### About Tanmen Specialty Shop "Tonari"
Tonari was founded in the space adjacent to the main store of the dipping noodle (tsukemen) specialty shop "Rokurinsha" operated by the company. The main store was later relocated to Toyocho, Koto Ward, Tokyo, on September 19, 2009. Currently, there are 6 locations primarily in Tokyo and Chiba.
While the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare recommends a daily vegetable intake of 350g, Tonari's Tanmen provides a voluminous 360g of vegetables per bowl. Eight types of vegetables are stir-fried over high heat in a short time, resulting in a fragrant and robust flavor. The dish features thick, flat noodles that hold the rich, savory, and deep flavor of the salty pork-bone soup. Set menus such as "Tangyo" and "Tankara" are also very popular.
