Carrying on a 400-year tradition: Nagoya’s oldest restaurant, Kawabun

It all began in the Edo period with the building of Nagoya Castle and the attendant transfer of the local urban center from Kiyosu to the new city of Nagoya, with its checkerboard layout.
​ ​A man called Kawachiya Bunzaemon was among those who made the move.
He went into business selling fish, but after coming to be recognized as a connoisseur by the Owari House of Tokugawa he embarked on a historic career as a caterer and restaurateur.​ ​
​ ​His restaurant survives as the oldest in Nagoya and the only one that has been in business since the Edo period.​ ​
We today cherish the traditions handed down to us while creating a vibrant new dining culture suited to the times.

Kawabun’s history as a guest house for foreign dignitaries that has entertained honored guests from Japan and abroad assures you of a wedding without parallel.
