About Chanko Edosawa

Founded in 1974 by a former sumo wrestler, Chanko Edosawa has preserved the tradition of chanko nabe, a hearty hot pot dish originally eaten by sumo wrestlers. The restaurant specializes in a chicken-based broth called “torisoppu,” made from aged chicken bones, blended with a unique mix of light and dark soy sauces. Their chanko hot pot features a balanced selection of 12 key ingredients including vegetables and tofu, ensuring a nutritious and flavorful meal. The interior offers a warm, modern Japanese atmosphere with tatami mats and sumo-themed artwork, ideal for private dining experiences.
