Located north of Minamimorimachi, down the Tenjinbashi-suji Shopping Street, on the east side you'll find a small, quaint home-style restaurant tucked away in a narrow alley. The interior is simple yet filled with historical charm, featuring only a counter with around 8 seats. I ordered the shrimp and clam coconut curry along with the spice chicken curry for 1100 yen. Although I only had two choices, it turned out to be a great decision. The coconut curry had a wonderful sweetness from the coconut without being overpowering, while the spice curry was flavorful with just the right amount of heat. Combining these two curries was an excellent choice. The owner seemed to have a unique sense of pride, and there were curry enthusiasts who appeared to be regulars. Time seemed to pass differently in this place, almost like having your own hidden curry sanctuary.

I had a curry with a combination of mutton and spicy chicken! The tropical-style interior of the restaurant is stylish. The restaurant has only 8 counter seats and is run by the owner alone. The owner may seem unapproachable at first glance (lol), but is actually quite friendly when you talk to them. The spicy chicken was moderately spicy and the pieces were large, making it delicious. The mutton was tender without any gamey taste, and the spices were just right. It wasn't overpowering with spices, but it made me sweat gradually.

On this day, I had some errands to run in Minamimorimachi in the afternoon! I decided to have lunch around Minamimorimachi and was craving some spicy curry, so I visited "Yamaguchi Curry." "Yamaguchi Curry" is a popular curry restaurant that used to operate as a sublease in Awaza, then temporarily closed, reopened in Higo Bridge, closed again, and finally reopened in Minamimorimachi in July 2015. It is an old and popular curry specialty shop. The location of the restaurant is about 150 meters east from exit 5 of Minamimorimachi subway station, in a building at the back of a mixed-use building on the 1st floor. The yellow sign and menu board of "Yamaguchi Curry" in front of the building are the landmarks. I arrived at the restaurant a little before noon and was the first customer. The interior of the restaurant is a small place with a green and yellow pop decor, with a counter seating for 8 people. The owner, who is in his 50s, runs the restaurant alone. I sat at the counter in the middle and checked the menu hanging on the wall. The curry options for the day were "Bean and Lotus Root Curry," "Pork Curry," and "Pork Keema Curry." This time, I ordered the "Bean and Lotus Root Curry" and "Pork Keema Curry" combination in a large serving (*^^*) ◉ Combination Curry Large Serving ¥1,300 ⚫︎ Bean and Lotus Root Curry ⚫︎ Pork Keema Curry After ordering, the combination curry arrived relatively quickly! In the center of a large plate, yellow rice is served, with two types of curry spread on both sides. The overall glossy visual is perfect for Instagram. First, I tried the "Bean and Lotus Root Curry!" The curry sauce is light, not very spicy, with a mild spice flavor dominated by the taste of coconut milk! The texture of the beans and lotus root is good, giving an ethnic finish and delicious taste (*^^*) The yellow rice is cooked quite firm, which goes well with the light curry sauce (#^.^#) Next, I tried the "Pork Keema Curry!" Compared to the "Bean and Lotus Root Curry," this is a rich and thick Keema curry with a sticky texture, not very spicy but with a refreshing spice flavor, and it's delicious ＼(^^)／ It's like the classic spicy curry with a smooth taste. Towards the end, I mixed these two curries together and enjoyed it until the last bite (#^.^#) I'm glad I could enjoy the classic spicy curry after a long time (*^^*) I would like to visit again! Thank you for the meal (*^^*)

Introducing a curry restaurant located near Minami-Morimachi Station and Osaka Tenmangu Station. The menu includes Spicy Chicken Curry, Pork Curry, and a daily special curry, which on this day was a curry with beans and lotus root. The curry is located in Showa Building on the first floor. Today, I ordered a combination of Spicy Chicken Curry and Pork Curry (1200 yen). The curry combination comes with colorful vegetables and pickles. The rice is saffron rice. The Spicy Chicken Curry is moderately spicy with a hint of bitterness. It has a variety of spices as the main flavor rather than the richness of the ingredients. On the other hand, the Pork Curry is not as spicy as the chicken curry and has a refreshing taste with the acidity of tomatoes. Enjoying the curry with pickled vegetables helps reset the palate. I broke a little sweat and finished my meal. Rating: ☆☆★★★: Would like to visit if passing by.

During the Obon holiday, I had planned to visit the restaurant, but the owner was also on holiday, so I had to reschedule my visit. I ordered the usual mix plate, Spicy Chicken Curry, and Coconut Mustard Curry with Shrimp and Clams. The mix plate allowed me to choose the two mentioned curries, and they were both delicious. The Chicken Curry had a classic spicy flavor, while the Coconut Curry was milder and well-balanced. The pickled carrots and daikon on top were fresh, and the sweet tomato pickles were exceptional. I would love to take home a bottle of those. The contrast between the curry and pickles textures was fantastic. #food #foodgsm #instafood #foody #instaphoto #foodpic #curry #yummy #instayummy #curry #highlyratedonTabelog #instacurry #Tabelog #curryinOsaka #OsakaSpicyCurry #YamaguchiCurry

I went to "Yamaguchi Curry" in Minamimori-machi. It is a small restaurant with only eight counter seats. It is not a curry from Yamaguchi Prefecture, but a curry shop run by Mr. Yamaguchi. I ordered the "Ebi to Asari no Coconut Mustard Curry" for 1100 yen and the "Pork Keema Curry" for 500 yen. The curry looked beautiful when it arrived. The combination of sweet coconut and spicy keema curry was well-balanced. However, if I were to go again, I might choose the flavorful Pork Keema Curry. It's a place I would like to visit again.

Pork keema and shrimp and clam coconut mustard curry side by side. Both curries are on the chewy side and delicious. The spices come on gradually. The shrimp and clam curry is slightly milder due to the coconut, but the mustard flavor is strong. The pork keema has a strong spice flavor. Mixing them together is delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I entered the restaurant at 12:50 on Thursday. There was only one customer before me. It seems like the snack bar has been renovated. It's a small place with only 8 seats at the counter, and it's run by an elderly male owner. The background music is loud with overseas pop songs playing. I ordered the "Mixed Curry for 1100 yen + Large Serving for 100 yen, subtotal 1200 yen". For the mixed curry, I chose Spicy Chicken Curry and Pork Curry from the 3 options available today. The food was served in about 5 minutes. The aroma of spices fills the air. The curry sauce is on the lighter side. I tried the Spicy Chicken Curry first... Hmm!?... something is hard... Hmm!?... spicy... the hard part is probably carrots... they intentionally left some crunchiness by adjusting the cooking time. It was a bit surprising, but it's actually a nice finishing touch. The chicken is cut into big chunks and has a strong presence. The Pork Curry also has tender thick slices of pork. Overall, the Spicy Curry is like a classic Osaka-style curry. It uses a small amount of olive oil and only salt for seasoning. The taste is not very rich due to the low oil content and moderate saltiness. It has a refreshing and light taste, yet strangely satisfying. However, it is very spicy... you'll start sweating from the inside out. I ordered a large serving, but the portion was a bit small. I would give the Spicy Curry a score of 80 points.

I had tried a few times before but the restaurant was always closed, but this time I confirmed on Instagram that it was open and visited. The small counter had a mature master managing it alone. I ordered the Spicy Chicken and Shrimp Clam Coconut Mustard Curry as a set. The finely chopped vegetables were easy to eat and provided a nice texture. The flavors of each curry were rich with various spices, offering a balance of sweetness and spiciness that made it delicious to eat.

This week's Monday is also curry WEST top 100 store tour! The first stop today is at Yamaguchi Curry, located about a 3-minute walk from Exit 5 of Osaka Metro Minamimorimachi Station! It is a curry WEST top 100 store on Tabelog. I arrived at 13:40, close to closing time, as there were no customers. I ordered the Keema Curry and Mala Curry combination curry for 1,100 yen. The curry arrived in about 3 minutes. First, I took a bite of the Keema Curry. It wasn't very spicy, but it had a good amount of spices. Then I took a bite of the Mala Curry. Hmm? Another bite! I didn't feel the spiciness that I had imagined in the Mala Curry! As I continued to eat the Keema, I started to sweat a little bit. The Mala Curry was a bit disappointing! Thank you for reading until the end! If you could 'like,' 'follow,' or 'save the restaurant,' it would be a great encouragement for me, so thank you in advance!

I went back to GW and started to miss the spice curry in Osaka! When I searched for where to go, I found a new restaurant, Yamaguchi Curry. It was my first visit. They use as little oil as possible, mainly olive oil, around 10 types of spices, seasoning with only salt, and use a type of rice similar to brown rice called Sanmindi from Omi. They aim to make curry that is good for your body. This is a curry specialty shop with the owner's commitment to homemade spice curry. The address of Yamaguchi Curry is 2-6 Kouba

I went to "Yamaguchi Curry" in Konumecho, Kita-ku, Osaka. The colorful tiled counter top is really cool! It's located on the 1st floor of the Showa Building towards the back. I ordered the "Ma La Curry" (880 yen) which is said to be spicy with Sichuan peppercorns. The standout feature was the mini tomato on top of the turmeric rice. It had a soft texture like peeled pickles and was surprisingly delicious! The tofu was cold and diced, not the expected minced meat and tofu like mapo tofu. The spiciness and numbness of the curry was not too strong. The only downside was that there wasn't enough curry sauce for the rice. This hidden gem of a spice curry restaurant is marked by the yellow sign and menu board at the entrance of the Showa Building.

It's just before 12 o'clock on a weekday. There was one customer already seated, and then two more came in. They ordered shrimp and clam curry and pork keema with a side-by-side arrangement. The dishes that came out were filled with colorful vegetables. The spicy flavor and crispy texture of the vegetables were really good.

I revisited the restaurant after receiving a request from a senior colleague with whom I had dined before. It had been quite a while. Today's recommendations were the Mutton Curry and Pork Keema Curry combo. I ordered it with mini tomatoes as a topping, which turned out to be pickles. The acidity of the tomatoes paired well with the spicy curry. The curry at this restaurant is rich in spices, offering a perfect balance of umami and spiciness. It's relatively spicy, so I recommend it to those who enjoy spicy curries. Despite it being winter, I could feel a slight sweat on my forehead while eating. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

Visit date and time: January 18, 2022, 13:35 Second stop on the food tour along Tenjinbashi-suji, the specialty spice curry shop "Yamaguchi Curry." Located just a short walk east from the border between 2nd and 3rd block of Tenjinbashi-suji shopping street. Ordered the "Ground Minced Keema Curry." While there are many top-notch curry shops in the Tenjinbashi-suji area, this might be my number one pick. The owner informed the next customer that the Keema had sold out. Grateful to have gotten the last serving. Food & Taste: 4.1 The "Ground Minced Keema Curry" was visually stunning. The ingredients were cut into small pieces, making it easy to eat. The curry had a refreshing spiciness in both flavor and aroma. The texture was packed with spices, evident by the powdery composition. The minced meat was generously included, providing a unique umami flavor. Despite the richness, the spiciness was not overpowering, striking a good balance. The rice was compacted, offering more than it seemed. It had a high-quality fried rice-like texture, which was truly delicious. The ingredients on top of the rice helped to moderate the spiciness and provided flavor variation. The automatic mixing ensured a consistent taste throughout, preventing monotony. Overall, it felt like a complete dish. Service: 3.0 The service was average. Atmosphere: 3.5 Unusually located inside a mixed-use building in this area. The lunch menu sign is the landmark, but it can be easily mistaken for the adjacent shop. The narrow passage to the building may make you question if you are in the right place. It's a hidden gem location, which I personally like. The interior is colorful, with a small L-shaped counter seat space. There is ample room between seats and at the counter. The bright Western music played at a high volume makes it a comfortable space even for solo diners. No previous customers, only one customer behind me. Cost Performance: 3.3 The "Ground Minced Keema Curry" costs 880 yen. Given the high level of completion, I wouldn't mind paying a bit more. Drinks: Not available. Since it was my birthday two days ago, I decided to treat myself to delicious food only on this day. It turned out to be a great choice. I'm satisfied with my luck in finding this place.

Today, I came to "Yamaguchi Curry" again in search of curry! I've been here three times before, but it was closed! Finally, it's open! I ordered the combination plate. The colors are vivid and appetizing! The curry also has a nice kick of spices! Definitely recommended!

During a business trip, I was taken to Tenma by a colleague who loves curry! The interior of the restaurant was colorful and the aroma of spices was appetizing! They offered a style where you can choose 2 out of 3 curry options. I ordered the "Bean and Lotus Root Curry" and the "Pork Curry"! The bean and lotus root curry was light, while the pork curry was rich in flavor. The texture of the pickles was great and I finished both curries in no time! It was delicious! Thank you for the meal!

On December 27th (Monday), I finished work last week. My wife went out shopping, so I had lunch alone. I decided to visit a popular spice curry restaurant, which I hadn't been to in a long time. It is located about 50 meters from Tenjinbashi-suji Shopping Street, near Minami-Morimachi Station. I arrived right after the opening at 11:30 am. The restaurant is not very big, with only a few counter seats. The aroma of spices whetted my appetite. There were no other customers, just the owner who seemed to be around my age, managing the place alone. I ordered the "Mutton Curry" and the "Keema Curry" combination (1200 yen). The food arrived in two to three minutes. The vibrant green of the watercress, the white of the daikon radish, and the red of the cherry tomatoes made the dish look beautiful and appetizing! I started with the Mutton Curry. It had a pleasant spiciness, not overpowering, but gradually building up. It was delicious with a strong umami flavor! The mutton was well-cooked and tender. The turmeric rice, cooked slightly firm, complemented the curry well. I wiped the sweat off my forehead and continued eating. The refreshing acidity of the daikon and carrot achar enhanced the spiciness even more. The spiciness was stronger in the Mutton Curry compared to the Keema Curry, and I personally preferred the Mutton Curry. A regular customer who arrived later ordered a large serving of the Mutton Curry, and I thought I should have done the same. I felt like I wanted a bit more, but I finished my meal feeling very satisfied. It was a delicious meal, thank you.

Yamaguchi Curry at Osaka Tenmangu Shrine! Arrived shortly after opening and was the second customer! The seating is only at the counter and the place is not very big, run by the owner alone. Ordered the Pork Curry and Keema Curry combination! After a short wait, it was time to eat! Ah, the flavors are rich with spices and delicious! Thank you for the meal!

This is a restaurant from the Top 100 in 2020. I was debating where to eat for lunch and luckily got a seat right away. I ordered the Pork Keema Curry for 880 yen. The main seating in the restaurant is at the counter. The dish comes with saffron rice in the middle, surrounded by curry. You can taste the texture and flavor of the pork, and it's quite spicy. The rice is topped with diced vegetable pickles, which provide a sweet and sour palate cleanser. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the curry.
