King Ken Nagoya Osu Store to Open on April 3, 2026! Hiroshima's Famous "Soupless Dandan Noodles" Arrives in Osu

King Factory Group Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture; Representative: Tsuyoshi Ozeki) will open "King Ken Nagoya Osu Store," a specialty restaurant for Hiroshima-style soupless dandan noodles, on April 3, 2026. This store marks a milestone as the 20th location in its nationwide expansion and is the second store in the Tokai region, following the King Ken AEON MALL Nagoya Dome Mae store. We aim to further increase recognition in the Tokai area by promoting this soul food, long beloved in Hiroshima, from the Nagoya-Osu area, where trends and food culture intersect.

Hiroshima's specialty, "Soupless Dandan Noodles," is a dish perfected by thoroughly mixing fragrant chili oil, numbing Sichuan pepper, and a rich sauce with the noodles. As a specialty restaurant, King Ken is dedicated to every detail, from ingredient selection and preparation methods to serving speed, and has gained the support of many customers as a local Hiroshima delicacy.

At King Ken, we recommend "mixing thoroughly 30 times before eating." The more you mix, the more the sauce clings to the noodles, integrating the aroma, umami, and texture, allowing you to enjoy a changing flavor profile from the first bite to the last.

Additionally, the spiciness can be chosen according to your preference, so while those who are not fond of spicy food can enjoy it with peace of mind, it also satisfies those seeking a strong kick. The ability to create a unique bowl to suit your mood and preferences is one of the reasons it is supported by so many customers.

The new Nagoya Osu store is located in an area that fuses a street-food culture with youth culture, becoming a new hub for both tourists and locals. With its simple yet addictive taste and fast service operations, it demonstrates excellent affinity not only for lunch demand but also within the highly-trafficked Osu area.
