The restaurant's menu includes "Shiro Chanpon," a creamy broth made from carefully selected pork bones cooked over an extremely high heat for a long time; "Beni Chanpon," an addictively spicy dish with a blend of red chili oil, sansho (Japanese pepper), and raayu (Chinese chili oil); and "Kuro Chanpon," a rich and stimulating dish with "black mar oil" made from burnt garlic and coarsely ground black pepper. The restaurant also offers three types of chanpon: "Kuro chanpon" (black chanpon), which is spicy and addictive with a hint of raayu (Chinese chili oil), "beni chanpon" (red chanpon), and "sara udon," which is a dish of crispy noodles topped with a rich vegetable sauce in pure white pork bone soup.
