Tokyo Station's "dancyu Shokudo," where you'll want to visit every day, to preview its "noodle-centric" yakisoba, developed over half a year with the dancyu editorial department, at "dancyu Festival 2026" on April 11th (Sat) and 12th (Sun)

"dancyu Shokudo" (operated by CLASSIC INC., Representative Director: Toshikatsu Kayaba, Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo), produced by the magazine "dancyu" (published by President Inc., hereinafter "President Inc.") located outside the Yaesu North Exit ticket gate within JR Tokyo Station, will preview a new menu item, a "noodle-centric" yakisoba, co-developed with the dancyu editorial department over more than six months, at the "dancyu Festival 2026" held on April 11th (Sat) and 12th (Sun), 2026.

This dish was developed by revisiting all aspects—noodles, sauce, ingredients, and cooking method—from scratch, with the goal of creating "ordinarily yet supremely delicious yakisoba." You can be among the first to enjoy this passionate yakisoba, packed with dancyu Shokudo's uniqueこだわり (dedication to quality), at the event venue.

"dancyu Shokudo," located within Tokyo Station, is a dining hall conceived with the concept of "a place you'll want to visit every day," offering set meals during the day and drinks and appetizers in the evening. It serves classic, "ordinarily delicious" standard menu items, each presented with a story, in the style of a traditional dining hall.

■"Noodle-centric" yakisoba, developed over half a year, to be previewed at dancyu Festival

The yakisoba to be previewed at "dancyu Festival 2026" originated from a yakisoba development project jointly undertaken by dancyu Shokudo and the dancyu editorial department.

Starting from the question, "What kind of noodle dish is suitable for dancyu Shokudo?" they focused on "yakisoba" as a dish beloved by all generations and enjoyable as an extension of everyday life. From there, under the concept of "noodle-centric yakisoba," they repeatedly prototyped and verified the dish for approximately half a year.

For the noodles, they collaborated with Nakazawa Seimen, a noodle manufacturer in Tochigi Prefecture, to develop original medium-thick square noodles. Based on domestic wheat, they blended firm Australian wheat and added whole wheat flour to achieve both the aroma of wheat and excellent compatibility with the sauce.

Instead of the steamed noodles common in the Kanto region, they adopted boiled noodles that better retain the wheat aroma, then grilled them firmly over high heat to create a crispy, fragrant exterior and a chewy interior.

For seasoning, two types of Worcestershire sauce are blended: a basic Tokyo-style Worcestershire sauce and a fruity Worcestershire sauce. Furthermore, by allowing the noodles to absorb Japanese dashi made from sardine flakes and mackerel flakes, a solid umami foundation is created beneath the sauce.

The ingredients are intentionally simple to highlight the deliciousness of the noodles themselves. They combine chashu made from pork belly, agedama (tempura crumbs), and a finishing touch of dried kale.

The offering at "dancyu Festival 2026" is a preliminary release preceding its official sale.

You can experience the "ordinarily yet supremely delicious yakisoba," which dancyu Shokudo and the dancyu editorial department earnestly aimed to create, earlier than anywhere else at the event venue.

The yakisoba is a simple yet profound dish where the fragrance and chewiness of the noodles, the umami of the chashu, the richness of the two sauces, and the lingering flavor of the Japanese dashi converge. It is also recommended to enjoy it with beer or sour cocktails.
