FAQ

Good to know

Is Toyohashi worth the trip?
About 20 minutes by shinkansen from Nagoya, or just over an hour on local lines. Toyohashi curry udon and quail dishes exist nowhere else, so it earns a detour if you have the time.
What is Toyohashi curry udon?
A two-layer bowl: grated-yam rice at the bottom, curry udon on top. Finish the noodles and rice appears underneath. The city maintains an official definition of what qualifies.
Why is quail a local specialty?
Toyohashi is one of Japan's leading producers of quail eggs. Seeing quail on a skewer or yakitori menu is a mark of this area.
