Suddenly, I like curry and ramen. Don't you think that both menus are so rooted in our lives that they can be called "national dishes" of Japanese people? Easy-to-understand but deep taste, simple but potential for arrangement ... I wonder if there are people who dislike it ??

There was a shop in this world (Tokyo) where you can enjoy these two favorite things at the same time! It is a curry tsukemen specialty store "Shuichi"!


Shuichi was originally a Tsukemen restaurant with a store in Nishi-Azabu, and the Ebisu store opened just about a year ago. I decided to go to the Ebisu store near the office with the editorial staff.

The Shuichi Ebisu store is located in the basement on your left as soon as you exit JR Ebisu Station from the west exit, cross the pedestrian crossing, and enter the street with KFC. There is a sign that says "Curry Tsukemen", so use it as a guide!


When you enter the store, first buy a meal ticket at the ticket vending machine. In addition to the main menu "Curry Laa Noodles", "Curry Abura Soba", and "Curry Tsukemen" (all for 750 yen), you will also discover "Spicy Cold Curry Noodles" (800 yen) that will appeal to you in the hot summer. I did.


At first, I was planning to eat "curry ramen", which is a combination of curry and ramen, but when I noticed it was too hot outside, I reached for the " spicy chilled curry noodles " button. "Curry ramen", I'll definitely come to eat when it gets a little cooler !!

By the way, "Spicy chilled curry noodles" can be selected from thin noodles or medium-thick noodles, so I chose medium-thick noodles this time. In addition, the two accompanying staff ordered "curry abura soba " and "curry tsukemen" respectively.


After waiting for about 5 minutes for the seat, "Curry Abura Soba" was first delivered. It is topped with thick roasted pork, boiled egg, green onion, seaweed, and spinach.


Gently squeeze the medium-thick noodles with "Zuzo!" Oh, this is pretty spicy! The taste of abura soba with punch and the flavor of spices peculiar to curry work, and the chopsticks go on steadily!


It has a mysterious taste that it tastes like curry while it tastes like abura soba. However, the two do not collide and are perfectly fused. The spiciness of the curry is a little mild thanks to the oil.

Next came "Curry Tsukemen". Hot curry-flavored soup and medium-thick noodles, toppings of char siu, boiled eggs, glue, and spinach were served on separate plates.



When you take a sip of curry-flavored soup, it has a mild and rich taste! It's like Hokkaido soup curry and Thai coconut curry . But the closest thing is the mellow potage soup ...!? It's delicious enough to drink!


When you hear tsukemen, you might think that men eat it, but this is a gentle taste that is also recommended for women. Put on a paper apron and rub it up to prevent the juice from splashing on your clothes! You should be able to enjoy a new sense of deliciousness that is different from curry and tsukemen.



Finally, "Spicy chilled curry noodles" arrived. Cold curry soup is combined with medium-thick noodles, and in addition to the standard toppings of char siu and green onions, summer vegetables such as tomato, eggplant, and okra are served.


Also, since the curry paste is put on it, you can adjust the richness and spiciness to your liking while gradually dissolving it in the soup.


When you entangle cold curry soup with noodles and chew, the spicy taste spreads in your mouth! The moment I put it in my mouth, it feels cool and cool, but the spiciness gradually chases afterwards, and as a result, this may be the most spicy I've eaten this time! But thanks to the vegetables, the back mouth is refreshing.


In addition, all three menus I ate this time were topped with roasted char siu, but this is also excellent! It has a smoky scent that is roasted and smoked, and the umami overflows with each bite, making it a perfect match with curry.


I was very satisfied with the taste and volume, and my stomach and heart were full. There seems to be "Wonton" and "Super spicy" (!?) In the topping menu, and I want to go there once a week until I win all the patterns. Only for Shuichi.
