Shortly after the transition from the post-war era to the period of rapid economic growth, the first store of Tōtenkō opened by the Funen Pond in Ueno, Tokyo. Born from the desire to provide "the best hospitality and authentic Chinese cuisine to as many people as possible," Tōtenkō was established. With four floors above ground, one basement floor, and a total of 1,000 seats—all serving Chinese cuisine—Tōtenkō became a "world-renowned hall of Chinese cuisine," marking the beginning of its history.
