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

King Factory Group Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture; Representative: Tsuyoshi Ozeki) will open the King Ken Nagoya Osu store, a specialty shop for Hiroshima-style soupless dandan noodles, on April 3, 2026. This will be the 20th store, marking a milestone in our national expansion, and the second in the Tokai district, following the King Ken store at Aeon Mall Nagoya Dome Mae. We aim to further increase our recognition in the Tokai area by promoting this Hiroshima soul food from Nagoya's Osu, an area where trends and food culture intersect.

Hiroshima's specialty, "Soupless Dandan Noodles," is a dish perfected by thoroughly mixing noodles with fragrant chili oil, numbing Japanese pepper, and a rich sauce. As a specialty store, King Ken is meticulous about everything from ingredient selection and preparation methods to serving speed, earning the support of many customers as a local Hiroshima delicacy.

At King Ken, we recommend that customers "mix well 30 times before eating." The more you mix, the more the sauce coats the noodles, uniting the aroma, flavor, and texture for a delightful change in taste from the first bite to the last.

Furthermore, customers can choose their preferred level of spiciness. While those who are not fond of spicy food can enjoy it with peace of mind, those seeking a fiery kick will also be satisfied. The ability to customize a bowl to suit one's mood and preference is one of the reasons for its widespread popularity.

The new Nagoya Osu store is located in an area that blends a culture of eating on the go with youth culture, serving as a new communication hub for both tourists and locals. Its simple yet addictive flavor, combined with fast service, makes it an excellent fit not only for lunch demand but also for the highly walkable Osu area.
