The name gained fame over the TV channels and perhaps, this contributed to the acknowledgement of a unique and original spaghetti dish now known as the famous Ankake Spaghetti.
It is also a popular story that the founder of Karametei, Mr. Shichi started his own restaurant with zero experience as a chef.
With no previous cooking experience whatsoever, he created the delicious tasting Ankake Spaghetti.
The owner of Karametei has not stopped since, actively and creatively developing new items regularly.
Hence, the grand menu is constantly updated with new dishes.
Customers visiting the restaurant can always look forward to trying out new and exciting dishes, and this has become a trademark of Karametei and the owner, always novel and always moving forward with the times.
