POKOTABI / China kitchen Kaede
China kitchen 楓
Located in Ichikawa, Chiba Prefecture, China kitchen Kaede offers harmonious sesame dan dan noodles, light fried rice, midday lunch plates, and evening drinking snacks in a relaxed dining room.
01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
A balanced bowl of dan dan noodles anchors the menu here, pairing the mellow richness of sesame paste with gentle acidity and a mild chili oil that provides subtle contrast. Slender, straight noodles catch the broth evenly, making each mouthful light and clean without weighing you down. Other noodle options offer diverse combinations of texture and seasoning, from brothless dan dan noodles tossed with sansho peppercorn noodles to mixed ankake yakisoba and seasonal chilled noodles featuring shrimp and eggplant.
Fried rice is another staple well loved by patrons. Fluffed so each grain separates cleanly while retaining moistness, the rice carries a delicate, balanced seasoning. Offerings change with daily preparations, ranging from loaded mixed-ingredient fried rice to variations with house-made char siu and yellow chives. Diners can also select combinations like fried rice paired with chili shrimp, or plates where large prawns stand out against a clean seasoning profile.
Midday dining brings daily special sets and balanced lunch plates arranged around sweet-and-spicy chicken alongside vegetables, side dishes, and soup, finishing with sweet bites like ice cream or almond jelly. Evening hours lean easily into drinks, pairing craft beers, wines, and cocktails with black vinegar sweet-and-sour pork or small savory tapas.
Fitted with wood-toned counter seating and tables, the dining room holds a quiet, calm atmosphere that welcomes solo diners dropping in for a peaceful meal. Because payment is cash only, visitors should make sure to have physical currency on hand when stopping by.
