Hachioji, Tokyo, Japan｜Arata

Tempura & Curry Udon.

Gorgeous udon and the best tempura I've had in Hachioji. Lovely, tiny nondescript udon shop with a cosy, traditional feel. Be prepared to squeeze in around the chefs at work and people eating at the counter, take off your shoes and sit on the raised floor at the back. No English menu I found but you won't be disappointed if you struggle through the handwritten menu. Hot and cold udon available with seasonal ingredients! Gets busy at lunchtime!

Excellent service, delicious food, very fair price
