Why Nandaimon Is the Place People Choose Right Now

Although Nandaimon is a long-established restaurant founded in 1968, it is constantly taking on new forms of expression. In the National Yakiniku Cuisine Contest,winning the Grand Prix two years in a rowis a symbol of that stance. The dishes born from “sister co-creation,” with the older sister envisioning the world and the younger sister bringing it to life as cuisine, are complete works that offer not only flavor but a rich sense of story.

A Milestone Dish: Experiencing the “Pure White Ramen”

The award-winning dish is a bowl that captures the winter scenery of Tokachi in its vessel — apure white ramen. Your heart will race as the jet-black noodles, kneaded with charcoal, emerge from beneath the foamy white surface — an expression possible precisely because this is a yakiniku restaurant. The base komtan soup is a crystallization of the “life-rich umami” of Tokachi Wagyu, carefully extracted from the beef they handle every day. When the taregi (spicy miso) hidden at the bottom of the bowl begins to melt in, the second chapter of the flavor story begins, continuing right up to the very last bite. *Planned to be offered in limited quantities and by reservation only.

At the Core Is “Tokachi Wagyu” — Why Eating It Locally Matters

At the heart of Nandaimon is the local branded beef,Tokachi Wagyu.

• It boasts an exceptional balance between the sweetness of the marbling and a light, clean finish.
• After purchase, the beef is broken down and prepared in-house, then served in cuts and thicknesses that best bring out the character of each part.
• For seasoning, you can choose from house-made marinades based on soy sauce, miso, salt, or a blended salt-and-pepper mix.

Enjoying beef packed with producers’ hard work and the blessings of the land in its most delicious state, right where it’s raised — that is the true value of Nandaimon.
