Tomato
The top curry shop in Tokyo, where a mix of 36 spices creates delicious bursts of Indian flavor.
Restaurant Details
Curry has long been a fixture on the culinary scene of the UK, due in part to the immigration of Indian communities who shook up the food scene of Great Britain with a healthy dose of Eastern spice. Indian curry has recently experienced a similar boom in popularity in Japan, and this Tokyo restaurant is currently rated number one in the country on Japan’s biggest food reviewing site.
Combining 36 different spices to achieve authentic tasting dishes, the owner-chef expertly replicates both original Indian styles and varieties invented by Indian communities in the UK. Each of the spices is on display in glass jars with handwritten labels, giving diners something to feast their eyes on before these same ingredients find their way onto the table in front of them.
The wagyu Java Curry comes highly recommended: a rich and dense gravy-like sauce which is to die for, with a carefully balanced level of heat, enough to raise your body heat without spoiling the flavor of the dish.
With only three tables and four counter seats available, it might be wise to arrive early or make an advanced reservation to avoid disappointment.
