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! Address Shinagawa-ku, Kamiosaki 3-3-1 Sakaue Building 1F Business Hours Mon - Fri 11:00~24:00 Sat - Sun 11:00~23:30

Tokyo Tower

Tokyo’s Cultural and Anime Treasures Await 🗼👘✨ For anime fans and culture seekers, Tokyo offers a mix of iconic city views and classic tradition. Stroll through the energetic streets before diving into two must-see experiences: the soaring Tokyo Tower with its popular One Piece exhibit and the timeless charm of Senso-ji Hozomon Gate. Kick off at Tokyo Tower (4 Chome-2-8 Shibakoen, Minato City, Tokyo 105-0011). Arrive early to beat the crowds and immerse yourself in the One Piece exhibit—perfect for diehard anime lovers! Ride to the top for panoramic city views (open 09:00–23:00, tickets until 22:30; last entry 22:30). Must-do: Snag a selfie with the tower’s iconic red frame, and don’t miss the cityscape photos from above. Tip: Bring a wide-angle lens for epic skyline shots on sunny days! Next, make your way to Senso-ji Hozomon Gate (2 Chome-3-1 Asakusa, Taito City, Tokyo 111-0032; open 06:00–17:00). Take a leisurely walk and, for a deeper experience, rent a kimono nearby—blending in with the colors and historic architecture. Must-do: Wander the bustling Nakamise shopping street for local snacks. Insta-worthy spot: Stand in front of the grand gate’s vibrant details, beneath the massive lanterns, for a truly Japanese photo. Pro tips: Tokyo’s main sites get busy, especially weekends. Go weekday mornings for fewer crowds. Watch for temple etiquette—bow at the gate and be respectful when photographing worshippers. #Tokyo #AnimeTravel #CultureTrip #KimonoExperience #TokyoTower
