Located in Hiragishi, Toyohira-ku, Sapporo City, Hokkaido, the main store of Rojiura Curry SAMURAI. is known for its concept of "eating a day's worth of vegetables" specializing in soup curry. The first store opened in 2007, and currently there are around 20 stores mainly in Hokkaido, with branches in Tokyo, Kanagawa, Aichi, Miyagi, Fukuoka, and Osaka. The restaurant has been selected as one of the top 100 curry restaurants by Tabelog from 2017 to 2020, making it particularly popular among soup curry specialty stores in Sapporo. I have visited the main store in Hiragishi before and it was delicious, so it became one of my favorite places. This time, I visited the store at Grand Front Osaka on the 7th floor of the South Building. This is the first branch in Kansai, which opened on September 10, 2020. It's really exciting to have my favorite restaurant open in Osaka. I visited the restaurant on a weekday Friday around 6 pm, and there were only three customers at that time. The menu for each store is available on the official website. Although the popular "Chicken and 20 types of vegetables for a day" menu is usually available, it was a limited menu during my visit, so I couldn't find it. This time, I ordered the "Chicken and 15 types of vegetables" for 1,495 yen (tax included), with the option for crispy chicken. I chose the regular soup base, with a spice level of "mild". The rice portion was selected as large for an additional 110 yen. The total cost was 1,605 yen (tax included). The 15 types of vegetables included carrots, cabbage, bell peppers, mizuna, pumpkin, wood ear mushrooms, burdock, broccoli, sweet potatoes, eggplant, soybeans, potatoes, lotus root, bell peppers, and daikon radish. The soup curry had a generous amount of vegetables and large bone-in chicken, creating a luxurious and healthy visual. The soup curry at this restaurant is made without the use of chemical seasonings, flour, or oil. It is simmered for two days with a mix of vegetables, chicken, pork bones, dried sardines, and bonito flakes, then finished with caramelized onions, ripe tomatoes, and various homemade spices known for their health benefits. The texture of the curry was slightly thick, with a rich and creamy flavor enhanced by the sweetness of the vegetables. The spiciness level was moderate, and the curry had a good balance of flavors. The vegetables are sourced from contract farmers mainly in Shibetsu and Nayoro in Hokkaido (Kamakura store uses Kamakura vegetables). The owner's family also runs a farm, and the soybeans used, called "Yukihomare," are produced by the owner's brother. Each ingredient is cooked to bring out its best flavor, whether boiled, steamed, sautéed, or simmered. While all the vegetables were delicious, I particularly enjoyed the sweet and ripe sweet potatoes and pumpkin, fragrant broccoli, crunchy lotus root, and burdock. The chicken had a crispy exterior but a tender interior that easily broke apart with a spoon. It was well-seasoned and tasted great on its own or with the curry. Looking back, I also ordered the "regular" soup curry last time, so next time I want to try the "mild" or "coconut" base. Overall, it was a delightful meal!

I had soup curry for the first time. The bone-in chicken was tender and fell off the bone easily. I was surprised to find burdock in it, but it was delicious in a new way. The zangi was also tasty with its perfect seasoning. Next time, I plan to try it with cheese topping.

Visited around 12:00 on a holiday. There were already about 20 people lined up, and I waited for about 30 minutes before entering. The soup curry here is definitely in the top 3 in Osaka in terms of deliciousness. I have visited many times already. The location is also very convenient, which is a plus!

I wonder how many times I've been here. Countless times. Today is Saturday, so the escalators and elevators at Grand Front Osaka start moving promptly at 11 am. Knowing this, we agreed to meet 10 minutes early. There was already a long line of people. I wonder which store everyone is aiming for?! I always think about it ☺️ We always come here. Since it's opening time, we can find seats. I think it's time to explore new places, but I rarely visit Osaka. I always end up coming here. Did the taste change? I wonder if it's just my imagination? I'm going to Sapporo in the fall, so I want to go eat authentic soup curry there. There are so many options, it's hard to decide. It was so delicious!! I want to take some zangi home. Thank you for the meal.

◇2nd visit (May 2023) It had been about 2 years since my last visit to Rojiura Curry SAMURAI at Grand Front Osaka. The vegetable-packed soup curry is very popular! The restaurant is located on the 7th floor of the Grand Front South Building. It has a woody and natural cafe-like atmosphere with 6 tables for 4 people, 3 tables for 2 people, and a counter with 4 seats. When I visited on a Sunday, 15 minutes after opening, I was seated at the last available table. Soon after, all the waiting chairs in front of the restaurant were filled, and there was a line extending into the corridor - it's incredibly popular! Orders are placed using the tablet device on the table. You can choose your curry, soup type, spice level, and rice quantity. You can also order paper aprons and large chopsticks (essential for eating the big vegetables) from the tablet's service menu. ■Curry Menu (all prices include tax) ・Chicken and 11 types of vegetables 1,595 yen ・Pork belly and 11 types of vegetables 1,595 yen ・Half chicken, Zangi, and vegetables 1,595 yen ・Vegetables for a day (20 items) 1,595 yen ・Chicken and vegetables for a day (20 items) 1,925 yen ・Pork belly and vegetables for a day (20 items) 1,925 yen ・Okra natto and 11 types of vegetables 1,485 yen ・Shrimp lover's must-eat curry 1,980 yen ・Limited to 10 servings Hokkaido Enjoyment Curry 2,475 yen ■Types of soup ・Regular: Rich vegetable-based soup ・Mild: Japanese-style dashi with soy milk ・Coconut milk: +110 yen ・Mild coconut: Soy milk and coconut +110 yen ・Roasted shrimp soup (regular/mild) +165 yen ■Spice level 0 to 10 (additional charge for 5 and above) This time, I ordered the Half Chicken, Zangi, and Vegetable Curry with roasted shrimp soup at level 3 spiciness, and the Pork Belly and 11 types of vegetables curry with regular level 2 spiciness. The curry, filled with large vegetables, takes some time to prepare, so I waited about 30 minutes after ordering for it to arrive. The curry finally arrived and it looked luxurious with plenty of ingredients! You could tell it was packed with nutrients just by looking at it. ■Half Chicken, Zangi, and Vegetable Curry 1,595 yen (Roasted shrimp soup +165 yen, level 3 spiciness) The presence of vegetables is remarkable! The soup curry contains bone-in chicken, and on top of the rice, there is freshly fried Zangi. The regular soup is vegetable-based, with ripe tomatoes, onions, carrots, and other vegetables creating a thick, creamy texture. Additionally, the soup is made with chicken and pork bone broth, dried bonito, and kelp, with 15 original spice blends added to finish it off. The roasted shrimp soup I chose this time was even richer! The savory aroma of shrimp adds depth to the soup, with plenty of sakura shrimp enhancing the flavor. The combination of shrimp and tomato-flavored soup creates a rich and deep taste - delicious! The vegetables in the curry were as satisfying as ever! This day's vegetables included carrots, cabbage, wood ear mushrooms, eggplant, broccoli, burdock, zucchini, green beans, Chinese yam, bell pepper, and soybeans - a total of 11 varieties. The sweet and large carrots with skin, the juicy eggplant and zucchini, the crunchy soybeans - all of them were delightful. The crispy fried broccoli was also excellent! The most impressive item was the giant fried burdock. Despite its intimidating thickness resembling a branch, it was soft and fluffy when eaten. It is boiled in a soy sauce-based broth and then coated and fried, resulting in a unique flavor and a satisfying texture - delicious! The bone-in chicken was tender and easily came off the bone with just chopsticks. It was moist and easily pulled apart. Dip the chicken into the vegetable and shrimp-rich soup, take a bite with the rice, and your mouth will be in heaven - so delicious! The Zangi was also large and crispy, freshly fried. The juicy chicken breast and the crispy coating were a perfect match. Oh, this Zangi is also of high quality! You can enjoy both bone-in chicken and Zangi, get plenty of vegetables, and feel less guilty - this menu is a real treat!

I felt like having soup curry for the first time in a while, so I went to SAMURAI, a restaurant in Osaka that is one of my top 5 favorite places for soup curry. The ordering system had changed since the last time I visited, now you order using a tablet at your table. First, you choose the number of vegetables, either 11 kinds or 20 kinds, then the ingredients, such as vegetables only, chicken, or pork belly, and finally the type of soup, amount of soup, spiciness level, rice size, and toppings. I chose 20 kinds of vegetables, soft bone-in chicken (with crispy chicken), original soup, normal amount of soup, spiciness level 4 (the spiciest), medium rice size, and 2 pieces of zangi as toppings. I also added a mango lassi and iced chai as drinks. They no longer offer desserts like they did before, and the Catalana dessert is no longer on the menu. I was already full so I couldn't eat anymore, but I noticed that compared to before, the amount of vegetables and soup was smaller, and even though I selected the spiciest level, I couldn't taste any spiciness at all. Thank you for the meal.

I was hesitating because there are various types of chicken, soup, spiciness levels, and toppings to choose from, but I gradually figured out what was just right for me. The staff was kind and the restaurant was clean, so I would like to come back to eat here again!

I'm getting addicted to Soup Curry. I came back today because I really enjoyed the curry at Loguila Curry Samurai. Last time I ordered level 2 spiciness, but I wanted it a bit spicier so this time I went for level 3. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean and had a nice atmosphere. I had the shrimp curry with extra soup, topped with oysters, and a 380g lamb shabu rice. The shrimp curry was delicious, with softer ingredients compared to the pork belly and vegetable curry, making it easier to chew. It was so good that I want to go back again!

I've been getting into soup curry recently. I came to Rojiura Curry Samurai because it's a type of soup curry that doesn't contain wheat. It was recommended to try level 2 spiciness for first-timers, so I ordered that. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean and nice. I had the curry with pork belly and a day's worth of vegetables, with extra soup and oyster topping, and a 280g portion of rice. There were a lot of vegetables in it, so it was sweeter than I expected, so next time I'll try level 3 spiciness. The curry had a satisfying amount of vegetables and pork belly. It was delicious, so I want to go back again!

I met up with my friends from Kanto in Umeda to have lunch, and they took me to an incredibly delicious curry restaurant (*^_^*) This restaurant is a soup curry shop with its main branch in Sapporo, Hokkaido, and it seems like there are many branches in Kanto, but this is their first store in Osaka at Grand Front, and I didn't know about it~ ❤️ I followed my friends' recommendation and ordered the "Chicken and Curry (tax included 1,485 yen)" which came with crispy chicken (you can choose between tender and crispy), regular soup (mild, coconut, etc.), slightly spicy level (you can choose from 0 to 10), and size of rice (from SS to LLL). The curry arrived in about 10 minutes and it looked amazing! It's a stylish curry with shiitake mushrooms and soybeans, which is unusual~!!! I was surprised after the first bite, it's seriously delicious ❤️❤️ It has a rich flavor! The broth is flavorful! When I checked their website, it turns out they don't use any chemical seasonings and the soup is based on vegetables, chicken, pork bones, and bonito flakes! That's why it has such depth (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o))) Each vegetable is carefully cooked, and the burdock is a highlight~ ❤️ It's soft and fragrant without the typical bitterness of burdock! It's been a while since I've had such a hit, and I want to go back soon! Moreover, on this day, both my friend and I were with our babies in strollers, and we were able to bring the strollers into the restaurant and borrow baby seats like Bumbo! The clientele is mostly women, including many office ladies working near Grand Front! The restaurant is also stylish and clean! It's great because you can get there without getting wet in the rain, it's close to the station, and the location is perfect! It was amazing! I immediately told my husband and we decided to go there soon! Thank you for the meal~ ❤️ #Lunch #UmedaLunch #OsakaLunch #GrandFrontLunch #Curry #SoupCurry #UmedaCurry #OsakaCurry #OsakaCurryLunch #UmedaCurryLunch #CurryLunch #RojiuraCurrySAMURAI #RojiuraCurrySAMURAIGrandFrontOsaka #RojiuraCurrySAMURAI #rojiuracurrysamuraiGrandFrontOsaka #FamilyLunch #FamilyLunchOsaka #FamilyLunchUmeda #FamilyLunchGrandFront #FamilyCurry #FamilyCurryLunch #FamilyCurryClub #LongTimeHit

A Hokkaido soup curry restaurant that is moderately popular for lunch. The dishes are full of vegetables and delicious for everyone. You can order using a tablet on the table. I ordered a set with rice topped with grilled cheese and zangi, and ended up feeling really full. It had a feast-like feeling. When I went for a late lunch break, I couldn't get in because lunch service had ended. (;_;)

Soup curry specialty restaurant originating from Sapporo. Not only can you get plenty of vegetables, but there are also a variety of toppings and curry seasonings to choose from, making it hard to decide. The curry has a nice sweetness from the vegetables and was delicious. I would like to go again. #OsakaGourmet #Umeda #Curry

Before, this place seemed to have a Hawaiian vibe... The casual atmosphere remained, making it a very approachable restaurant. There were a few groups lined up along the store, but when I circled back, the line had grown a bit more and I hurried to join. After waiting for about 30 minutes, we were finally seated. Why would people line up for curry like this? Maybe it's because of the generous portions and the delicious taste. You order using a tablet, selecting the curry toppings, soup type (basic or creamy soy milk), spiciness level, rice amount, and optional toppings. It took us a bit of time as we're not good with digital devices, but we finally placed our order. I chose lamb with wasabi and vegetables, while my companion went for the 20-vegetable option. The toppings on the soup curry were very tasty, and we enjoyed mixing them with rice and vegetables. We ended up taking our time and savoring the meal.

While wandering around Grand Front, I stumbled upon my favorite soup curry restaurant. I was a bit hesitant since I had never tried it in Kansai, but after reading reviews about its popularity in Sapporo, I felt reassured and decided to give it a try. I ordered the chicken with 20 different types of vegetables for a medium spiciness level. It arrived in about 15 minutes, and I was happy to see the variety of vegetables in it. The soup had a well-balanced flavor profile with hints of acidity and umami, giving it a classic taste. It was very easy to eat and seemed like a healthy option, making me want to visit every day. It was delicious.

Visited on December 11, 2022. Today's dinner was at the back alley curry restaurant Samurai. I chose the rice with 20 types of vegetables, burdock, and mountain wasabi zangi topping with extra rice. This soup curry restaurant, originally from Sapporo, feels more like a place to eat vegetables rather than curry. There are plenty of deep-fried vegetables in it, so the presence of vegetables is amazing! The natural sweetness of the vegetables comes out and it tastes really good, so it's perfect. Especially the deep-fried burdock is so sweet and delicious, so I recommend it as a topping. Osaka is known as the curry kingdom, but I hope to see more soup curry places in addition to spice curry. Thank you for the meal!

This is a famous soup curry specialty store from Hokkaido, and it's the first branch to open in Kansai. The soup curry here is made without using chemical seasonings, flour, or oil. It's cooked for two days with a large amount of Hokkaido vegetables, chicken, pork bones, dried sardines, and bonito flakes to condense the flavors of the ingredients into a nutritious, additive-free soup base. When I arrived at the store at 11:15 on the weekend, there was one available seat without any wait, but the line grew quickly afterward. I ordered the "20 types of vegetables for a day" which includes a choice of soup type, spiciness level, and rice quantity. The dish arrived with plenty of vegetables, looking delicious. The soup curry was quite tasty, allowing me to fully enjoy the sweetness of the vegetables. I was happy to see so many vegetables in the dish. Thank you for the meal. Next time, I want to try a different type of soup curry.

I'm craving my favorite soup curry, and even though I estimated the curry price to be around 1,000 yen per serving, I ended up spending 2,695 yen after adding toppings. I got the Chicken and 20 types of vegetables (1,815 yen), Samurai Zangi (2 pieces for 385 yen), Large Rice 280g (110 yen), Roasted Shrimp Soup (165 yen), and Large Soup Portion (220 yen). The soup had a sweet and elegant flavor from the added shrimp, and the generous amount of vegetables balanced out the sweetness. The vegetables were roughly cut and had a crunchy texture, making it feel more like a dish where you eat vegetables with a sauce rather than traditional soup curry. The chicken was large and had a satisfying texture, with options ranging from crispy to tender. The soup lacked spiciness but was rich in umami flavor, making it perfect for those who enjoy savoring the ingredients rather than the spices. The large soup portion was indeed massive and visually appealing, although it was challenging to take a good photo due to limited table space. Overall, a flavorful soup curry experience worth trying for those who appreciate ingredient-rich dishes.

I have only eaten soup curry from chain restaurants before, and even though I liked it, when I tried it in Sapporo, the original home of soup curry, it was completely different! It was delicious ♥︎ It was a bit expensive, but it had lots of vegetables and was very satisfying. I definitely want to go back because it was so delicious! I went around 12:30 on a holiday and was able to get in with a wait of 3 groups. By the time I finished eating and left the restaurant, there were even more people waiting in line, so I was lucky to get in with a short wait.

The appearance and interior of the restaurant are very stylish, creating a welcoming atmosphere for solo diners. I came here based on a recommendation from my mother who had been here before. I ordered the chicken and vegetable curry with 20 different types of vegetables, regular soup, spice level 2, and added pork belly. In conclusion, it was incredibly delicious. The soup had a nice level of spiciness and a gentle flavor. The variety of vegetables was outstanding, with fried eggplant and burdock adding to the overall deliciousness. Personally, I particularly enjoyed the sweetness of the bell peppers, which was even better than I had imagined. The chicken was tender and juicy, and paired perfectly with the vegetables and soup, creating a harmonious blend of flavors. I look forward to trying a different flavor next time. The additional pork belly I ordered was melt-in-your-mouth tender and added a nice touch to the dish.

There is a shop on the 7th floor of the south building of Grand Front Osaka. When I arrived around 1:30 pm, there were about 10 customers waiting in line. I waited for about 15 minutes. Orders are placed using a touch screen, which I was not familiar with, so I was a bit slow. I ordered a dish with 10 types of vegetables and chicken for 1430 yen (tax included). It was really packed with vegetables (eggplant, burdock, cabbage, broccoli, carrot, paprika, zucchini, pumpkin, and wood ear mushroom). The bone-in chicken was easy to eat and delicious. You can choose the spiciness level, and I chose medium, but I think I could have gone for the spicier option. I would like to visit this restaurant again.

Rojiura Curry SAMURAI. I went to a curry restaurant in Grand Front Osaka and tried the Chicken and 20 types of vegetables curry! It's great to get so many vegetables in one meal! The ordering process is as follows: 1. Choose your curry 2. Choose your soup 3. Choose the level of spiciness 4. Choose the rice portion size 5. Add toppings 6. Choose between crispy or tender chicken using the touch panel to place your order! This time, I chose: 1. Chicken and 20 types of vegetables 2. Regular 3. Medium spiciness 4. Large portion (380g) 5. Fish fry topping 6. I chose tender chicken! The dish looks colorful with vegetables as the main focus! I could see bell peppers, broccoli, burdock, tomatoes, pumpkin, okra, zucchini, carrots, baby corn, radish, beans, eggplant, watercress, potatoes, daikon radish, leeks, and more. Just by looking at it, there are this many vegetables. It reminded me of Arlio Olio in Namba! Unlike Arlio Olio, there are more fried vegetables which add a hint of oiliness and sweetness to the vegetables! The freshness is good, so it doesn't get boring to eat! The taste of the regular curry is decent with a moderate amount of spices, making it easy to eat for anyone! The chicken is tender with good bone separation! They use a whole chicken leg, which is great! The tenderness pairs well with the curry, making it delicious! The fish fry is crispy with tasty white meat! Even without curry, it's delicious with just salt! It's a bit pricey, but personally, it's worth it! Thank you for the meal!
