About Katsuura Tantanmen

Katsuura Tantanmen (勝浦タンタンメン, Katsuura tantanmen) is known for its spicy kick — but it’s incredibly tasty too.

Originally enjoyed by fishermen and workers as a way to warm up after cold days at sea, its spiciness makes perfect sense. This dish features a soy sauce-based soup enriched with chili oil, spicy red peppers, sautéed onions, and ground pork.

Having earned its place in the spotlight at the B-1 Grand Prix, it’s now a staple on menus. The sense of satisfaction after finishing a bowl is truly unmatched. If you’re a fan of spicy food, this is a must-try. And for those who can’t make it to Katsuura, it’s even available in instant ramen form!
