Restaurants (Curry udon place)#4 (SENKICHI)

This is absolutely where you must go.  Curry and Udon (Japanese noodle) collaboration…Curry Udon. Curry Udon is also very popular menu in our everyday dish.  As you know UDON and CURRY is  our one of most eaten menu in daily life….(for me, it is!)

Though Curry-Udon has been popular menu, there are not so much serves only”Curry -Udon”, rather it is part of UDON or OSOBA place’s menu like Local Food Akihabara #4 (KASUGA_SOBA)

But SENKICHI (thgouh it is restaurant chain, they got 15 restaurants in Tokyo, still kind of new.) focuses on “CURRY UDON” and “OYAKO-DON” and “KARAAGE” only. Those 3, you also should try too….

Anyways, here is SENKICHI info, address and map

Eng address: Chiyodaku, Iwamoto cho, 2-15-8 (about 10min walk from JR Akihabara Syowa-dori exit)

SENKICKI services many kinds of Curry Udon, very spicy but soooo yummy. This time I ordered “Red Senkichi” mainly taste like Thai green curry and  a freind of mine ordered “Spicy Senkichi”which I knew it is hot but not from Thai green curry taste…There is also “Black” with rich buillon. Woderful taste!! I love all of them. See 4 major curry menu SENKICHI

Akihabara Senkichi is always full with salaryman, no tourist ever. After 13:00 you can enter easily, but before that it is sooo full!

Local Food Akihabara (BUDOU)

The place to have luch with your friends. Delicious food. It is said “Bistro” “French Cousine”, but I guess it’s  Japanized French and just so tasty! While other local place is more like for “Salary mans” (Japanese worker especially men worker”), this place targets women, I think.  BUDOU フレンチ食堂ぶどう

Address: Chiyodaku, Kanda, Sakuma-cho, 2-3, Akihabara Inoue buid 1F, 101-0025

Go to SHOWA Dori Exit, Go straigh pass the crosswalk, turn right, go straight, just next to IZUMIBASHI, in front of MIZUHO ATM.

 

Not many mid-aged Salary man or groups of mid-aged salary man eat here as long as I obsesrve. Those “OJISAN” (mid-aged salary men) usually go to “TEISHOKU-YA” (local restaurant usually serves meal sets, which icludes rice, miso soup, main dish and the side dish like vegitable or salad )finishing up thier lunch in less than 30min or so….Pls refer my guide for SUGINO-AKARI, my favorate TEISHOKUYA in Akihabara.

This place is SUPER LOCAL, sorry they have only Japanese menu.

But ALL of their menu are super yummy!

Everyday, I see the line of people at 12:00.

They can have about 30 people, 4~5 table with 4 chair and all the table is full. If you go alone, you might have to be seated with other people who comes in a group.

This is real Japanese food place you need to try!!!
