri Soup" will be sold in limited quantities at Dandadan stores.
This collaboration started because the representatives from both Dandadan and Tenkaippin loved each other's brands and found common ground in having passionate fans among their employees.
Dandadan promotes the phrase "Gyoza and beer are a culture," while Tenkaippin has built a one-of-a-kind culture with its "Kotteri Ramen."
Considering how to bring out the best of each signature menu item, they developed the "Clay Pot Juicy Gyoza in Kotteri Soup," aiming for an addictive taste where the meat juices overflowing from the gyoza unite with the rich, thick soup.
In addition, by serving it in a clay pot, they emphasize the live feeling of being able to enjoy it piping hot until the very end.
With the desire to create a new experience by multiplying the high passion each brand possesses, the product was finished so that the individuality of both brands can be clearly felt. This realized a one-of-a-kind special collaboration between the original juicy gyoza "Dandadan" and the rich ramen "Tenkaippin."
