Founded in 1931, this long-established Western-style restaurant moved from Shinkawa to Nihonbashi Muromachi due to the redevelopment of the Nihonbashi area. The restaurant is set to have a new establishment completed in about 2 and a half years (as of February 2024). The restaurant is divided into two floors: the first floor offers a casual menu that lets diners enjoy the taste of a venerable Western-style restaurant, while the second floor offers a more sophisticated Western-style menu in a relaxed atmosphere.

The signature dish is the "Tampopo Omurice (Inspired by Juzo Itami)", created by film director Juzo Itami and featured in the movie "Tampopo". The dish features a soft omelet on top of chicken rice that oozes out tender egg when cut into. Side dishes such as "Borscht" and "Coleslaw" have been served at their original price of 50 yen since the restaurant's opening, making them a special feature of Taimeiken.

On the second floor, in addition to the authentic Western-style menu, Taimeiken's traditional "small plate dishes" are also available, allowing diners to enjoy a variety of dishes at once, adding to the restaurant's appeal.
