The legacy of Kabenoana began in 1953, originally named 'Hole in the wall', when it opened in Chuo-ku, Tokyo. Founded by Takayasu Narimatsu, who is regarded as the father of Japanese-style spaghetti, the restaurant quickly gained a reputation for its delicious meat sauce spaghetti. Narimatsu's dedication to quality and creativity inspired the development of over 200 varieties of spaghetti, including unique flavor profiles such as natto spaghetti, shimeji mushroom spaghetti, and wasabi spaghetti.
Over the years, Kabenoana has offered more than just delicious food; it has created a warm and friendly atmosphere where customers can engage with the chefs in a true culinary exchange. This strong sense of culture and community continues to define Kabenoana as a beloved dining experience.
