According to the stamp card I received from a certain restaurant, there are seven stores in Tokyo and one each in Ebisu and Yokohama, indicating that it is a wide-ranging Indian restaurant. In Tokyo, you often see similar Indian restaurants in various places. I personally like to eat Indian curry with naan, but I haven't been to many of these restaurants, so I can't say whether the food is tailored for Japanese taste or authentic Indian. It's always better if the food is delicious, but I honestly don't know. The day before, I watched a TV show with Ariyoshi walking around, and they happened to feature an Indian curry restaurant, which made me suddenly crave it. When you watch TV, if they show ramen, you want to eat ramen, and if they show hamburgers, you want to eat hamburgers... Even when you're staying at home, your mind is busy with thoughts about food. Lately, I have been going to Yurakucho and Ginza more often, especially when I go for a haircut. It was lunchtime, so for a change, I decided to look for a restaurant without researching in advance. It's a bit difficult to enter a restaurant located underground, or rather, peering into the dimly lit staircase. In such cases, the menu on the ground floor or the standing signboard is a lifeline, so I went down because it looked good. With the lunch set, you can choose from several types of curry and have unlimited naan and rice, which is a common service in Indian restaurants in Tokyo. I was curious about the baking of the naan, as it often varies depending on the restaurant. Personally, I prefer it to be a bit more crispy and slightly burnt on the edges. So, it was on the soft side overall, with less crunchiness. In the photos, the salad is also on the plate, but I placed it myself for the picture. I tried to follow the menu as it was. The curry was delicious as expected, with the classic butter chicken having a familiar taste. I ordered the set at the beginning of lunch, and it was just right to choose two types of curry to satisfy my cravings. When I entered the restaurant, there was no one else there. But more and more groups of two started coming in, making it lively. Seeing this crowded scene on the weekend, I thought that Tokyo, Japan is a convenient place where world cuisines are accepted. Because there is demand for it, restaurants have opened in Japan. The staff, Indian people, who I respected this time for their proficiency in Japanese, must have experienced a different kind of cultural shock when they first came to Japan and started working at the restaurant, as they probably didn't imagine that their home country's cuisine would be so well-received. Being stirred by this WORLDwide experience of having curry set for lunch, I am eager to actively try various cuisines from different countries in the future.
