At KANEKO HANNOSUKE, you can enjoy tendon (tempura bowl) that has been passed down since before the Edo period.

Kaneko Hannosuke was a real person who cherished “Japanese food” very much.
The Nihonbashi Tendon Kanneko Hannosuke restaurant was established by his descendants to carry on this belief and the Edo style of tendon.

Tendon is popular among the Japanese, and it is also very popular among foreigners.
This restaurant still serves the same tendon that has been loved for centuries. There is a secret in the sauce that makes this tendon so delicious all the way through.

Please visit Kaneko Hannosuke for the secret sauce and tempura.
