Kawasaki (ちゃんこ川﨑)
Established in 1937, Kawasaki (ちゃんこ川崎) is a pioneer restaurant that first introduced the “chanko” eaten by sumo wrestlers to the general public. One of the most popular dishes is chicken chanko, known as “soppu-taki.” The soup, which is cooked for six hours using fresh chicken stock, is seasoned with a soy sauce base. The ingredients such as chicken, vegetables, fried tofu, and shirataki noodles are carefully prepared to make a nutritious masterpiece. Enjoy the warm hospitality of a family business in a traditional Japanese architectural structure that was rebuilt soon after the war.
