Kyoto, Japan｜Chikaramochi Shokudo

I came across this small shop by chance. It’s not big, but the food was full of surprises. We ordered 4 portions together, three different rice portions and one udon noodle. They all tasted great. I specially saved them for next time. Must come again if you have the chance to taste it!

I visited on a rainy spring Sunday afternoon. Did the vending machines originally sell Ohagi and Inari? The store was quiet, with no other customers. Time passes leisurely. I ordered Chinese soba, fried chicken curry udon, and a small bowl of rice. Soon after, Chinese noodles arrived, followed by curry udon and rice. Chinese noodles are served in a popular restaurant style with powdered pepper added beforehand. Two pieces of kamaboko and two pieces of chashu. Although the pepper is a little strong, it feels like Chinese noodles. First of all, the aroma and sweetness of the soup stock will soothe your throat. After that, the aroma and spiciness of curry rushes over you. The curry soup is mixed with the chopped fried food, giving it a richness that makes it hard to believe it's just fried food. It was raining that day, so it was a little chilly, but I was sweating by the time I left the store. It's warm. It was quite satisfying. Thank you for the meal.
