Soup Curry GARAKU

Soup Curry GARAKU is a renowned soup curry restaurant so popular that lines form every day and numbered tickets are handed out to waiting customers. This soup curry specialty restaurant is widely known among locals. Its most distinctive feature is undoubtedly the soup. The restaurant’s popularity is said to have begun with the rich flavor created by its original combination of Japanese dashi, which the owner learned to make while working at an udon restaurant, and spices.
