    The curry is as excellent as people say, a fabulous mashup of Indian and Japanese influences, but curry with a selection of Japanese microbrews, as a jazz trumpet riffs in the background? Sign me up.

    Japanese curry was fantastic, worth the trip to get here. Cozy restaurant with small garden in the back. Generous portions! Highly recommended.

    Amazing curry!! Very nice people and the food is the best we've had in Japan this far. Really couldn't recommend it any more! Also try the anise tea, it's very tasty!!

    Amazing local curry spot! Menu is only in Japanese, so kind of hard to go beyond vegetable, chicken or spinach. Owner is super nice and you can use google translate to order stuff!

    Really delicious veggie option with lentils, rice and pickled vegetables. Heavy Indian influence. Would highly recommend making the trek out here for dinner.

    Bohemian style curry restaurant with a lovely garden. Cheerful staff explained the menu to us. Tandoori chicken was succulent paired with brown rice, spinach curry and a craft lager beer.

    You will smell the beautiful aroma before spotting the semi-foliage -concealed entrance.

    Excellent curry. Take bus 46 from shigo street. Menu is in Japanese but ask for the female chef who can speak English

    Amazing curries and a great beer selection 😋. And the woman who runs the shop is so super nice and will also translate the menu for you 😊.

    일본의 아기자기한 느낌이 제대로 풍겨나오는, 자그마한 카레식당이에요. 일본어 메뉴밖에 없어서, 주문하는데 살짝 힘들었지만. 제대로 잘 만든, 처음 맛보는 특이한 비쥬얼의 카레는 그 어떤 곳보다 만족도가 높았답니다. 조리 시간이 굉장히 오래 걸리지만, 안에서 이것저것 구경하고 있음 금방 나와요~ 현지 로컬들만 찾는듯한 숨은 최고의 카레 맛집! 아늑해요!

    辛さもスパイス感もそれほど強く感じませんでした。(日頃からスパイス強めのカレーに慣れてしまったせい?)それでもキーマのほうれん草は今まで食べたことのない味で🍅も入って美味しかったです。こちらで働く女性がとてもべっぴんさんで感じも良かった😃

    点数からも分かるように,スパイシーで美味しいカレーがここにはあります. 初めての方はあいがけで注文が吉. そして飲み物の種類が思いの外多く,昼からちょい飲みも可能. 駐車場はありませんが,駐輪場はあります. 席数はそこまで多くないので注意.

    Been here 5+ times
    ワンオペで営業されていることが多いので焦らず気長に待ちましょう。どのカレーも絶品なので待った甲斐はあったなとなります🍛

    新作の丹後産猪カレーは仕込みに時間がかかるため、土日をのぞいて週2日くらいのペースで提供されるそうです。
