Tokyo Meguro "Konpira Chaya" Curry Udon

Traveling to Tokyo during this season, it's most likely to encounter rain because of the rainy season's unpredictable weather. Especially on nights after rain, it feels quite cool. This time, a friend brought his family to Tokyo, and at night they wanted a late-night snack. He remembered the happiness of enjoying a bowl of curry udon on a night we went to see the Christmas lights in Tokyo before the pandemic. This time, he specially took his family to relive that taste! That time, we stayed at the Princess Garden Hotel in Meguro. After watching the Christmas lights in Ebisu at night, I took them to try my favorite delicious curry udon at "Konpira Chaya." Located about a 3-minute walk from JR "Meguro Station," "Konpira Chaya" is a long-established handmade udon shop founded in 1985. It has been featured by many media outlets. Unlike typical curry udon shops that serve "fried shrimp" as a side, this shop's signature dish is "beef curry udon." According to reports, the curry broth at "Konpira Chaya" is a rich curry soup made by simmering sardines, bonito, kelp, and grated vegetables together. Paired with handmade udon noodles, the broth is rich, the noodles have a chewy texture, and the sweetness of the vegetables complements the beef flavor perfectly. After finishing the udon, adding a bowl of white rice to mix with the curry broth creates a harmonious taste. The happiness you feel after a full meal can only be understood by experiencing it yourself! For those who don't like curry, you can also choose the clear soup tempura udon, which has a very refreshing taste! The seasonings on the table can be added while eating. "Kyo Ichimi" and "Kyo Shichimi" from Ikkyudo in Kyoto offer different flavor experiences for a bowl of udon. You can also order options with raw egg, cheese, or milk—various flavors to choose from. The owner, from Sanuki, the hometown of udon, insists on serving the most authentic udon. Don't miss it when you travel to Tokyo!
