Tsuboru Curry Hotpot Shinsaibashi at Dotonbori, Osaka

Herbal spice curry hotpot served from a Korean pot in Shinsaibashi.

Tsuboru Curry Hotpot is the Shinsaibashi flagship of a curry-nabe concept, evolving from the original "genga teppan nabe" of the Kinoshita restaurant group. The signature dish is a herbal medicinal spice curry broth, poured from a Korean pot (tsubo), designed to be easy on the stomach with a clean, refreshing finish rather than heavy richness. The menu centres on the curry-nabe, with add-ins including meat, vegetables and finishing noodles or rice. The restaurant also operates as part of the Dosanko Bar Yorimichi group, serving izakaya-style dishes alongside the curry pot. Counter, table and half-private seating are available, with WiFi and charging points. Open from 17:00 to midnight, Tsuboru is suited to after-work dinners, dates and group gatherings wanting something warming and distinctive. The "tsuboru" name plays on the idea of a curry that hooks you in, making it a conversation-starting choice for a Shinsaibashi evening.
