We arrived at the restaurant around 3 pm with four people. It may be difficult to visit for dinner as they have continuous service until 7 pm, but it is a great place to visit between 3 pm and 5 pm. The kouya chicken, which is recommended by the restaurant, has a crispy surface but tender meat, and the soup has just the right amount of spices, making it a classic soup curry. Personally, I love that the rice comes with a lemon. This is my favorite soup curry restaurant in Asahikawa, so I definitely plan to visit again.

I visited "Koya" on February 24th. It was my second visit, with the first one being over 10 years ago. I went with my daughter for lunch at 1:20 PM. When we arrived, the parking lot was full, even on a weekday. There were birch firewood stacked by the entrance. Inside, they had changed to a ticket vending machine system for ordering. The menu had 11 types of soup curry and 4 types of toppings, some of which were hard to imagine. I wished they had at least a menu with photos. I was unsure what "Vegeta" meant, but I assumed it was for vegetables. I ordered the following items: - Bone-in chicken & Vegeta for 1300 yen - Tender pork belly & Vegeta for 1450 yen There were no other customers when we arrived, so we chose a table ourselves. The owner brought us water and wet towels, and took our order. The ordering process was written on the table, so we could have secured a table first and then bought the food tickets. The soup curry options were predetermined by the vending machine, and you could choose the spiciness level from 0 to 10 and the rice size (S, M, L). I ordered: - Bone-in chicken & Vegeta with spiciness level 6 (between medium and hot) and rice size M - Tender pork belly & Vegeta with spiciness level 3 (normal) and rice size M The food was served in about 6 minutes. The cutlery provided was of good quality, with a spoon, fork, and chopsticks. The main chicken in the bone-in chicken dish was tender and easily fell apart. The vegetables were all deep-fried, with a variety of root vegetables. The soup was light but had a hint of spice that I couldn't quite identify. The rice was a mix of black rice, millet, sesame, and adzuki beans, which was just right. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

I had soup curry the other day after a long time, and it was delicious. It made me crave for it again. It's strange how I can go without it for a long time, but once I have it, I immediately want more. I knew there was a restaurant on Kagurazaka's Platanus Street. I had passed by it many times, so I knew it was there for a while. But for some reason, I never felt like going in. I finally made my first visit this time. When I entered, I saw the menu posted at the back. I had to choose my order right away, not after sitting down and settling in. I saw something called "Vegeta" on the menu. It made me think of Namek. Later, I found out what "Vegeta" was. This place operates on a food ticket system, so you have to choose your order as soon as you enter. I struggled a bit with finding the menu items on the buttons, typical for an older guy like me. After sitting down, I noticed the menu written on a blackboard. The prices seemed a bit high, especially for the Soft Pork Belly & Vegeta at 1450 yen. I chose the spice level 7, but it turned out to be milder than I expected. The soup curry was surprisingly sweet, especially when eaten with the mixed grain rice. I added some chili pepper to spice it up. The veggies were cut into smaller pieces, which I liked, but they were a bit hard. The size of the portion was good, and the soup curry was tasty overall. I also tried the KOUYA Chicken & Vegeta, which was quite pricey at 1600 yen. The chicken was served separately on the plate and was delicious. The dish also included Shiretoko Chicken, although it wasn't clearly labeled as such. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

Acquaintance's recommendation. This restaurant operates on a food ticket system where you order the level of spiciness after being seated. During lunchtime, it was packed with couples and older ladies. The bone-in chicken and vegetables with level 7 spiciness soup had a refreshing herb-spice aroma. A hint of sweetness was detected in the delicious spiciness. Sweat was pouring, and the strong napkin was appreciated. The meat was tender and the vegetables were tasty. It was a curry that lived up to its popularity with a satisfyingly refreshing taste.

KOUYA Chicken & Vegeta for 1600 yen. Today's lunch was at Kouya. I bought a meal ticket at the ticket machine and then went to the counter. I chose level 7 spiciness and 300g of rice, and waited. They also provided shrimp oil for free. It took about 10 minutes for my order to be ready. Level 7 spiciness was quite mild, almost sweet. The soup was light with a hint of acidity. Surprisingly, I enjoyed the taste of the curry soup. The rice was topped with a generous portion of chicken. The chicken was tender and spicy, very delicious. The vegetables included potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, eggplant, pumpkin, zucchini, and were just the right amount. The lemon added a nice touch and I finished the meal feeling satisfied.

After drinking too much the day before, I always go for soup curry without hesitation. Ramai is a safe choice, but maybe it's time to try somewhere different since I'm in Asahikawa. So, I decided to visit this restaurant that I remember was delicious when I came here about five years ago. It was midday, but luckily I was seated right away. The menu was, of course, the Super Vegeta! I need to make up for my lack of vegetables these past few days. I chose level 7 spiciness (extra hot) and added garlic oil. It was crowded, but I got my curry in about 15 minutes. There was a thin layer of oil on top of the soup...maybe it was garlic oil? I took a bite. Huh? It's lukewarm! That's not good. Most things covered in oil are usually piping hot... I mixed it up from the bottom and managed to get it slightly warmer... And it wasn't spicy at all, and I couldn't taste the garlic! I asked the staff about the garlic, and they said they added it. They gave me a bottle of oil to add more, but even after adding more, there was still no garlic flavor. But adding more just made it even oilier. I decided to give up. The curry had lots of vegetables, but they were all fried. The soup was oily, the ingredients were oily. It was an oil attack! Overall, it was okay.

This is one of the restaurants I have always wanted to visit. Finally, my wish came true and I visited it on a weekday just before noon. As it was shortly after opening, there were few customers. I sat at a booth instead of the counter, and the chairs sank a lot, giving me a surprise. I ordered the safe option of bone-in chicken & vegetables as it was my first time there. After about 10 minutes, the curry arrived. The presence of a large chicken leg floating in the curry was impressive. The rice had a mix of other grains, and they recommended squeezing lemon on it. I squeezed it thoroughly. The soup was light and easy to drink, with a mild temperature suitable for those with sensitive tongues. The unique sweetness in the aftertaste seemed to be a characteristic of this restaurant. The chicken was tender and fell apart easily. The vegetables included bell peppers and carrots, among others, providing a substantial portion. Overall, the meal was warm, light, and easy to eat, allowing me to enjoy it quickly. As I was eating, it turned noon, and more customers started coming in. It's really popular, isn't it? Next time, I'd like to try the pork belly. Thank you for the delicious soup curry!

Today, I got the Chicken and Veggie Curry for 1100 yen for takeout. I went at 11 o'clock, so I had to wait a bit, but I was able to buy it right away. The curry has lots of vegetables in it. Personally, I thought the pumpkin was delicious. The chicken was tender and melted in my mouth.

The shop has a monochrome interior with a stylish cafe-like atmosphere. The menu is based on vegetables, with the option to add extras. You can choose the spiciness level, rice portion, and flavored oil. I ordered the "Big Sausage & Vegeta" (1,100 yen tax included) with spiciness level 10 (very spicy), rice size M (250g), and shrimp oil. I also ordered the "Strawberry Lassi" (270 yen when ordered with a meal). The Big Sausage & Vegeta had a large sausage that was crispy and delicious, with a variety of vegetables like eggplant, lotus root, bell pepper, carrot, pumpkin, asparagus, potatoes, and boiled eggs. The soup was spicy but light, with a subtle sweetness and aroma of shrimp oil. The multigrain rice went well with the soup, and the Strawberry Lassi was mildly sweet and easy to drink. Overall, it was a satisfying meal with rich flavors.

I went out for lunch after a long time and had soup curry. The restaurant was called "Soup Kari," and I noticed that they had a calendar on the wall with names like "Kama Iron" and "Fish Center," which made me wonder if they were related. I ordered the "Big Sausage & Vegeta" for 1100 yen, which came with rice and had a sausage, pumpkin, eggplant, green pepper, asparagus, half a boiled egg, lotus root, potato, and carrot as ingredients. The sausage was juicy and delicious, and the soup had a sweet taste with a fruity acidity, maybe due to the addition of bay leaf. I ordered the spiciness level 7, but it was not enough for me, so I added some chili powder from the table. The rice was mixed grain and had a nice texture, topped with fried parsley. Overall, I think the soup could be less sweet and more spicy for my taste. My companion found the spiciness level 5 to be too mild, making the soup taste a bit bland.

When I felt like having soup curry, I was happy to find a place nearby. However, I felt like having it around 3 pm, but the restaurant only opens at 5 pm, so I had to wait for about 2 hours at home before visiting. It is located near the Kagurazaka intersection. The interior of the restaurant has a lovely wood stove, creating a great atmosphere. Outside, there are logs that will probably be used during winter. We ordered the popular "Bone-in Chicken & Vegeta" No. 7, Rice L, and Garlic Oil. My companion ordered the "Super Vegeta" No. 10, and another person ordered the "Tender Pork Belly & Vegeta" No. 3. The chicken in the Bone-in Chicken & Vegeta dish was so tender that the meat could be easily removed with a spoon, and the vegetables were lightly fried and soft. The rice here is mixed grain rice, making it very healthy. Squeezing lemon and dipping it in the curry enhances the spicy aroma and flavor, making it incredibly delicious. Even though there were three of us, we were so engrossed in eating that we hardly talked. I recommend adding the "Burdock Tempura" topping. It was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The Rice L was gone in no time when eaten with the curry. This time, we chose level 7 spiciness, but if you like it hotter, level 10 would be good. I love roux curry, but there are moments when I also appreciate Hokkaido soup curry.

It's been a while since I visited. I ordered the Super Vegeta curry, which cost around 1100 yen. It's a curry made only of vegetables, with extra vegetables added. Despite being all vegetables, it's very satisfying. There are different levels of rice, and I ordered the free extra-large option. The healthy rice is made with five grains. I would like to visit this restaurant again.

I usually prefer basic curry over soup curry, but I had been wanting to try this place for a while now. I arrived around 11:30 and saw a sign on the door saying "preparing". I hesitated to enter, thinking it might just be a mix-up with the sign. Eventually, the sign changed to "open" and I went in. The counter seats were low, just as rumored. The interior was stylish with a black color scheme. I felt a bit out of place as an older man dining alone, but the seating was comfortable aside from the low chairs. I ordered bone-in chicken & vegetable curry with a spice level of 5. I debated between pork belly and chicken, but chicken won today. The spice level was decent at 5, but I think I could handle a bit more heat next time, maybe 6-7. Needless to say, the chicken curry was amazing. The chicken was tender and easy to eat with just a spoon. The vegetables were also easy to eat, with carrots being the standout. The mixed grain rice was delicious and had a perfect texture. A lemon was provided for flavor variation, and it was surprisingly good with the rice. Overall, it was a fantastic meal. I wanted to add a pork cutlet topping, but realized too late, after I had already eaten half of the curry.

First visit... not really, but a few years ago I went a couple of times... this time is a long-awaited return♪*ﾟ Lately, I've been a little curious about soup curry (*˘ ˘*) It suddenly dawned on me that I hadn't been there since I got my smartphone... My memory is fading, but I remember that I wasn't very interested in soup curry to begin with... except for the not-so-great customer service, I don't remember much, just a vague memory of it being okay? Haha. [Bone-in Chicken & Vegeta] ♬ 1080 yen, spice level 6. Soup curry tends to take a bit of time to be served, but I've learned that recently, so I'm okay with waiting patiently (* ॑꒳ ॑* ) It didn't feel like a long wait at all when it arrived! Looks delicious (・∀・)♪ I'm excited even before tasting it, the presentation is really appealing to me! The aroma is nice too, making me a bit restless♡ "Feel free to squeeze lemon over the rice" Sure thing♪♪ Lemon goes well with curry, I've learned that recently and it makes me happy♬ The bone-in chicken is so tender that it easily falls off the bone, simmered perfectly. It's not lacking in flavor and tastes great when soaked in the soup (๑´ڡ`๑)♡ The vegetables, though simply fried, are just the right tenderness. I always used to tilt my head at the fried vegetables in soup curry... they're hard to eat. The soup in Hanaya-san's soup curry has a complex depth of flavor, a hint of sweetness from the vegetables maybe? The saltiness is just right, and squeezing lemon into the soup turned out to be a perfect match. I ended up finishing the whole bowl, which is a rare feat for me... even I was surprised ( *^艸^) It was truly delicious...♪*ﾟThank you for the meal~(*˘︶˘*).｡.:*♡ Oh, one more thing, a side note... the chairs at the counter are too low (laughs) I need to sit up straight... haha haha

Recently, I've been really into soup curry and roux curry again. Yesterday, I had it at "Koya", a soup curry restaurant. It's located at 5-6 Kaguraoka, Asahikawa City. They are open from 11:00 to 15:00 and 17:00 to 20:30, closed on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays and Wednesdays. They have parking and it's non-smoking. There were 3 groups of customers when I arrived, all men, which was unusual. I entered just 10 minutes before the last order at 19:50 and was asked if I was okay with the closing time of 20:00. The menu remained the same as before. I always order the "Man Curry" here. This time, I tried the Soft Pork Belly & Vegeta for 1180 yen with free garlic oil topping, spiciness level 10, and large rice. The curry soup had a slightly reddish color and was on the watery side. I could taste the tomato flavor quite well, with a hint of sweetness. The fried vegetables were delicious and went well with the soup. The pork belly was tender and had a good texture. It was my first time trying something other than the Man Curry here, and I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty it was. The basic curry soup had a flavor that I really liked.

■Italian-style Soup Curry? Today I had work in Asahikawa. The local salesperson, who knows I love curry, took me to this place. It's right near Asahikawa Medical University, but with my poor sense of direction, I would never be able to find it on my own... (laughs) White walls, black chairs...the interior is chic and clean. I ordered the chicken, which is a classic choice for me at new restaurants. Bone-in Chicken Vegeta 1080 yen Spiciness level 10 (out of 10) Extra rice (free) The soup, with basil floating on top, has a slight thickness to it. After taking a sip, I thought, "Wow!" The perfect balance of the sweetness of sautéed onions, the light acidity of tomatoes, the clean umami of beef bones (not chicken bones as I originally thought), and the soft sweetness of the vegetable soup. The balance of these flavors is excellent, creating an indescribable deliciousness. It's different from any other restaurant...it has a taste reminiscent of bouillon...could this be an Italian touch? The chicken is not too tough or too soft, with a subtle herbal flavor that's distinctly Italian. The eggplant is juicy and tender, the carrots melt in your mouth, the bell peppers are crisp and fragrant, the asparagus has a satisfying crunch and aroma, and the sweet potatoes are as sweet as candy. Each vegetable asserts itself as if saying, "I am the star of this dish." Unexpectedly delicious curry. The rice is topped with fried parsley and lightly seasoned, showing attention to detail. When the staff suggested squeezing lemon over the rice, I tried it immediately. Wow! The soup takes on a mellow flavor. This is also delicious. This soup curry is quite impressive. Would it be rude to say it was unexpectedly good? (laughs) When I asked the person who seemed to be the owner, it turns out the chef is indeed from Italy. Just as I suspected! It was very delicious. Thank you for the meal! ◆For more soup curry restaurant recommendations, click here: https://www.ok-yo4.com/curry *Currently, I am reposting all articles on my blog due to a server migration.

If you feel like eating soup curry, I recommend going to this restaurant. At first, I wasn't sure about soup curry, but when I tried it, I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was! It's filling too, especially with all the vegetables in some of the menu items. I'm a meat lover, so I went with the pork, but all the options are great! The curry has a nice kick of spices that really make you feel like you're eating curry. The restaurant is also stylish, so it's a good spot for a girls' night out.
