STORE GUIDE OF THE NINBEN NIHONBASHI HONTEN (NIHONBASHI MAIN STORE)

STORE GUIDE OF THE NINBEN NIHONBASHI HONTEN (NIHONBASHI MAIN STORE)

A place to discover the deliciousness of genuine dashi.

Ninben was founded in the Edo period, setting up a few side-by-side stalls selling katsuobushi (dried skipjack tuna ) and hiuo-rui (dried fish) in 1699. The store has changed with the times over more than 320 years. In 2010, a new store was established in the COREDO Muromachi Building, in Nihonbashi. Since then, it has been loved by our customers as a place to discover the deliciousness of genuine dashi (soup stock).
Tokyo, Nihonbashi is the birthplace of Ninben. We hope to continue promoting katsuobushi (dried skipjack tuna ), a treasured Japanese fermented food to future generations, for decades or even centuries to come, so that people around the world can appreciate the “deliciousness of dashi” At the Nihonbashi main store, demonstration sales of hongare-katsuobushi and the Nihonbashi Dashi Bar, based on the concept of “one soup, one meal” are both popular attractions. Please feel free to visit us!

Tokyo, Nihonbashi was the starting point of the “Gokaido (Five Highways)” in the Edo period. There is a place where a business distinct supporting the Japanese economy and old cultures from the Edo period are mixed. As if dressing down a formal, high-quality Kimono casually and fashionably to relax, we design the restaurant space and prepare dishes to enjoy genuine quality more casually, valuing Ninben’s mainstream.

A space created on the themes of “material”, “tradition”, and “stylish”
A space created on the themes of “material”, “tradition”, and “stylish”

Material

Using materials such as plastering that uses craftsmanship, and knotty wood, we express the method of "making the most of the material" which also leads to the unique Japanese food culture.

Tradition

Traditional motifs such as time-honored Japanese wall decorations are adopted as designs to express the space that conveys a sense of our history spanning over three centuries while retaining a simple Japanese modern style.

Stylish

Intentionally adopting different “playful” items in simple Japanese modern space. In other words, “to wear formal Kimono casually” even though we know the genuine quality.
What we express is such a chic style.
