In May 2019, I obtained information that the curry udon restaurant I had visited before had moved from Nishi Nakasu to Nakasu. I had been thinking about visiting again when I had the chance, but I never got around to it. Finally, during Golden Week, I decided to go. I arrived at the restaurant around 8:25 PM. The large sign still displayed information about the curry udon: "Natural chicken broth and 4 types of Japanese broth, fused with 11 types of curry spices." The setup seemed similar to before. I didn't notice any skewers being offered. There were 4 customers in the restaurant, seated at the counter and tables. I didn't see the owner who used to greet customers outside the restaurant. I sat at an empty table and checked the menu. I had already decided to order the famous curry udon. The option that used to be called "extra rice" seemed to be gone, now just listed as "rice." I ordered the curry udon and rice. The staff informed me that it would be more cost-effective to order the curry udon set by 9 PM. I explained that I had come by car and couldn't drink alcohol. The staff mentioned soft drinks were available, so I ordered a cola with the curry udon set. The cola arrived in about 3 minutes and was refreshing after walking around. I sipped on it while waiting. About 10 minutes later, my order was served. The curry udon looked familiar and I took a sip of the soup. It was quite delicious. The creamy curry soup was mild, thick, and had no spiciness. The combination of chicken umami and Japanese broth was excellent. They seemed to pay attention to the curry powder as well, using a creamy curry powder made by an old dry goods store specifically for their curry udon. The udon was relatively thick and square-shaped with a slight chewiness. It had a nice texture. The udon was piping hot, almost burning my tongue. This restaurant serves Sanuki udon, which made me happy as I had spent a long time in Shikoku. The toppings included chicken, fish cake, fried tofu, and chopped green onions. The chicken was tender and complemented the curry udon well. I finished the udon and mixed the curry soup with the rice, creating a risotto-like dish. I took a bite and it was delicious. The curry udon soup paired well with the rice, especially with the Japanese broth. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I finished the meal in no time. The famous curry udon was just as good as before. This curry udon was unlike any I had previously tried. It's an original dish unique to this restaurant. Although they moved to Nakasu, the restaurant seemed a bit hidden, despite the large sign outside. Checking the reviews on Tabelog later, there were few reviews. It might be worth stopping by for curry udon while out drinking in Nakasu. I plan to visit again. I think it would be nice if they offered curry rice to go with their curry udon. It would also be great to have udon and rice sets available. If they had a set with kake udon and curry rice, I might order that. The total cost this time was 1080 yen, which seemed reasonable for Nakasu. It was delicious. I will be back.

While working at Bayside, I snuck out around 4 in the morning and headed to Suunaka. There were hardly any people around, just a towel shop and a taxi passing by. I drove my light truck down the almost empty road (lol). I ordered curry udon for a late-night snack here (✽ ﾟдﾟ ✽) I also had a lemon sour to quench my thirst a bit while I was still working (lol). Time to dig in - the curry has a taste similar to Indian curry (•ө•)♡ but it also has a nice dashi flavor mixed in (✽ ﾟдﾟ ✽) The chewy and fluffy udon paired well with it (*´∀｀) It was delicious! Thank you for the meal! ε≡≡ﾍ( ´Д`)ﾉ

Curry Udon 810 yen While strolling around Nakasu, I found out that that curry udon shop had moved! I hadn't been there because I didn't like the fact that the prices didn't include tax, but I really like the taste so I decided to give it a try. I went around midnight and there were no other customers. The curry udon was 50 yen cheaper. The soup was thick and creamy, and the noodles had a nice texture. It was really delicious after all. However, as expected, the prices didn't include tax. Since Nakasu is a drinking district, I think it's better to keep things as they are.

It was a holiday, so I was walking from Tenjin towards Hakata Station. It was evening, and I wasn't particularly hungry, so I was planning to go straight home. However, a sign caught my eye as I passed Tenjin-Minami Station. It seemed to be a curry udon restaurant. There was a large sign with a description of the curry udon written near the second floor. It said, "Natural chicken broth and 4 types of Japanese broth fused with 11 types of curry spices." I usually walk along this street, but I had never noticed it before. It seemed like a new restaurant that opened about two months ago. I don't usually eat curry udon, but I was curious, so I approached the entrance of the restaurant to read about the curry udon. I decided to search on Tabelog to see the reviews, but as soon as I took out my smartphone, I was approached by a staff member outside who called out to me. They kindly explained about the curry udon, so I decided to trust my gut and go in without checking the reviews on Tabelog in front of the staff member. I was guided upstairs by the staff. I arrived at the restaurant around 5:55 PM. It was a relatively small and clean interior with counter seats and table seats. There were no customers inside. The person who called out to me at the entrance seemed to be the owner of the restaurant. I sat at an empty table seat and ordered the specialty curry udon. It was brought to me in about 5 minutes. It had a quite unique appearance compared to regular curry udon. I was told to adjust the spiciness with the shichimi togarashi provided on the table, but I decided to try it as it was. I took a sip of the soup of the specialty curry udon. It was quite delicious. The curry soup was mild and had a thick, creamy consistency. It wasn't spicy at all. The umami of the chicken and Japanese broth blended perfectly. It seemed they also paid attention to the curry powder, using a creamy curry powder made by a long-established dried goods store specifically for curry udon. It was a mysterious curry soup that I had never tasted before. The udon was relatively thick and angular, with a slightly less chewy texture. It had a chewy texture and was delicious. I thought it wasn't as soft as Fukuoka udon. I had a feeling it was similar to Sanuki udon that I had eaten in Shikoku before, and when I later checked, it was indeed Sanuki udon. The ingredients included chicken, fish cake, fried tofu, chopped green onions, and more. The chicken was tender. It went well with the curry udon here. While eating, I noticed a menu on the wall that caught my eye. It was called "Oimeshi" (additional rice). I confirmed with the owner, and as I expected, it was something you eat by adding it to the curry soup after finishing the udon. I ordered an additional 100g of Oimeshi. I wanted to get 200g, but I had already drunk quite a bit of the curry soup by that point. It was brought to me right away. I mixed it into the curry soup, and it turned into something like risotto. I took a bite. It was delicious. The curry soup in this restaurant goes well with rice too. The Japanese broth seemed to be doing a great job. I was engrossed in eating and finished it in no time. Before paying, I took the dishes to the return counter myself. It might be unusual in Fukuoka, but it's a common sight in Sanuki udon restaurants. It was a big hit for a spontaneous visit. The udon was Sanuki udon, which I love. It was completely different from the curry udon I had eaten before. This restaurant's original dish is one-of-a-kind that you can't find in other restaurants. Although there is a large sign outside, the entrance of the restaurant is not very noticeable, so I felt like they might be missing out. When I later checked the reviews on Tabelog, there were fewer reviews than I expected, but there were many reviewers giving high ratings. I think I will visit again. I found a good restaurant. There were other creative udon dishes available, but next time, I want to try the curry udon with 200g of Oimeshi. The total cost this time was 900 yen. It's a reasonable price for a restaurant in the middle of Fukuoka. It was delicious. I will come again.

Taiwanese Curry Udon - 850 yen

Mysterious texture curry udon. Nishi Nakasu "Matsumoto-ke" September 10, 2018 NEW! Theme: Fukuoka City Chuo-ku / Tenjin・Daimyo Facing the intersection of Haruyoshi in a building on the 2nd floor... This place has been changing shops over the past few years... It used to be a Okinawan cuisine restaurant, but now it seems to be a curry udon restaurant. Maybe a takeover... The layout is the same. It was a lunch on a working day, so I had a beer... And the recommended dish, curry udon! 800 yen What is this square thing... I thought, but it turned out to be fried tofu. The soup is thick and has a unique texture, but it's not rich... It goes down smoothly. They also served white rice as a service... I thought for 2 seconds about how to handle it and decided to just pour it over... Ah... I ended up consuming unnecessary carbohydrates again... I've been gaining weight recently... I think it would be even better if they had more snack-like menu items for izakaya use... ● Store information Matsumoto-ke Fukuoka City Chuo-ku Nishi Nakasu 1-18-2F Business hours 11:30-14:30 17:30-02:30 Sundays and holidays 11:30-23:00
