Unusually for a donburi chain, the signatures here are oyakodon (chicken and egg) and Kyoto-style udon. The dashi-forward menu makes lighter combinations easier than at most rice-bowl rivals.

Nakau publishes nutrition information for 112 menu items, and we list all of it here. It is the lightest in its genre, which makes quality easier to prioritize over quantity.

At the extremes, “鶏そぼろまぜのっけうどん朝食 小” is the lightest meal at 330 kcal, while “和風牛あいがけカレー 2倍盛” tops the menu at 1,354 kcal. The 1,024 kcal spread means your choice matters a great deal here.

Worth shortlisting a few options before you order on a lighter day.

“柚子オニオン藁焼き鰹たたき丼 特盛” carries the most protein at 62.4 g. A good option when you want protein without the calories that usually come with it.

Some single items carry over half the Japanese daily salt target (7.5 g for adult men). Leaving the soup or skipping table condiments is the easiest way to bring that down.
