Kingen Nagoya Osu Store Opens April 3, 2026! Hiroshima's Famous Soupless Dandan Noodles Arrive in Osu

King Factory Group (Headquarters: Hiroshima, Hiroshima Prefecture; Representative: Tsuyoshi Ozeki) will open "Kingen Nagoya Osu Store," a specialty store for Hiroshima-born soupless dandan noodles, on April 3, 2026. This store will be the 20th location, a milestone for our nationwide expansion, and the second in the Tokai district, following the Kingen Aeon Mall Nagoya Dome-mae store. We will promote the soul food that has been cherished in Hiroshima from the Nagoya-Osu area, where trends and food culture intersect, to further increase recognition in the Tokai area.

Hiroshima's specialty, "soupless dandan noodles," is a dish completed by thoroughly mixing fragrant chili oil, numbing Sichuan peppercorns, and a rich sauce with the noodles. As a specialty store, Kingen is particular about everything from ingredient selection to preparation methods and serving speed, and has been supported by many customers as a local gourmet of Hiroshima.

At Kingen, we recommend "mixing well 30 times before eating." The more you mix, the more the sauce intertwines with the noodles, integrating the aroma, flavor, and texture, allowing you to enjoy the change in taste from the first bite to the last.

In addition, 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, those who seek a solid kick will also be satisfied. The ability to create your own unique bowl to suit your mood and preference for the day is another reason why it is supported by so many customers.

The new Nagoya Osu store is located in an area that fuses street-food culture with youth culture, serving as a new hub for both tourists and local customers. Its simple yet addictive taste and fast service make it an excellent match for lunch demand and the highly-trafficked Osu area.
