They are also very picky about how they serve their soup curry. They serve it in a special bowl called a tokoname yaki. This special bowl has a distinctive shape with a two-stage inside. It is raised in one part to create a surface on which to cut into bite-sized pieces larger ingredients.

Takeout is OK!

Rather than a person coming to your table to take your order. You order and pay for your food first at the counter then it is brought to your table. This system makes it much faster to get your food and works very well to speed up take-out orders as well.
This makes it easier to enjoy your food on a park bench near the shop at either Odori Park or Souseigawa Park. It is also convenient for those staying at a nearby hotel to take food as a late-night snack.
