Tokumasa Abiko

For a bowl of curry udon made to your taste, Tokumasa Abiko’s special curry udon is a tempting choice. The menu lets you pick three toppings for 1,250 yen. Options include pork cutlet, vegetables and shrimp tempura, making it easy to put together a generous combination. One diner chose pork cutlet, pork tempura and vegetables; another enjoyed a mix of chikuwa, vegetables and pork cutlet. Whether vegetables take centre stage or you pile on the fried toppings, part of the appeal is choosing your own combination.

A diner who tried the cheese curry udon described the curry as thick, with a little spice following its sweetness. The cheese softened the flavour, while the crisp texture of the bits of fried batter also stood out. Another comment noted that the noodles were soft and chewy. It is a bowl to enjoy with the thick curry and toppings together. Cheese curry udon is listed at 900 yen. Some diners have asked for less spice, while others have checked about the heat as they ate. If you are unsure about the spice level, you could ask when ordering.

There is also the option of finishing the curry with rice rather than enjoying it only with noodles. One diner who ordered a set with meat curry udon and egg rice poured the leftover curry over the rice. Egg rice is also available on its own, a satisfying way to round out a meal after the udon. A basic bowl of curry udon costs 800 yen, or 850 yen with meat. The restaurant serves both lunch and dinner and is described as suitable for dining solo. Reservations are not accepted, so you can simply drop in for the curry udon that takes your fancy at lunchtime or in the evening.
