Discover Renge Shokudo Toshu

The name "Renge Shokudo" is imbued with a vision of spreading happiness through delicious meals, reminiscent of the essential ladle (renge) in Chinese cuisine, much like the chopsticks in Japanese dining. The flower language of the renge plant symbolizes happiness, and the restaurant aims to create a warm and inviting environment for patrons to enjoy both traditional and unique menu offerings, including set meals, drinks, and takeaway options.

Promising not to get old even after daily visits, customers can delight in their carefully crafted dishes, with gyoza made from high-quality ingredients being particularly popular for takeout.
