Why Nakano City:
Nakano is a mecca for Japanese pop culture, centered around Nakano Broadway. It’s a popular area brimming with anime, manga, figurines, and other pop culture items. “Sonoda” blends this culture into its modern diner concept, aligning perfectly with Nakano’s atmosphere. The choice to open in Nakano, much like our first Kanto outlet in Gotanda, reflects our respect for the area’s culture and history.
The Philosophy of ‘Sonoda Stand’:
The idea for “Sonoda Stand” emerged from a DJ event where ramen was served. This led to the establishment of a ramen shop, which later evolved into the concept of “Sonoda Stand,” focusing on what modern “public” or “masses” desire in a dining experience. This concept became popular on social media, leading to queues outside the store. “Sonoda” aims to continue offering a nostalgic yet modern dining experience that resonates with today’s generation.
