What is Chanko (Short for Chanko-nabe)?
Chanko is two words combined into one. Chan , which means father, and Ko means son. Chanko is commonly known as Sumo wrestler's food . This stew contains chicken, beef, vegetables, and seafood all cooked in a ceramic pot. It is a very healthy and nutritiously balanced food. Furthermore, our Shin-Sen-Gumi chanko stew also comes with, if you choose, finely chopped yuzu kosho giving our chanko stew a unique and even more delicious taste. Our chanko stew comes in two different flavors: shoyu (soy sauce) based and miso (soybean paste) based soups.

How to order CHANKO NABE:
Reservation is required. For Miso soup base, please make a reservation one day prior due to the preparation.

The order for chanko Nabe does not reflect individual portions, but can contain up to 4 servings per stew pot. It's best to discuss your portion requirements with your servers who can help you decide how much you would like to have. But it's so good you might want more.

How to serve this dish:
1. Take 1-2 teaspoons of roasted sesame seeds and place in your bowl. And just like using a mortar and pestle, crush the seeds in your bowl until they are almost all a powdery consistency.
2. Using the same bowl that you have crushed the sesame seeds in, pour in your soup with portions of the meat and vegetables from the stew pot. This is communal eating at its best.
3. Add some green onions and the aforementioned Yuzu Gosho to your bowl, to taste. |
