A must-try for tantanmen lovers! An addictive specialty shop where you can choose between spiciness and numbness (Kokurakita Ward, Kitakyushu City)
Hello. This is Chihi Log, a casual website that provides information about Fukuoka, with a focus on gourmet food.
This time, we will introduce a dandan noodle specialty store that opened on January 13, 2025!
Once you try it, you'll be hooked! New dandan noodle shop "Dandan Noodles Tanjiro" (Konyacho, Kokurakita Ward, Kitakyushu City)
"Tanjiro Dandan Noodles" is located about a 6-minute walk from Tanga Station on the Kitakyushu Monorail. This dandan noodle specialty restaurant is located a little way past "Mainichi Seibu Kaikan" along Komonji Street.
There is no parking lot, but there is a paid parking lot right in front.

The restaurant has both table and counter seats, making it an easy space for both single and multiple people to dine in.

The counter seats are in an open kitchen, so you can see the cooking process!

The only noodle menu items are "Dan Dan Noodles" and "Dry Dan Dan Noodles"! You can customize your own liking by choosing the "spicy" and "numbing" levels.
Dandan noodles made by a chef who has honed his skills in the restaurant industry for over 15 years.
The noodle menu consists of only "Dan Dan Noodles" and "Dry Dan Dan Noodles". You can choose the "spicy" and "numbness" levels from 0 to 10, and of course 0 spiciness x 0 numbness is also OK. It seems like a good place to bring children.

When you enter the store, fill out an order sheet and hand it to a staff member to place your order.
In addition to ordering individual dishes, there is also the "A Set" (+450 yen) which comes with your choice of dandan noodles, five gyoza dumplings and a small serving of rice, and the "B Set" (+480 yen) which comes with your choice of dandan noodles and half a serving of fried rice.

This time, I decided to compare the "Dan Dan Noodles" and "Dry Dan Dan Noodles"! I ordered one as the "B Set".
Dandan noodles
I ordered the "Dandan noodles" (930 yen to 1,350 yen) at level 2 spiciness and level 2 numbness. By the way, levels 3 spiciness and 3 numbness are 930 yen with no extra charge, and the price increases as the level of spiciness and numbness increases.
I felt that even the level 2 spiciness x 2 numbing was quite a serious spiciness and numbness.

The base has a strong sesame flavor and is rich and mellow, with accents of Sichuan pepper and chili peppers.
The key to the tingling and spicy taste is the Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers imported from China.
Chinese peppercorns are characterized by their strong fragrance and tendency to cause numbness. They grind the peppercorns in the store to preserve the fragrance. *We were given special permission to film the grinding process.
The noodles are original, specially ordered from a long-established noodle factory after much trial and error and research to be perfectly suited to dandan noodles.
It has a chewy texture and mixes well with the soup.

The chicken-based soup has a strong sesame flavor and was one of the most delicious dandan noodles I've had recently.

Dry Dandan noodles
The "Dry Dandan Noodles" (930 yen - 1,350 yen) allow you to directly experience the flavor of sesame. Here too, we chose the "2 spiciness" and "2 numbness" levels.
It's topped with a generous amount of minced chicken and an egg yolk in the middle, which further enhances the overall flavor and brings it all together.

After you finish the noodles, it's also delicious if you add rice.
Set B (half fried rice)
The fried rice is a masterpiece that the chef has researched for many years to find the most delicious way to make it using simple ingredients.
We were given special permission to film the process of making it, and it was made with plenty of eggs and meat, so just looking at it made us hungry...!

I was impressed by the rice's fluffy yet chewy texture! I couldn't stop eating. The "B set" was "half" fried rice, and the amount was just right, so I could finish it together with the tantan noodles.

Black pork dumplings
We also ordered the side dish "Black Pork Boiled Dumplings" (5 pieces for 350 yen). They are bite-sized and easy to eat.

The boiled dumplings are healthy, but the black pork used makes the meat taste even better. It was delicious! By the way, these dumplings come with the "A Set."
Image: CHIHIRO
Not only the dandan noodles but also the side dishes were of a very high standard.
You're sure to find an amazing tantanmen dish that you'll want to try again and again! Be sure to give it a try. (Text by CHIHIRO)
