About this place
A bowl filled with translucent broth alongside a punchy, well-spiced curry defines the routine for many who visit Ohmura in Shiomi, Koto Ward. The staple order is a set meal pairing fragrant soba or udon with a mini curry. Crafted in a Kansai style, the light, semi-transparent broth goes easy on salt, allowing the gentle depth of shaved dried fish flakes to come through right down to the final sip. In contrast, the curry delivers enough heat to break a light sweat, with the mellow soup and spicy sauce complementing each other as you alternate spoonfuls.
The array of budget-friendly toppings adds to the pleasure of returning. Starting with vegetable kakiage tempura, options like sausages, croquettes, chikuwa fish cake, and fried white fish fillets are priced affordably at 50 yen or 100 yen, making it easy to build your own bowl. In addition to hot soba, diners can order sets with chilled bukkake udon or soba, as well as old-fashioned ramen, keeping meal choices easy and adaptable to the day's mood.
Although labeled as a tachigui (standing-style) spot on its sign, the interior provides seated counter spots. Customers place their order at the counter, set down their tray while waiting for the food, pay in cash, and carry the meal to a seat. Open during the morning and midday hours from Tuesday through Friday, it is a dependable stop for an early bite before work or a quick, fuss-free lunch.
