Curry Udon Tachibana — Restaurant in Osaka

Tiny restaurant close to teamLab. They serve curry udon in hot bowls that keep the food steaming and boiling. Be careful not to touch it.

The menu do not have English, but if you explain that you do not understand Japanese, the staff was willing to help you to the best of their English abilities.

If you even mildly 'like' udon and have the option to stop in here you'd be a fool not to.

10/10, wish we could bring this back to Aus with us and we'll be visiting again the next time we...

In general the curry is good, spicy. The curry smells great, it is waking up the stomach. I recommend to add a few drops of curry oil,

The rice with the side matches the curry. It does not overtake the taste of curry but the sweetness of rice could be standing out with such a mix.

The stone bowl kept the curry until very last. But the Udon absorbed quite lots of curry. There was not that many curry left for mixing with the rice. So minimum amount of rice is recommended. The price is also fairly affordable for most...
