About the Restaurant
Niku Udon Hiroshige brings the meat expertise of a wagyu-focused restaurant to udon. Every bowl uses A5-grade wagyu, with pressure-cooked beef prepared until tender. The restaurant also uses the flavorful cooking liquid from the beef in its curry broth, reflecting Kyoto’s approach of making full use of ingredients.
Highlights
- The ¥3,380 Giant Shrimp Tempura Curry Udon combines first dashi and wagyu cooking broth in a piping-hot clay pot.
- The ¥2,000 First Dashi Udon serves the broth, noodles, wagyu, and toppings separately so guests can build the bowl in stages.
- Other menu choices include Kujo Green Onion Curry Udon at ¥2,480, Giant Maitake Tempura Udon at ¥2,780, and Grilled Cheese Curry Udon at ¥3,080.
- Gyokuro costs ¥1,200, sencha costs ¥800, and cold tea costs ¥700.
- Seasonal vegetable tempura, a small wagyu simmered-beef dish, Kyoto pickles, extra rice, and a sweet finish are served as part of the signature bowl experience.

Before you buy
- When can I try the Giant Shrimp Tempura Curry Udon?
- It will be available from October 1, 2026, when Niku Udon Hiroshige opens. The restaurant plans to serve customers daily from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
- How much is the Giant Shrimp Tempura Curry Udon?
- The dish costs ¥3,380 (tax included).
The signature curry udon is finished in a clay pot, creating a dramatic burst of steam when the lid is lifted. A5 wagyu cooked in a pressure cooker sits with giant shrimp tempura, while first dashi forms the base of the curry. The beef cooking liquid adds another layer of flavor rather than being discarded.
The First Dashi Udon offers a different way to experience the restaurant’s approach. Guests first taste the clear broth, then the noodles on their own, and finally combine the wagyu and condiments to follow the changing flavors. This ¥2,000 dish makes the components of the meal especially easy to appreciate.
Tea is also part of the dining experience. Gyokuro and sencha are brewed in individual teapots, with a second infusion offered so guests can notice how the aroma and taste develop. The townhouse setting uses lattice doors, traditional roof tiles, lanterns, and a subdued charcoal-and-natural palette, creating a quiet stop for a meal in central Kyoto.
The restaurant is intended for both local diners and people exploring Kyoto. Its continuous daytime and evening service allows for a later lunch or an early dinner, while the location near Kyoto City Hall places it within walking distance of several central sightseeing areas.
