Japan's oldest Chinese noodle shop, founded 1912 (Taisho era).

Originator of ankake chanpon.
Temporary suspension of ankake chanpon in Nov 2025, resumed on weekdays in Dec 2025 (not a closure).
One blog post titled 'coming less frequently' found, but the content is about an order mix-up and menu change (removing vegetables from a dish), not a catastrophic quality decline; the same author wrote 'I'll probably be back next year.' No PR deals.
Not a chain.

Founded in the Taisho era (1912), this legendary Amagasaki restaurant is known as Japan's oldest surviving Chinese noodle shop. Its signature soy-sauce tare, matured through over 110 years of continuous replenishment, and handmade noodles kneaded by foot—a craft passed down for four generations—are its pride. The originator of Amagasaki's local specialty 'Ankake Chanpon,' with the vegetable-packed ankake version priced at ¥1,140. Tabelog 3.55/751 reviews, TripAdvisor 3.8 (ranked 8th of 834 in Amagasaki)—outstanding recognition. English, Chinese, and Korean menus available. Takeout and mail order available. Also selected for Hyogo Prefecture's Terroir Journey.

"Japan's oldest Chinese noodle shop—the depth of a soy-sauce tare replenished for over 100 years." "The ankake chanpon is a must-eat when visiting Amagasaki." "This taste cannot be found anywhere else." "The four-generation handmade noodles are totally different from anything else."
