"Takeya" is about a 5-minute walk from Ochanomizu Station on the JR Chuo Line and Sobu Line. It's a popular shop where you can line up outside at noon.


The recommendation is "Ebiten Curry Udon"! Five freshly fried shrimp tempura are placed on the curry udon noodles. The price is 1,100 yen (tax included, same below).


The style is to boil the noodles after receiving the order, without making them. The store was a little crowded, but it was served about 10 minutes after I ordered it.

The topping Ebiten is small, but the batter with plenty of soup is soft and chewy. The crispy shrimp texture is irresistible!


The soup stock has a slightly Japanese-style mellow finish with the flavor of the soup stock. With a silky taste, the overall spiciness is modest. However, it is not unsatisfactory because you can feel the richness and umami.


The thin udon noodles, which are tightly entwined with soup, are chewy even if they are chewy! It is delicious with a fluffy texture.


There is no junk impression that comes to mind when you hear "curry udon", but "Takeya"'s "Ebiten curry udon" that you can enjoy a relaxing taste. If you are interested, please give it a try!
