Kanuma Karamen, born.
CONCEPT
Three Values Warabe Delivers
01
ADDICTIVE FLAVOR
Addictive Flavor
Layered heat from four kinds of chili, and the overwhelming umami of Tochigi Shamo chicken. Kanuma chives round out the edge — your chopsticks won't stop from the first bite to the last.
02
GUILT FREE
Zero Guilt
Chinese-style noodle kneaded with Kanuma konjac, our Mochi-Mochi noodle, a gut-friendly koji broth, and no MSG. A bowl your body thanks you for.

LOCAL CIRCULATION
Local Circulation
Sourced directly from Kanuma farmers and co-developed with a local noodle maker. Every bowl keeps the local economy turning. We consume, and we give back.
IN CONSTRUCTION
Now Under Renovation

OUR STORY
Because it's Kanuma,
we make Karamen.
A bowl born when our 26-year-old founder fell for Kanuma and joined hands with local farmers and noodle makers. Our aim: a Karamen that returns money to the community with every bowl.
