Japan’s curry is its own dish — thick, dark, faintly sweet, poured over rice. Aichi’s claim: the world’s biggest curry chain was born here in 1978, and curry udon is taken seriously enough to have rules.

FAQ

Good to know

Is there a Nagoya curry?
The city has a taste for heat — the same instinct behind Taiwan ramen — so chilli-forward curry has taken root here. Curry udon is strong too, and some shops build it on a soybean-miso dashi.
Does curry udon count as Nagoya-meshi?
It is not on the canonical list, but it sits right next to the miso-nikomi tradition, and plenty of udon shops serve a dashi-based curry udon.
Can I choose the spice level?
Usually yes. But the scale differs from shop to shop, so start mild on a first visit.
