Curry & Ramen Tanchatei

Restaurant Spotlight: Tanchatei たんちゃ亭

A popular curry and ramen restaurant that offers a good variety of ramen and curries, including miso curry gyuunuu (milk) ramen, curry noodles, and lamb curry among others.

The original restaurant, Tanbo no Chaya (たんぼのちゃや), was located in Towadako Machi (on the way to Lake Towada) and had been in business for over 20 years. After a fire destroyed the original building, Tanbo no Chaya re-opened in central Towada as Tanchatei in April 2012.
