Tamade Udon

The curry udon at Tamade Udon comes in several styles. Some visitors describe a gently spicy bowl with thick curry that clings to the noodles. The menu also includes curry nanban, a lighter curry with spring onion, as well as udon simmered in a pot. Whether you fancy a rich, thick curry or something lighter, there are options to suit your mood.

There is plenty of variety beyond curry, too: spicy udon in miso broth, and udon with vegetables or chashu pork in tonkotsu broth. Visitors have also remarked on the springy noodles and the aroma of the bonito-scented dashi. It is worth comparing the choices, whether you are after a warming bowl or prefer cold noodles.

Set meals pairing udon with a rice bowl make it easy to build a more substantial meal. Options include tempura, oyakodon and pork cutlet bowls, as well as sets with seasoned rice. Diners who have tried the sets say that combining udon and a rice bowl makes for a satisfying meal; some also praise the bowls finished with egg. The range is useful if you want more than a bowl of udon on its own.

For an extra dish, there are snacks such as karaage, assorted skewers and doteyaki, a miso-simmered dish. Beer and sake are also on the menu, so you can choose anything from a udon set at lunchtime to a meal with a small dish and a drink in the evening.
