When it comes to a finishing touch in Osaka, it's not ramen but katsu udon. I arrived around 9pm and ordered Kitsune Katsu Udon for 927 yen at a table. The noodles were chewy like Osaka-style udon. The katsu had more fatty parts than crispy ones. The broth was very delicious.

Roles are written by splitting the role. If you can't do something, let someone who can do it. Watch the movie "Sekai no Okiku". Nakatsugi expands his thoughts to the blue sky. The meaning of the world. A cyclical society viewed from the ground. The absurdity of those who sit back in authority. The longing for freedom that never disappears in any era. Today, I visited "Kasuya Udon Namba Motomachi Store," which reopened after renovation on June 20, 2023. On the first day of the opening, there were many congratulatory flowers and a lively atmosphere, but it has already regained its composure. ・Wakame Kasuya Udon [small] + Tamagokake Gohan Set = 980 yen During lunchtime, rice is served as a service. Among the many menu options, I found a discount of 210 yen for ordering a small size udon. Alright, I'll order the "Wakame Kasuya Udon" in a small size and add the Tamagokake Gohan set. Wow, it's fast. The dish was served in less than 5 minutes. The crispy fried tempura bits added a delightful texture. The broth was also flavorful. By ordering a small size udon, I was able to enjoy the Tamagokake Gohan as well. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. The sparkling atmosphere truly uplifts the spirits. I will definitely visit again. Let's strive on the path we take, so that we have no regrets at the end.

I had some errands nearby, so I stopped by for a late lunch on my way back. As a fan of condiments, I ordered the katsu udon with pickled plum topping. I'm not sure if it's the location or the time of day, but all the customers here were men, except for me. However, it's not that women are unwelcome. The service is very fast. The udon was delicious with plenty of condiments. The balance of oil and condiments in the katsu udon was just right and to my liking. Payment is cash only.

The counter seating only, so I couldn't get in on the first round. I had the kitsune udon with a huge piece of fried tofu, shredded kelp, and pork. The harmony of flavors was amazing! My friend had umeboshi and tsukimi - I want to try them all! The weekday lunch deal seems like a good value!

When it comes to Kasuya Udon, the Kasuya chain's Motomachi branch is located about 10 minutes from Namba Station. The interior of the restaurant is cramped and cluttered, with splash prevention dividers that don't match the size of the tables, making it quite difficult to eat comfortably. I ordered the Curry Kasuya Udon. Honestly, the balance between the broth and curry was good, and the taste was consistent with Kasuya's standard, but over 1,000 yen is just too expensive.

I wandered around looking to eat Kasu Udon and finally ended up here. There are several shops in this area. The main shop was closed for the day, and other shops were temporarily closed. Some shops opened at 10 pm, but I finally made it here. Kasu refers to pork meat scraps. It's something you can only eat in Osaka. I had the Kasu Udon for 680 yen. The udon noodles were at the level of frozen udon, but the broth and pork meat scraps were incredibly delicious. The broth is probably made from bonito flakes and kelp, with very little sweetness like mirin. It has a slightly strong soy sauce flavor but not spicy, just tasty. The pork meat scraps are dry and crispy, but full of unique umami flavor. I couldn't resist and ended up buying a two-meal set and some pork meat scraps as souvenirs. I checked on Amazon and they were selling for about double the price. #KasuUdon #Kasuya #PorkMeatScraps

On this day, I came to Namba for work. It's been years since I last visited, maybe about 6 years ago. I used to come around here for work, and sometimes I would have katsu udon for lunch. So, I decided to visit this place again since it was almost lunchtime. When I entered the restaurant, there were three other customers already there, so I sat at the counter. The staff seemed busy as there was only one person attending to everything. I ordered from the menu, and soon after, onigiri was served. The katsu udon cost 638 yen, and during weekdays at lunchtime, you get two free onigiri. The katsu in the udon was crispy at first, but then it softened as it soaked in the broth. The broth had a slight sweetness to it, and the umami flavor was perfect. The udon noodles had a light chewiness, typical of Osaka-style udon. Overall, the broth, onigiri, and udon were delicious.

I went to Kasuya Namba Motomachi store for dinner today. It was conveniently located on my way back to the hotel. Despite the impact of the new coronavirus, they seem to be open until quite late. I ordered my usual Kasu Udon with extra toppings and also some rice balls. The combination of Kasu Udon and rice balls is just perfect. The Kasu Udon for dinner was superb as always. It's really delicious. I can see why they are able to expand their chain.

I visited a shrine near here that I had wanted to go to for a long time, and stopped by on my way back. I ordered the katsu udon, of course. I heard that at lunchtime, it comes with onigiri, but I wanted to have a quick meal so I just asked for the udon. When the udon arrived...I was a little disappointed because there was not much katsu. Considering it's a specialty shop, it was a bit disappointing...

Kasuya, a udon restaurant in Namba Motomachi, has become famous not only for their udon but also for their local dish called "Kasu" (aburakasu) from Habikino. The renowned Kasuya from Habikino has now expanded into a chain with several locations. While it may not suit those who prefer delicate broth like Imai in Dotonbori, the combination of aburakasu and oboro kombu creates a rich flavor. The name of the restaurant is written as "KASUYA," which may indicate that it is a franchise.

I went at night! The restaurant was empty, so I was able to relax and enjoy my meal. It was my first time eating Kasu Udon, and it was delicious and warmed me up! The drinks came out quickly, and the hormone was also delicious, so I am satisfied!

This shop is located about a 5-minute walk from Namba Station. It is one of the stores of Kasuya, a specialty shop for katsu udon with its main store in Fujiidera. I felt like eating Kasuya's katsu udon, so I visited. I couldn't help but compare it to the other store, Hozenshi. The winner is Hozenshi. Thank you for the meal.

I really wanted to eat Kasu Udon, so I went to KASUYA (´∀｀). This is a popular sister store in Hozoji Yokocho, but the menu seems to be a little different depending on the store... There are plenty of appetizers available, so it might be a good place to have a light drink. Personally, I felt that the Kasu Udon at Hozoji Yokocho was more delicious. Maybe there's something different about it?... I will try going to Hozoji Yokocho next time!

[Osaka Curry Tour Part 8] After eating curry three times that day, I took a leisurely stroll through the city to work up an appetite for my next meal. I realized that I hadn't tried anything typical of Osaka yet. After checking online, I found a chain restaurant nearby that a friend recommended, "KASUYA Namba Motomachi Store." Osaka is also famous for its udon noodles, and I was curious about "katsu udon." Katsu udon uses oil-fried intestines of beef, where the excess oil is removed over time, leaving behind the concentrated flavor of the meat. Perfect for a fan of offal like me! And to my delight, they also had curry udon on the menu! Just right for a pre-dinner snack. The curry udon had a subtle curry flavor with a tempting aroma. The slightly transparent curry broth had a rich flavor from the oil-fried intestines. The noodles had a chewy texture, and the oil-fried intestines added a satisfying depth of flavor. It was different from the usual meat udon, and I thoroughly enjoyed slurping the noodles and munching on the oil-fried intestines. During lunchtime, ordering udon comes with up to two free onigiri (shiso and bonito). A great system for foodies, but since it was my fourth meal of the day and dinner was still ahead, I decided to stick with one onigiri (laughs). Oh, pairing the udon with onigiri was definitely the right choice! Noodles and rice really do go well together. Itadakimasu!

I really love Kansui Udon! A lesser-known Osaka specialty, Kansui Udon from the chain restaurant Kasuya! The main store is probably in Kawachi? Let me tell you, it's incredibly delicious. Made with Osaka dashi and oil, it's the best. You can easily finish the soup until the last drop. It's even okay to drink it all up! Kasuya also offers snacks and alcohol, so it's a great place to come for a light drink. On this day, I had Kansui Udon and Kasuya's Gyudon! The Gyudon seems to be an original menu item? It was delicious! Thank you for the meal.

Taste: Excellent (The katsu udon I had for the first time was delicious) Atmosphere: Good (The person next to me was stacking cardboard boxes on their chair, which was funny) Cost performance: Excellent (Located in Namba, but reasonably priced)

The udon noodles are chewy and delicious, with a generous amount of meat toppings.
