Introduction to Ichihachi
Hello, I am a blogger who is sincere about delicious food! Today, I want to introduce one of my truly beloved regular spots, a restaurant specializing in Japanese curry and pasta called **Ichihachi (いちはち)**. Don't be surprised, this is already my fifth visit!
(The exterior of this place gives off a warm, traditional Japanese neighborhood eatery vibe. It's small and charming.)
"Already the fifth visit? Why do I go so often?"
The reason is Ichihachi's special menu items. These dishes, with their deep flavors and unique style, are hard to find elsewhere and keep coming to mind regularly.
Entering Ichihachi!
Atmosphere and Interior
When you open the door and step in, a cozy and quaint space unfolds. The walls are filled with retro Japanese-style decorations and cute lighting that create a warm atmosphere. Sitting here somehow makes your heart feel relaxed.
Signature Dish: Fujiyama Curry
First favorite: 'Fujiyama Curry'
Finally, the dish I ordered has arrived! Ichihachi's signature, **'Fujiyama Curry'**.
The rice is shaped like Mt. Fuji, topped with a yellow egg cover and red cherry tomatoes, making the visual spectacular.
And the taste? Truly a 'mild~~ taste' itself.
Since this curry is matured, the flavor is very smooth and rich. It’s not spicy or stimulating at all, so even people who can't enjoy spicy food or children can delight in it. One bite spreads the curry’s gentle aroma, filling your mouth with happiness.
Special Feature: Refill Availability
And another great charm of this place!
Both rice and curry are refillable! Isn't that generous? When you want a hearty meal, this place is unbeatable.
Second Favorite: Maze Pasta
Second favorite: 'Maze Pasta'
Along with the curry, I ordered another delicacy,
**'Maze Pasta'**, a maze-soba style pasta that looks so appetizing with heaps of katsuobushi flakes, green onions, seaweed powder, and the perfect finishing touch, an egg yolk!
You break the yolk and mix it evenly with the noodles before eating.
The taste? 'Sweet and delicious' is the perfect way to describe it.
The special sauce’s sweet and umami-rich flavor is well absorbed into the springy pasta, making it addictive and irresistible. The added aroma of katsuobushi brings a colorful flavor parade in your mouth.
Overall Impressions and Recommendation
My overall impression of Ichihachi?
For those who want a curry with a deep and smooth flavor that isn't stimulating,
and those who want to enjoy sweet yet special pasta! Above all, if you want a satisfying and cost-effective meal, I confidently recommend **Ichihachi**.
Although I've already been five times, I feel like I will think of it again and make a sixth visit.
I hope you all visit once and fall deeply in love with Ichihachi's charm, just like me!
