About this spot
Togaden serves up hearty bowls of katsu curry and crispy tempura that feel like a warm hug after wandering Nishiki Market. The kitchen balances sweet and savory notes perfectly, making the thick curry sauce an ideal vehicle for drowning out the heat of spicy chili oil if you dare.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'Katsu Curry' to try the restaurant's signature crispy pork cutlet floating in a rich, house-made brown sauce.
- Ask for extra rice on the side; locals often finish their bowl by mixing it directly into the curry to create a creamy porridge texture.
- Save room for the grilled eggplant or pickled vegetables served as a palate cleanser between bites.
