Our story

A family taste, from Changchun.

Our chef is from Changchun, in Jilin province — China’s Northeast. Through the long, snowbound winters there, a family would gather around one table; she has brought that exact taste to Nakano. Hot pot, hand-folded dumplings, wok dishes — generous, honest, never fussy. Even now, a copper pot is murmuring on the stove.

A sunlit table, and no need to hurry.

Big plates in the middle, everyone reaching in — that’s how the Northeast eats.
