Chai Chinese Restaurant
A small Chinese restaurant in downtown Biei. Selected for Michelin Guide Hokkaido 2017 Bib Gourmand. Committed to 100% Hokkaido wheat handmade noodles and local Biei-grown ingredients. The tantanmen is the signature dish, and the summer-limited Whole Tomato Tantanmen draws fans from across Japan. Only 15 seats, always filled with repeat customers.
