【Summer Spicy Grand Prix 2026】Chengdu Authentic Dan Dan Noodles Tsujita Returns with Limited-Edition 'Extra Spicy Saucy Dan Dan Noodles' Featuring Intense Heat and Numbing Sensation!

H.I.T WORLD Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Oishis Corporation (headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Satoshi Kudo), which operates popular dining establishments such as 'Kaneko Hannosuke' and 'Tanaka Soba Shop,' will once again participate in the 'Summer Spicy Grand Prix 2026,' held from Friday, July 10, 2026, to Sunday, August 30, 2026, at Ark Hills, operated by Mori Building Co., Ltd. (Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Shingo Tsuji). At the 'Chengdu Authentic Dan Dan Noodles Tsujita Ark Hills Store' within the complex, the company will offer a limited-time menu item designed to combat the intense summer heat and summer fatigue: the 'Authentic Saucy Dan Dan Noodles Extra Spicy,' an even more intensely flavored version of the regular menu.

This event is a popular initiative in which all 18 renowned restaurants in the Ark Hills area compete with their signature spicy dishes to overcome the summer heat. The 'Grand Prix' winner is determined by votes from customers who have dined at the participating restaurants. The victorious menu item earns an extension of its sales period, leading to fierce annual competition.

As in previous years, rising temperatures are expected this summer, with consecutive days of extreme heat raising concerns about summer fatigue and loss of appetite. Precisely because of these harsh conditions, we are offering a bowl that delivers intense spiciness and numbing sensation, recharging your body from within and helping you power through the summer with refreshing energy. We invite you to savor our 'Authentic Saucy Dan Dan Noodles Extra Spicy' during this limited period.

Three Key Features of the 'Authentic Saucy Dan Dan Noodles Extra Spicy'

Freshly Ground 'Sichuan Pepper'

Carefully selected Sichuan peppers, perfectly suited for dan dan noodles, are freshly ground each day to enhance the tingling numbing sensation and aromatic fragrance, creating an essential accent for authentic saucy dan dan noodles. The 'Extra Spicy' version uses double the amount compared to the 'Extra Hot' version.

House-Made Chili Oil

An original chili oil blend made from five types of chili peppers, designed to enhance spiciness without overpowering flavors. It harmonizes perfectly with the sesame-scented base soup, delivering a well-balanced umami taste.

Carolina Reaper

Generously using the chili pepper once recognized by Guinness World Records as 'the world's hottest,' this ingredient delivers a direct, sharp heat that creates an addictive flavor, making you unable to stop eating.
