A Culinary Tradition

Chanko Nabe has roots dating back to the Meiji Era, when it became a staple in sumo stables, serving as hearty meals for wrestlers. The term 'chanko' itself is derived from the relationship between the sumo master and the trainees, with 'chan' meaning 'father' and 'ko' meaning 'child'. This traditional dish is not only delicious but also packed with nutritious ingredients such as vegetables, tofu, and proteins, making it a perfect choice for maintaining a healthy diet.

About Chanko Edosawa

Founded in 1974 by a former sumo wrestler, Chanko Edosawa has built its reputation on serving authentic chanko nabe, using traditional cooking methods that emphasize the quality of ingredients. Our chicken broth is simmered meticulously, primarily using premium 'old chicken' to extract deep flavors. We take pride in offering unique blends of soy sauce, miso, and salt broths that reflect our dedication to authentic Japanese cuisine.

Our Commitment to Quality

1. Quality Chicken Soup
Chicken has historically been regarded as an auspicious food for wrestlers, as it's considered good fortune to consume it. Our signature chicken soup is made exclusively with whole old chickens simmered to perfection, resulting in a rich, flavorful broth that you can’t replicate at home.

2. Fresh Ingredients
Our chanko nabe is packed with carefully chosen ingredients to ensure a savory and nutritious experience. Daily preparation includes slow-simmering chicken bones to create a unique broth that’s rich in flavor.

3. Atmosphere of Tradition
The interiors of our restaurants are designed with a modern twist on traditional Japanese aesthetics, featuring wooden accents and tatami flooring. This setting, adorned with sumo-themed artwork, is popular among both local patrons and international guests, creating an immersive cultural dining experience.
