A Journey of 30 Years and a Vision for the Future

Since the opening of its first store in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, in 1995, Nadaman Kitchen has committed itself to delivering authentic Japanese cuisine that emphasizes the essence of "dashi" (broth) and seasonal ingredients. This anniversary not only serves as a moment of gratitude but also signifies a fresh commitment to enhancing customer satisfaction with exquisite food offerings in the future. Nadaman is dedicated to blending traditional culinary skill with new techniques to provide delicious experiences to every customer, whether it is for everyday meals or special occasions.

The Allure of the Special Plate

Nadaman Kitchen's philosophy has always been to bring the delightful hospitality of a traditional Japanese restaurant to home dining. The 30th Anniversary Special Plate features a carefully curated selection of 11 dishes, symbolizing the rich history that Nadaman has cultivated over the past three decades, blending traditional tastes with modern delights.

Signature Dishes from the Past and Present

- Nadaman's Special Braised Pork Belly: Inspired by Nagasaki's Shippoku cuisine, this dish features pork that is beautifully seared and slowly braised in a special sauce, revamped from its original recipe to suit contemporary tastes. This exceptional dish is exclusive to the special plate and isn't typically available.
- Nishikyo-yaki Red Fish: A star dish at Nadaman, it is marinated for two days in a specially crafted sweet miso, providing a delectable flavor that pairs perfectly with the subtle sweetness of white miso.
- Silky Soup Chawanmushi: A quintessential item since the brand's inception, this smooth egg custard is elegantly seasoned with a topping of yuba (tofu skin) and dashi sauce for a refined taste.
- Whole Tomato Salad: Each tomato is marinated overnight in a mildly spicy special blend, seasoned to enhance the umami of both tomato and dashi. Cut for easy eating, it is served with a complementary potato salad, offering a fresh, new taste.

About Nadaman

Nadaman’s saga began in 1830 when the first generation, Mansuke Nada, established a dining restaurant in Osaka, marking its roots in the Edo period.

Over 190 years, Nadaman has maintained, evolved, and adapted its traditional Japanese cuisine to cater to contemporary tastes, serving patrons both domestically and globally. Nadaman Kitchen, a subsidiary specializing in bento and side dishes, continues to thrive with locations across various department stores and an online delivery service.
