Tucked into the characterful lanes of Shin-Umeda Shokudogai, Shioya is a nine-seat counter spot that wears two hats with effortless charm. By day it is a spice curry specialist, best known for its bone-in chicken curry crowned with a whole slow-cooked chicken leg that falls apart at the touch of a spoon. The curry balances a bright acidity with warming spice, and tables are set with extra seasonings so guests can tailor each bowl to their own taste. When evening falls the counter transforms into a relaxed wine bar, pouring a thoughtful selection alongside the rare Czech Pilsner Urquell and friendly conversation with the staff. Jazz plays softly over the intimate space, which sits within the Shioya group cluster at the northern end of the shokudogai first floor. It suits solo diners at lunch, couples seeking a quiet drink, and small groups who appreciate a bar-style counter over a conventional restaurant. Let Go Umeda point you to this tucked-away counter for a lunch that lingers or an evening glass that turns into two. Shioya is a small place with a big heart, proof that the best flavours in Umeda often come from the cosiest corners.
