Visited on Saturday afternoon. Visited two other nearby restaurants but they were closed, so I felt like a refugee until I found this place haha. There were two groups of customers before me. I sat at the counter and ordered the Curry Combo for 1,000 yen (Chicken curry and minced meat with lotus root curry), Eggplant HOT pickles for 100 yen, and a Mini drink (lassi) for 100 yen. I asked for extra spiciness to make it hot. It was quite spicy and made me sweat. The lassi at the end was delicious haha. The taste was just delicious. Maybe because of the pickles, there was a slightly strong sour taste. Since it came with a side dish, the eggplant pickles were not really necessary.

Thank you for always reading. If you like it, I would be happy if you could bookmark the store by clicking the "Save Store" button. Before starting my blog, I visited Mori Shouten, a place I used to go to. It's been a while since I visited Mori Shouten. The address is 4-3-9 Nishitemma, Kita-ku, Osaka City, and the nearest station is Minamimorimachi Station, a 10-minute walk away. The curry and pickles at Mori Shouten are a mix of Indian and Japanese flavors that make you want to eat them every day. It's a restaurant selected in the top 5,000 on Tabelog. I arrived at the store at 11:30. Closed on Sundays. Business hours are [Mon-Fri] 11:30-14:30, around 18:00-19:30, [Sat/holidays] 11:30-14:30. I disinfected my hands with alcohol at the entrance and got permission to take photos before sitting at the counter seat. The menu includes Chicken Curry, Butter Chicken Curry, Minced Meat and Lotus Root Curry, and Vegetable and Bean Curry. There is also a limited-time Spinach and Mushroom Beef Keema. The spiciness level is indicated by ★ marks, and you can choose additional spiciness levels for free: Mild, Hot, Very Hot, and Very Very Hot. On weekdays from 6 pm, and on Saturdays and holidays, you can have a combination of two curries. I ordered the Butter Chicken and Chicken Curry with extra spiciness. The total cost was 1,050 yen, including the combination and extra portion. The waiting time for the curry is also enjoyable! I watched the owner quietly make the curry over the counter. After a while, the curry was served! It smelled so good! First, I tried the Butter Chicken Curry. It was a creamy and mild chicken curry with yogurt and nuts. The aroma of butter and the richness of chicken were amazing! The curry contained large pieces of Tandoori chicken, providing a satisfying texture. The Chicken Curry had plenty of chicken simmered in a light roux. The roux, made without flour in the Indian style, had a complex and exquisite spice blend that was delicious. The curry, which combines Indian and Japanese elements, has a harmonious blend of spices that cater to the Japanese palate. The bean sprout and bean pickle had a Japanese taste, with pickled carrots, cauliflower, and cabbage, providing a nice balance and reset. The rice, made from Japanese rice, truly combines the best of Indian and Japanese cuisine. I enjoyed a delicious and satisfying meal to the last bite! After paying and thanking the owner of Mori Shouten, I left the store. Thank you for the meal! It was delicious! I will definitely come back! Thank you for reading until the end. I hope this information will be helpful for your gourmet adventures.

Last time, I had the mildest butter chicken curry, so this time I ordered the chicken curry with the highest spiciness level of 3 marks (900 yen). The menu had descriptions of the spiciness levels, which was helpful. I also ordered extra rice (50 yen) and a mini ice chai for lunch (100 yen). The curry was darker in color than the butter chicken curry, indicating its spiciness. However, it was not too spicy and even someone like me who is not good with spicy food could easily eat it. It was not lacking in flavor either, showing the master's skill. The pickled vegetables served with the curry and the pickles in a separate dish added a nice touch, and I finished the meal in no time. I added extra syrup to the ice chai and left feeling satisfied before heading out into the scorching city.

This was my favorite curry restaurant in the area, so I used to go there for lunch often. After returning from a transfer, I revisited after about 5 years. When I opened the door, I was greeted by the nostalgic aroma of spices. I ordered the Butter Chicken Curry for 1000 yen, with extra rice for 50 yen, and a Mini Iced Chai for 100 yen. As I savored the well-cooked, large pieces of chicken, I tasted the gentle Butter Chicken Curry. I felt a hint of acidity compared to before, and it seemed like the depth of flavor had increased. When I asked the owner at the time of payment, he said, "No, we haven't changed the way we make it. Maybe it's because it has yogurt in it." Maybe it's just my perception. The level of satisfaction remains the same. I might go at night or on the weekend to enjoy two different curries.

- Ordered item: Butter Chicken Curry for 1,000 yen - Dish description: The specialty of this dish is a rich and creamy curry with Tandoori chicken. It uses yogurt and nuts in the sauce. The curry itself is on the sweeter side but has a unique tanginess to it. The chicken pieces are quite large, making it a bit difficult to eat, but they are delicious. It was a curry with a taste that I haven't experienced before.

Visit time: 13:50 on a weekday Waiting time: None Menu: Pork and Sweet Potato Curry for 1,000 yen + Large Rice for 50 yen During the Golden Week holidays, many shops were closed, so the ones that were open had long lines. After wandering around for over an hour, I finally made it to Mori Shokudo for the first time in three years. I arrived just before closing time and some menu items were already sold out. I ordered the Pork and Sweet Potato Curry. The curry contained both tough and tender cuts of pork, providing a variety of textures to enjoy. Personally, I preferred the tougher cuts that resembled game meat. The sweetness of the sweet potato surprisingly complemented the dish well. The spiciness level was low as I ordered a mild dish. Overall, it was a delicious meal.

Today's lunch was at Mori Shouten. The interior of the shop is small but cozy, and it was full when I arrived. The decor is nice and clean. I ordered the chicken curry. The wait was short, and the curry arrived quickly. It was spicy and flavorful. Delicious. Thank you for the meal. I will definitely visit again.

I visited for lunch on a regular day. I had the seasonal limited curry with sweet potatoes and pork. It was easy to eat and delicious with a slightly sweet taste. It reminded me of a nostalgic flavor. Next time, I want to try the spicy chicken curry. Thank you for the meal!

☆彡Appearance-wise, it was a curry specialty shop that I had always wanted to visit, with cute illustrated menus catching my eye. Even during the busy lunch hours, they were managing on their own, and I appreciated how the menu clearly indicated three levels of spiciness, making it easy for even first-timers to understand. All the curry dishes had vegetables in them, but the Chicken Curry, with its maximum spiciness level, felt like the signature dish. However, on that day, I felt like having a milder curry, so I ordered the weekly special Sweet Potato and Pork Curry. It was served promptly within 5 minutes of ordering. ○ Pork and Sweet Potato Curry (1,000 yen) It had a Western curry appearance with a homely roux-like texture. The stimulating scent of cumin aroused my appetite, but when I tasted it, the acidity of the tomatoes spread, offering an unexpected gentleness. I instinctively felt that this curry highlighted the goodness of the vegetables with its acidity. The pork was only seared, lacking the softness of being stewed, giving a texture similar to chewing on a pork steak. The contrast with the gentleness of the sweet potatoes was an interesting combination. It was a curry that perfectly matched my mood that day, making me feel like I could have even ordered a large serving. This restaurant, which makes vegetable-based curries enjoyable, is definitely worth looking forward to (^ω^*) Thank you for reading until the end. Your likes, saves, and follows are encouraging for me. Please click if you enjoyed it (*･ω･)*_ _) I also have an Instagram account @ginjirou.star. Please check it out if you'd like. Thank you!

Limited time offer curry with taro, chicken, and shimeji mushrooms for 1,000 yen. I feel like I visited this place once before, but I don't remember it well, so I'll consider it my first visit. This time I tried the limited edition curry, but I think the base is chicken curry. It was very delicious, so next time I'll try the chicken curry.

I was feeling like having chicken curry for lunch as I was close by for work, so I visited around 12 PM. The restaurant was about 70% full, so I was able to get a table right away. I ordered the chicken curry for 900 yen and a mini iced chai for 100 yen. The owner was working alone, but the food was served quickly. The curry had a slightly rough texture and wasn't too spicy, but it was quite flavorful and made me sweat a bit. The chicken pieces were plentiful and satisfying to eat. The chai, which could be added for 100 yen, had a strong cinnamon flavor and a nice sweetness to it, making it delicious.

The chicken curry was spicy with a strong kick of spices overpowering the natural flavors of the ingredients, but the chunks of chicken were tender and delicious. The minced meat and lotus root curry was mild, allowing the umami of the broth to shine through, and the texture of the lotus root paired well with it. Thank you for the meal.

The restaurant has a cafe-like atmosphere and does not give off a curry shop vibe. The interior is simple and lacks the typical curry shop feel. There are 4 types of curry available, which are usually ordered individually. After 6:00 pm on weekdays and on Saturdays and holidays, you can order a combination of curries. On this holiday, I ordered a single curry without combining. - Chicken Curry (850 yen): It looks like a Western-style curry, but when you taste it, you can also feel the spiciness of Indian curry. Among the 4 types, this is the spiciest curry, but the default spiciness is more on the mild side. However, the spiciness gradually builds up, so those who are not good with spicy food should be careful. The flavor is unique, with a noticeable tanginess. It's not extremely tangy, but it might be a taste that divides opinions. The chicken is tender and satisfying to eat. The portion size is generous, making it a fulfilling curry experience.

In the bustling area of Nishi-Temma in Osaka, known for its many delicious restaurants, I had lunch at one of the top curry spots, Mori Shouten. This place specializes in authentic Indian curry, and I ordered the Butter Chicken Curry for 950 yen. When it arrived, it looked quite simple, but that's okay since it's not a spicy curry. I took a bite... Hmm, it's not spicy at all. Checking the menu, I realized that the Butter Chicken Curry is labeled as mild, meaning no spiciness. Oops, my mistake. By the way, you can choose the level of spiciness for free, ranging from mild to very very hot in 5 levels. I continued eating, and even though it lacked spiciness, I could still enjoy the richness of the meat, the creaminess of the butter, and the curry-flavored bean sprouts and pickled onion slices on the side. Well, it was a unique experience in its own way. But next time, I'll definitely try the medium-spicy hot level.

I visited around 12 o'clock on Thursday. It wasn't crowded yet, so I was able to sit down right away. After some consideration, I decided to go with the classic chicken curry today! The dish arrived in about 10 minutes. The restaurant seemed a bit busy with only the owner, so please be patient. I took a bite right away, and the perfect balance of spices and the flavor of the chicken spread in my mouth. It looks like a Western-style curry, but surprisingly, there is a slightly soupy part, giving it a very fresh feel. The taste is very simple yet delicious, and I couldn't stop eating. I finished it in no time! Simple is actually the most difficult, but it was quite delicious! Thank you for the meal!!

"Curry WEST Top 100 Restaurants 2020" A cafe-like restaurant that opened in 2009, offering a mix of Indian and Japanese curry with a comforting taste that makes you want to eat it every day. Butter Chicken Curry ¥950 A creamy and mild chicken curry with yogurt and nuts. The curry includes large pieces of tandoori chicken, with curry-flavored bean sprouts as a tasty accent on the side.

I used it for a business trip to Osaka. It was my first visit, so I almost went into a different place. The appearance and interior of the shop didn't look like a typical curry restaurant, more like a cafe. The day I visited, the honest-looking master was handling everything alone. Since it was my first time, I ordered the safe option, chicken curry. It was served on a square plate in a few minutes. Surprisingly, it was a curry with low viscosity. I felt a moderate acidity, but it was a very easy-to-eat curry with no strong flavors. I didn't feel much spiciness at first, but as I ate, I started sweating. The rice was also suitable for Japanese people, so the threshold was low, and even beginners like me could eat it comfortably and safely. Thank you for the meal!

I visited around 1 pm on a weekend afternoon, so the restaurant was about half full at that time. Gradually, more customers arrived, and 15 minutes later, the curry was sold out. I ordered the chicken curry for 850 yen. The curry had a Western-style taste with a slight acidity, but it was very light and I felt like I could handle a large portion. The spiciness was not too strong. There was a lot of chicken in the curry, which made it satisfying to eat, and the side dish of bean sprouts was also good. The owner seemed busy handling everything alone, but they did it efficiently.

The chicken curry and mini drink set was a nostalgic taste of curry. The chicken was plentiful and delicious, with a nice mix of softness and tenderness. When mixed with the vegetables and sauce, it created a high-quality curry. The owner, an older gentleman, handled everything efficiently. The lassi was small but just the right amount to enjoy after the meal. I felt a bit addicted to this curry and will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal.

Visited before 1 pm on a regular day. In Nishi-Temma 4-chome, there are many great restaurants, not just curry shops. It's a wonderful town where you won't be disappointed even if you are turned away somewhere, as there are plenty of other options. The entrance has alcohol and partitions. The place is run by just one owner, with 2 tables for 3 people, 1 table for 4 people, and a counter with 5 seats. I managed to slip into an available seat. Despite being a one-man operation, the owner is efficient and the place is almost always full. Some customers linger at their seats even after finishing their meal. But if there's a line, they will probably make space. The customer base is around 60% female and 40% male. They offer chicken curry, butter chicken, daily special, minced meat and lotus root curry, and vegetable curry. You can get a large serving of rice for an extra 50 yen. They also have several types of achaar. Since I had work in the office in the afternoon and didn't want to sweat too much, I ordered the mild butter chicken curry for 950 yen. Despite being a one-man show, the owner didn't take too long to make each dish. I waited for about 5 minutes. The butter chicken curry that arrived was a mild orange color, with 4 large pieces of chicken. It was a bit disappointing that the core of the chicken was slightly cold, but they had done a great job of removing the bones after simmering the dish. The side dishes included bean sprouts with curry flavor, shredded daikon radish marinated in vinegar and cumin, and pickles with daikon and carrots. This place's standard is no spiciness, so it was very mild. However, I did break a sweat towards the end, but it should be fine for most people. The flavor of butter and the richness of the chicken, combined with the sides, made it disappear from my plate in no time. It's no wonder this place is listed in the top 100 restaurants. Not many places make you want to try everything on the menu, but this place has that "something" that draws you in.
