Enjoying a legendary bowl of tendon from Japan no longer requires a flight to the Land of the Rising Sun. Kaneko Hannosuke, widely regarded as Japan’s No.1 tendon restaurant, has officially opened its doors at AEON Mall BSD City, Bishoku Culture Ground Floor, starting Saturday, February 21, 2026.
But just how popular is Kaneko Hannosuke in Japan? At its original outlet in Tokyo, hundreds of diners are known to queue for hours during lunch and dinner service, all for a taste of its iconic tendon. Each bowl pairs perfectly steamed Japanese rice with a generous assortment of crisp, golden tempura—tiger prawns, anago eel, onsen egg, scallop and squid kakiage, among others. What truly elevates the experience is the brand’s legendary sweet-savory tendon sauce, rich in umami and crafted from a closely guarded Hannosuke family recipe passed down through generations.

Its reputation as Japan’s top tendon destination is further cemented by winning the Japan National Don Federation Tendon Gold Awards for eight consecutive years. A combination of secret recipes, premium-quality ingredients, and unwavering consistency has made Kaneko Hannosuke a favorite among both locals and international visitors.
The brand’s arrival in Indonesia is spearheaded by Arena Gourmet, a well-known F&B operator committed to introducing authentic Japanese culinary experiences tailored to Indonesia’s evolving urban palate—particularly in the fast-growing BSD area.
“Arena Gourmet brought this brand to Indonesia driven by Kaneko Hannosuke’s strong positioning as The Art of Edomae Tempura Perfected Over Generations, which aligns perfectly with the rapid growth of the Japanese culinary market in Indonesia,” said Aldi, Brand Manager of Kaneko Hannosuke Indonesia.
According to Aldi, tendon naturally resonates with Indonesian taste preferences. Warm rice, crispy toppings, and a sweet-savory sauce create a flavor profile that feels both authentic and comfortingly familiar. “We believe this menu sits at the intersection of authentic Japanese flavors and Indonesian taste preferences, making it highly appealing to local diners,” he added.
Aldi highlights three key strengths that set Kaneko Hannosuke apart from its competitors:
1. The Legendary Hannosuke Sauce
The iconic Edomae-style tendon sauce is a closely guarded family heirloom, passed down from generation to generation. Its authenticity can only be experienced at the restaurant itself.
2. Authentic Craftsmanship
Every dish is prepared by trained chefs using premium ingredients, specialized cooking techniques, and imported kitchen equipment to preserve authenticity and quality—one of the key reasons behind its eight consecutive Gold Awards.
3. Saga Arita Ware Tableware
Each tendon is served in specially designed Saga Arita Ware bowls—traditional Japanese porcelain known for its refined texture, lightweight quality, and intricate detailing. The bowls are crafted to retain heat and maintain the crispness and texture of the tempura until it reaches the table, ensuring a complete and elevated dining experience.
