牛タンとカレーうどんとクリスピー餃子 ひまわり［印］池袋店

Himawari Ikebukuro, a three-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station, has built its reputation on beef tongue, curry udon, and crispy gyoza, and it fills up even on weekday evenings. The thick-cut beef tongue (1,980 yen) uses the prized "tan chumoto" and "tanmoto" cuts, sliced generously and prized for being remarkably tender. The signature cilantro curry gyoza wins fans for its blend of spice and fresh cilantro aroma along with an addictive crispy bite. Diners also praise the beef tongue stew served as an opening dish, the rolled omelet made with mentaiko and aosa seaweed dashi, and the sukiyaki-style pork belly and lettuce rolls coated in egg yolk, all carefully prepared and made for sipping alongside drinks. To finish, the special curry udon brings a rich broth that clings beautifully to the medium-thick noodles for a deeply satisfying meal.
