Quality Ingredients Are Key

Vegetables

Nagasaki Chanmen prides itself on using a variety of fresh vegetables including cabbage, bean sprouts, onions, carrots, mushrooms, and corn. With a focus on high-quality domestic cabbage and bean sprouts, the total weight of vegetables in each serving reaches approximately 380 grams, meeting nearly the daily vegetable intake requirements for adults.

Fresh Noodles

To ensure quality, the restaurant produces its noodles daily at its in-house facility, utilizing locally sourced wheat from Yamaguchi Prefecture. This commitment to excellence results in noodles that are not only flavorful but also have a perfect chewy texture.

Traditional Broth

The soup base for Nagasaki Chanmen's dishes is made using whole chicken and pork bones, a recipe that has remained unchanged since the restaurant's founding. This traditional broth is infused with the umami flavors of vegetables and seafood, creating a rich and savory experience that pairs perfectly with every bowl.

The Unique Origin of Chanmen

The slogan "Not Ramen, Not Champon, but Chanmen!" underscores the unique features of this dish, as it cleverly blends the best aspects of both. Packed with 11 different ingredients that showcase the heartiness of Champon, alongside the deep flavors of ramen, customers can savor the deliciousness that comes with every slurp!
