( 6211-0319; Chūō-ku, Dōtombori 1-7-22; udon from ¥550) One of the Dōtombori area's oldest and
most revered udon specialists, it's our favourite place to eat when we're in Minami. It's an
oasis of calm amid the chaos (their no-mobile-phone policy ensures quiet). Try the tendon
(tempura over rice; ¥1575). It's sandwiched between two pachinko parlours. There's no
English sign, but the traditional front stands out among the glitter.

never tried Japanese-style curry rice, this new Amerika-Mura restaurant is a good place to
get aquainted with it. A clean, well-lit space with friendly staff, you can choose from
tomato-, beef- or chicken-based curries and a variety of toppings. You can even get genmai
(brown rice) if you wish. The mikusu furai (mixed fry; ¥1080) curry is a good choice.
