On Saturday at 6:45 PM, I went to "Osaka Udon and Soba Tenma" in Minamimorimachi. Whenever I come here, I always end up ordering either the "Curry Don" or the "Curry Udon". Today, as usual, I ordered the "Curry Don (850 yen)". It arrived in 4 minutes. I took a bite. Delicious. Yes, this curry with a strong dashi flavor is delicious. The simple ingredients of onions and beef only enhance the richness of the curry. If you're not confident in the taste of your curry, you might hesitate to simplify it this much. I was able to truly experience this taste after a long time. Thank you for the meal.

I visited the restaurant at 7:00 pm on a weekday and was able to relax without waiting. I had tried Kansai-style curry udon for the first time last time, so this time I visited to try the classic kitsune udon in Kansai. - Kitsune Udon 850 yen: The delicious broth and the thick fried tofu soaked in the broth were amazing. Even though I'm from Kanto, I have become addicted to the Kansai-style broth made with kombu. - Curry Don 850 yen: This time, I opted for the curry don instead of curry udon. The curry don had a strong flavor of broth, more than the udon, and was a very flavorful dish. #Udon #Kitsune Udon #Fried Tofu #Curry #Curry Don #Dinner #Minamimorimachi #Osaka City Kita Ward #Osaka

I walked from Nansencho Station to this highly rated udon and soba restaurant. They make their own noodles for both udon and soba. They also offer izakaya menu at night. The Tenma set for 1100 yen includes kakiage udon, mountain vegetable rice, and salted kelp. The udon noodles are thin, chewy, and have a good texture. The broth is really delicious. They also offer items like Morokyu for 400 yen, Eihire for 450 yen, grilled Atka mackerel for 700 yen, 2 handmade croquettes for 550 yen, and 4 premium sausages for 550 yen. We had a total of 4300 yen for two people including beer. Each dish was very tasty, generous in portion, and reasonably priced. I thought it would be perfect for welcome and farewell parties.

I arrived before the usual opening time of 11 am. There was no line, so I was able to enter right at 11 am. I thought it would be curry udon with a fluffy egg like a scrambled egg, but it was not mixed that much. The egg had a gently stirred texture, and I liked it.

I visited the restaurant at 12:30 on the weekend and the place was about half full, with no wait to get in. - Curry Udon 900 yen I ordered the Curry Udon without hesitation, which is a specialty of the restaurant. It is a Kansai-style curry udon made with beef, and the taste, aroma, and flavor of the broth are outstanding. The noodles are slightly soft, but they have a unique texture that is chewy and enjoyable. I noticed many people adding shrimp tempura to their curry udon, so I want to try that combination next time as it seems to go well together. - Others' Donburi 800 yen I had the Others' Donburi (beef and egg over rice) for the first time in my life, and it was also delicious with a flavorful broth. Donburi dishes are also recommended here. #Udon #CurryUdon #Chewy #Broth #Lunch #Minamimorimachi #OsakaCity #Osaka

Today's lunch was at my former colleague Macchan's restaurant, "Original Blend Curry Udon." The curry broth is rich and the thin noodles are hidden within. Surprisingly, a famous artist came to eat, and their photo is featured in the 2023 tour pamphlet, making it a mini pilgrimage site for fans. I enjoyed a delicious meal at the table where they sat. They had the "Egg Curry Udon."

On Saturday at 18:30, I went to "Tenma" in Minami-Morimachi. I wanted to come back because the "curry udon" was delicious last time. This time, I ordered the "curry bowl (850 yen)" that I was curious about. It arrived in 7 minutes. One bite. Delicious. A curry bowl with a strong dashi flavor. It feels like curry with a commitment made by an udon restaurant. As expected, Japanese people love the umami of dashi. The thick consistency, with only beef and onions as simple ingredients. Eating this makes me want to go back to curry udon again. Next time, I might try it without the curry... The udon and rice bowls with a strong dashi flavor are also appealing. Thank you for the meal.

Today's lunch special is around 950 yen. The menu includes a katsudon set with katsudon and oboro udon or soba. The noodles are thin and chewy, very delicious! The katsudon has thin cutlets but they are tasty! The broth is also delicious, that's the highlight of this dish.

I visited a restaurant in an area I don't usually go to because it had good reviews on Tabelog. It was an old-fashioned place with mostly elderly customers. I ordered the curry udon. The curry udon here has thin noodles and a mild spiciness, making it suitable for everyone. Personally, I found it a bit lacking in flavor. Perhaps if they made some changes to the spiciness or thickness of the udon, it could be even better. However, considering the customer base, the current taste may be the best option.

Visited Tenma-san, famous for their curry udon. The interior of the restaurant exudes a calm Showa era atmosphere. Ordered the large serving of curry udon. At first, it has a thick consistency like ankake sauce, but as you eat, it becomes more like regular curry udon. It's a mysterious transformation. The curry has a rich flavor and is delicious. The udon noodles are different from Sanuki udon, being round and on the softer side. Thank you for the meal.

As the cold days continue, I was craving for some warm noodles for lunch. I was considering options like hot pot udon or miso ramen when I came across a popular menu that allows you to enjoy both curry udon and curry rice called "Curry Ojiya Udon". I decided to visit the restaurant to try it out. 1. Exterior, atmosphere, interior: Located about a 6-minute walk from Minami-Morimachi Station, the restaurant has a signboard saying "Osaka Udon and Soba". The interior is spacious with mainly table seating. I visited during off-peak hours and was able to have a 4-person table to myself, but it may get crowded during peak times. 2. Food: I ordered the "Curry Ojiya Udon", a specialty of the restaurant. It arrived in a bubbling hot pot with a side of Fukujinzuke pickles. In the middle of the curry udon was a raw egg yolk, creating an enticing visual. The curry had a strong dashi flavor, with mild spiciness and subtle spices. The ingredients included thinly sliced beef, fried tofu, onions, and fish cake, all blending well with the curry. The udon noodles were thin and soft, and there was rice at the bottom of the pot, making it a satisfying meal. 3. Staff: The veteran female staff in the hall managed the place well, with friendly and efficient service. They greeted and seated customers promptly, and the food was served at the right pace. The overall service was good without any notable issues. 4. Value for money: The price of 1,100 yen for a bowl of "Curry Ojiya Udon" felt a bit high, but considering the enjoyment of both udon and rice, the warming effect of the hot meal, and the pleasant atmosphere of the restaurant, I would say the value for money is average. 5. Other observations: I noticed that the "Tenma Set Meal" which includes tempura udon and mountain vegetable rice was also popular.

Today, I came here. A popular dining place in the Minamimori-cho area. The interior has a Japanese atmosphere with a TV, a kitchen on the right side, no counter seats, and many small and large table seats in the front. It seems like a family + extras are running the place, with 5 people of all ages and genders. The menu includes udon, soba, rice, and rice bowls, with curry dishes being the specialty. I'm curious about the highly rated "Curry Ojiya Udon," but personally, I think I'll go with the "Curry Rice" (＾∀＾)ノ During lunchtime, office workers from nearby started coming in one after another, gradually filling up the seats (*ﾟ∀ﾟ*) After a while, it arrived. Served in a small, round bowl, the hot rice is topped with a rich curry sauce with a hint of sweetness, containing a small amount of beef and onions, and a subtly spicy flavor with the umami of bonito and kelp. It's well-balanced and delicious (＾∀＾) Yummy♪ I finished the Fukujin pickles soon after. When I ordered, they asked, "Is the dish alone okay?" which made sense w! In terms of quantity, it's quite light, and honestly, the cost performance is not great for this menu (；∀；) Um, the service was good. Thank you for the meal. Personal perspective: wheelchair accessible, separate washlets for men and women at the back, no parking available.

#True Kombu Dashi❗#Osaka Temma Udon#Authentic Kansai-style Udon/SobaJune 2022❗After finishing my morning work in Higashi Yodogawa, I was thinking of having lunch somewhere before heading back. I decided to try out a restaurant that I had been eyeing for a while - Osaka Temma Udon. The Curry Plate Soba looks interesting, but I'm not in the mood for curry today. Maybe the True Kombu Dashi with Tsukudani would be more fitting. It seems like a traditional Osaka-style broth. Today's lunch special includes the Otokodon (beef bowl) with soba or udon for ¥850. That sounds perfect. The Oyakodon is a classic Kansai-style dish. It tastes great with a nice firm texture to the soba. The Kansai-style broth with mountain vegetables and wasabi is delicious and familiar. I'll have to try the curry next time. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. ❤️

On Saturday at 1:00 PM, I went to "Osaka Udon Soba Tenma" in Minami-Morimachi. Currently, they seem to only be open for lunch, possibly due to the pandemic. I was debating between getting the "Curry Don" but decided to order the signature "Curry Udon (850 yen)." It arrived 4 minutes later. With the first bite, it was delicious. The broth had a strong flavor, and the curry was thick. There was a subtle spiciness, but not overpowering. The balance of flavors was addictive. The noodles were thin but had a good chewy texture. The toppings included green onions, onions, and beef. There are a few topping options available. The menu mainly focuses on hot udon and soba, but there are also a few cold options. There are various rice bowl options as well, so locals can keep coming back without getting bored. Thank you for the meal.

I went to try the famous curry udon! This is the classic curry udon. The noodles are a bit soft, but have a good chewiness that I like. The broth has the perfect balance of spiciness and sweetness. It was even more delicious than I expected and I was very satisfied! I will definitely come back for this! Curry udon: ¥850

I will introduce a Osaka udon restaurant recommended by a friend connected on Instagram! After googling, I found the place! It's my first visit to Osaka Udon and Soba Tenma. The address is 1-14 Suehirocho, Kita-ku, Osaka, on the 1st floor of Acty Minamimorimachi, about a 5-minute walk from Osaka Metro "Minamimorimachi" and "Ogimachi" stations. It's easy to find, located northeast across the road from Horikawa Ebisu Shrine. I arrived at Osaka Udon and Soba Tenma a little after 12 p.m. There were 2 people waiting outside! While waiting, I took some photos. I was impressed by the message "Our udon is homemade, kneaded with saltwater, foot-stepped, and left to rest for a day. We cook the noodles (udon/soba) after taking your order, so please allow some time." The special original blend curry udon caught my eye! They also offer a set lunch with a bowl and udon or soba at a great price. When my turn came, I entered the restaurant! There is alcohol disinfectant at the entrance. After thoroughly disinfecting my hands, I got permission to take a photo with the staff and sat in the waiting area inside the restaurant for a while. When a table was ready, I was seated. They served strong barley tea. I ordered the curry ojya udon with shrimp tempura topping. It comes with an egg as standard. I had eaten ojya udon when I was a child, and this was my first time seeing it on the menu in Kansai. I heard that in Kansai, they prefer you to put the rice in first for ojya udon, so it was interesting to see it on the menu. There is shichimi (seven spice) on the table for seasoning. After a short wait, my dish arrived. The curry ojya udon in the aged iron pot looked delicious under the dappled sunlight! There was fukujinzuke because it's ojya. First, I tried the udon! The thin Osaka-style udon was freshly boiled! It was delicious with the curry coating! The curry broth had a strong dashi flavor and was gentle. I adjusted the spiciness with the shichimi on the table to my liking. The udon and rice were not layered on top of each other but separated left and right. The udon was on top, and the rice was on the bottom. I took a bite with the spoon! It was delightfully tasty! The ingredients included beef, fried tofu, onion, kamaboko, egg, and green onions, all of which went well with the curry! The shrimp tempura was crispy and delicious, with a solid filling! I tried changing the flavor by crushing the egg yolk! It became milder! Fukujinzuke is a must with curry! It was delicious, satisfying, and filling. I thanked the staff and left Osaka Udon and Soba Tenma. Thank you for the meal! It was delicious! I will come again!

I couldn't visit a certain restaurant because it was always closed on Sundays, but when I went on a Saturday at the end of the year, I found out that they were open for the holidays. There was a short wait for a table, but the turnover was quick so the wait time was short. I ordered curry udon, oyakodon, and udon with curry. The udon with curry was interesting because it had both udon and rice in it. The udon was soft and the curry was not too spicy, with a nice balance of flavors. It was delicious and warmed me up. The oyakodon had well-cooked chicken and eggs, and the broth was excellent. Overall, the food was of high quality, but the prices might be a bit on the expensive side.

I visited during lunch time at 11:47. The restaurant was almost full inside, it's a popular place. Payment: cash only. Today's special lunch included curry bowl set and a small seaweed udon. The warm udon was delicious, and the curry bowl had a strong flavor of sauce.

It had been a while since my second visit. Last time, I arrived after 12 o'clock and had to wait a bit, but this time I arrived shortly after the opening at 11 o'clock and was seated right away. I ordered the daily lunch special (850 yen), which was a pork cutlet bowl with a choice of small seaweed udon or soba noodles (hot or cold). I requested the cold soba noodles for my lunch. While watching the Olympics on the TV hanging on the wall, my meal arrived in just 8 minutes. The pork cutlet was hiding under the egg, playing hide and seek, and the soba noodles were playing hide and seek with seaweed. I left a little rice uneaten and said "thank you for the meal" when I finished.

The restaurant had high ratings and I had plans to visit as it was nearby. However, as soon as I entered, I had a bad feeling. I can't go into detail about what happened during my visit, but let's just say it was not a pleasant experience. I love dining out and enjoy going back to delicious and friendly places, but this restaurant was the opposite. The daily set menu was probably tasty, but the tempura shrimp was worse than what you can find in a supermarket at the end of the year. The staff working at the restaurant had many issues, especially with excessive chatting. Why does the owner allow unrelated conversations during work? They should be more professional. I will never go back again. The price of 850 yen was not worth it.
