Let me emphasize once again, this place is the origin of Nagoya’s Curry Udon culture.

The old signboard with the previous name still remains intact.
The old signboard with the previous name still remains intact, serving as evidence of its original identity as “Waka-Shachiya.”

 

 

Originally known as “Waka-Shachiya,” the shop had to reluctantly change its name to “Shachinoya” when one of the former employees claimed the trademark upon starting their own business. However, the name “Waka-Shachiya” still lingers on the sleeve signboard, a testament to their unwavering pride. History may have changed, but the authentic flavor that represents the roots of Nagoya’s Curry Udon can still be found right here!
