Worth the Wait: Fumiya’s Broth & Curry Udon 🍛

August 16, 2025 / Food, review

I stopped by Fumiya in Nishiki Market and tried their Fumiya Nabe and curry udon — both were amazing! I had to wait a little, but honestly, the flavor made it worth every minute. The broth was so rich and comforting, I could drink it all day. The atmosphere felt cozy and very Kyoto. I’m […]
