Tanpopo is a ramen and Asian cuisine canteen-restaurant that opened in early 2023 in the heart of Athens. It was created by Greek-Japanese chef Sotiris Kontizas.
According to the chef, customers should feel comfortable even dropping by alone and having a meal, to then continue with their day, blending the mentality of fast food with quality Japanese recipes.
