A spicy and flavorful soul food from Nagoya

About Ankake Spaghetti

Ankake Spaghetti (あんかけスパ, Ankake Supa) is a unique dish that originated in Nagoya City. Unlike Italian pasta, where freshly boiled spaghetti is tossed with sauce, this dish uses thick, pre-boiled spaghetti that is stir-fried in lard or vegetable oil, reminiscent of yakisoba (Japanese stir-fried noodles). The noodles are topped with a rich, spicy sauce that has a thick texture and deep umami flavor, similar to Chinese-style gravy.

Served with carefully chosen toppings and a bold tomato-based spicy sauce, the thick noodles of Ankake Spaghetti are coated in savory goodness. This intriguing and addictive flavor is something you'll truly understand only after tasting it.
