01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Thick, satisfyingly firm udon plunged into a dipping broth enriched with savory duck is the signature draw of kamo seiro at Tenkaichi in Yanaka. The noodles' sturdy chew stands up equally well to rich curry broths, whether in classic curry nanban udon or served dipping-style as curry nanban seiro udon.
The noodle selection covers both hot and cold styles, moving from indulgent bowls like kamatama butter udon and kamatama mentaiko soft-boiled egg butter udon to crisp chilled options such as hiyashi tanuki and ume bukkake. Diners can also tailor their meal by adding à la carte tempura, including jumbo prawn, chikuwa fish cake, and assorted vegetables.
Evening Small Plates and Drinks
While rooted in udon, the restaurant operates comfortably like an izakaya in the evening, turning out dishes such as black-tea-fed duck skewers, garlic tempura, and buttered potatoes. Draft beer and sours share space on the drinks list with pure-rice sakes like Takachiyo and Kaze no Mori, as well as a broad shochu selection. Open from late afternoon deep into the night, the table seating offers a relaxed setting to graze through small bites before finishing with a bowl of noodles.
