Yokohama Ippinko's Exciting New Offering
Yokohama Ippinko, famed as the originator of Yokohama Tanmen, is launching a limited-time seasonal delight called "Special Miso Tanmen with Abundant Mushrooms and Shrimp" on October 10, 2025. This dish is the fourth installment in its "Thank You! Excited! 100-Year Tanmen" series, which pays homage to the restaurant's journey as it approaches its 70th anniversary.
Founded in 1955, Yokohama Ippinko started as a tiny eatery in Noge with just nine counter seats. The founder's motto, "Pour your heart into every dish for the best taste," remains the cornerstone of their culinary philosophy. Known for their iconic "Ganso Zepin Tanmen," the restaurant has garnered a loyal following for over half a century.
The new Tanmen features a rich special miso blend that enhances the natural flavors of the ingredients. The star of the dish is the inclusion of three succulent shrimp alongside an array of seasonal mushrooms such as king oyster, shimeji, brown enoki, blooming mushrooms, and wood ear mushrooms. The broth of this Tanmen is distinctly low in salt, allowing the true essence of each ingredient to shine, while providing a hint of spiciness that lingers in the background.
Accompanying this tantalizing bowl is a medicinal sesame miso condiment. Diners are encouraged to mix in the miso gradually, experiencing the evolving flavors. This condiment contains various herbs and spices like white sesame, chili peppers, Chinese pepper, jujube, ginseng, yellow essence, safflower, cardamom, dried tangerine peel, hawthorn, goji berries, chrysanthemum, and rice malt. It is designed to not only enhance the dish but also to potentially aid digestion, improve blood circulation, and alleviate eye fatigue, making it a nourishing addition.
The creation of this Tanmen reflects Yokohama Ippinko's commitment to ensuring that their culinary offerings not only taste exquisite but are also health-conscious. As the restaurant gears up for its centennial celebration, every dish in the "Thank You! Excited! 100-Year Tanmen" series signifies its dedication to customers across generations, earning its status as Yokohama's soul food.
