Gyuhachi

When you fancy both curry and pork rice, Gyuhachi’s Stamina Curry is an appealing choice. This signature dish brings pork rice and curry together on one plate, with small, medium and large portions available. One diner who ordered the medium size described enjoying the sweet-and-savoury pork alongside the curry, and breaking the egg partway through the meal. Fukujinzuke pickles and red pickled ginger are available at the table, and you can also adjust the flavours with the counter seasonings as you eat.

If you would rather enjoy beef and curry than have them served together, Beef Bowl Curry is another option. One diner reported that even the small serving came with a generous amount of beef and was filling. Plain Curry Rice comes in small, medium and large sizes; the menu lists it at ¥500. It is a straightforward choice when you want curry on its own, or something to finish with after drinks. Other options include Kimchi Beef Bowl, with a spicy kick, as well as beef shabu-shabu set meals and chilled pork shabu-shabu set meals, so there are choices beyond curry, too.

Side dishes include salad, miso soup, a boiled egg and kimchi. Some drinks come with a small accompaniment: kimchi with beer, for example, or a beef plate with chūhai. That also makes a beef plate an option for a light bite with a drink. For a much larger challenge, the menu’s Gyuhachi Special Curry is listed as weighing 2 kg in total, with 1 kg of rice, 400 g of pork, 400 g of beef and 200 g of curry. Whether you opt for a regular serving or take on the sizeable challenge dish, the Oimachi main branch offers a choice to match your appetite that day.
