I had dinner at this restaurant. This time, I ordered the Autumn Salmon Meuniere and Seafood Umami Curry - Extra Spicy September Curry, Roast Chicken and Four Mushroom Mountain Umami Curry - Extra Spicy. For both dishes, I ordered the Medium portion of rice with toppings of pumpkin, eggplant, and okra. The seafood curry had scallops, squid, and shrimp, all of which were very tender. The roast chicken curry had incredibly tender chicken. The pumpkin topping was very sweet and highly recommended. At first, the curry sauce tasted sweet, but then the spiciness kicked in. I ordered both dishes extra spicy, but the seafood curry was spicier. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Garaku, a super famous soup curry restaurant, has opened a new branch specializing in roux curry that I've been curious about since it opened. I finally got the chance to visit. Their specialty is a rich and flavorful roux made with domestic clams and Japanese-style broth. I ordered the "Handmade Hamburg Curry" (1290 yen) with less rice and extra spicy. The turmeric rice with barley was slightly softer than my preference. The roux had a nice balance of spices and richness, and was delicious. It wasn't as spicy as I expected, maybe because the roux was slightly sweet. The juicy hamburger was also tasty. My companion had the "Three-Element Pork Loin Cutlet Curry" (1190 yen) with normal rice and medium spiciness. The pork cutlet was tender and delicious. I wasn't a big fan of Garaku's soup curry, but I really liked their roux curry. I'll definitely try the extra rice next time. Thank you, "Rou Garaku"!

Located on National Route 36, I ordered the chicken curry while my wife chose the vegetable curry. For the chicken curry, you can choose between shredded chicken or fried chicken. I opted for shredded chicken with the free option of extra spicy. The first bite had a hint of sweetness but left a spicy aftertaste on my tongue. The curry had a homemade feel and was delicious. I would have been a little happier if there were more vegetables in the small compote dish. "Colombo" offers a different kind of curry compared to the lighter ones. This spicy curry was also very tasty. I'm curious about the pork cutlet curry and will definitely come back again. ❤️

GARAKU's Ruka Curry restaurant is famous for its soup curry. It is located in Misono along National Route 36. I ordered the classic tender simmered chicken leg curry and the 7-color vegetable curry with a topping of pork cutlet. The curry sauce has a rich and delicious flavor.

Visited for the first time in June 2023, trying out the 7th dish of the month. On this day, I attended the monthly "Antique Market" held at the Toyohira Shrine. I have been interested in antiques since last year and even impulsively bought an antique chest of drawers. Despite needing to declutter, I keep acquiring antique dishes and pottery from the pottery market. Today, I purchased a "pigeon hot sake." I plan to warm it over charcoal during the garage party. After visiting the Toyohira Shrine, I stopped by this place. Originally starting as a soup curry restaurant called "Soup Curry GALAKU," they now have branches in Tomamu, Wakkanai, Nakano, Hachioji, and even in Thailand. This place seems to specialize in roux curry. I ordered the "Pork Cutlet Curry" for 1,190 yen, opting for the spicy version, but it wasn't too spicy. The pork cutlet was crispy, and the curry had a classic Western flavor. The pickled red cabbage and carrots were not too sour. I also tried the "Monthly Butter Chicken Curry" for 990 yen, which had a mild and buttery taste without much spiciness. Western-style curry is indeed easy to eat. I'll have to try their soup curry next time.

I had to come to Misono suddenly for some urgent business, and it ended up lasting until the afternoon, so I decided to have lunch in Misono. I was thinking of going to an Indian-Nepalese curry restaurant, but then I remembered that Garaku's roux curry was available, so I decided to go there instead. The restaurant is located along the national highway, so it is convenient to take a bus from the city towards Fukuzumi. I arrived close to 1:30 pm. There were about 3 groups of customers, but I was seated at a table. I looked at the menu. They also have chicken leg in the roux. I ordered the safe option of tender chicken leg curry with spicy level and medium rice. Even after the lunch peak time, a few customers continued to arrive. It was brought to me in about 5 minutes. The roux curry was garnished with cream. I tried the chicken. It was tender and flavorful. However, I think chicken leg would be better suited for soup curry. The roux has a hint of dashi flavor and spice. It gradually gets hotter. The rice was firm with mixed grains. It also came with achar. Overall, it was delicious, but I think chicken leg might have been better suited for soup curry, and katsu curry might have been the right choice.

Visited at 12:30 on June 12, 2023. "Ruuuuu curry GARAKU" is a curry shop that serves "Ruu curry" developed by the popular soup curry restaurant "GARAKU". The Ruu curry is made with a secret spice blend cultivated from soup curry, as well as domestic clams and Japanese-style broth. Today, I ordered the "Handmade Hamburger Curry ¥1,290" with "Large Rice ¥110" and "Extra Curry Sauce ¥220". I requested the spiciness level to be extra hot for free. The handmade hamburger is quite delicious, made with a blend of Hokkaido beef and Shari barley pork. The curry sauce initially doesn't feel spicy, but the heat gradually builds up as you eat, with a Japanese-style broth aftertaste. The portion size is unclear, but the Large Rice has a decent amount, while the Extra Curry Sauce is more than expected, exceeding the amount of rice. I ran out of rice halfway through the curry, so I ordered an "Extra Large Rice ¥220". The pricing may be a bit high, affecting the cost performance slightly, but it's a unique curry that you can't find elsewhere. Taste preferences may vary, but overall, it was a pretty delicious curry. Thank you for the meal.

Toyohira Ward, Misono area. Along Route 36, there is parking space for 4 cars. The interior of the restaurant is not very spacious but it is clean and stylish. It is a wonderful place for a date. They do not serve soup curry. The menu includes a Soft Braised Chicken Leg Curry (990 yen) with a choice of spiciness level (the highest level is free) and medium rice. The Plain Lassi is also available. The curry sauce is made with clams and Japanese dashi broth, with a subtle sweetness and moderate spiciness. It has a hint of spiciness but not overpowering, somewhat similar to European-style curry. Although it has richness and depth of flavor, in Toyohira Ward where there are many famous curry restaurants, this place has yet to stand out. The chicken is tender and flavorful. The pickles are ordinary without much spiciness. The Plain Lassi is delicious. Overall, it is a good place for curry lovers and drinkers. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

This was my first visit to this restaurant. I had been curious about it for a while, so I decided to stop by for lunch. I went on a Saturday around 2 pm and there were about 4 groups of customers. I ordered the hand-kneaded hamburger curry for 1290 yen, medium spicy, with no toppings. It was ready in about 10 minutes and it was delicious!

The curry was delicious, but the service was a bit awkward. The restaurant seems to be fairly new, so maybe they're still getting the hang of things? The staff's voices are hard to hear, so having a bell or buzzer would be helpful. It's embarrassing to have to call out multiple times. Overall, trying the curry at Galak-san was a good experience!

☆LP☆ Galac is famous in Sapporo. I happened to see another branch along the national highway, so I decided to visit on a holiday afternoon. The parking lot in front of the store can fit about 4 cars. We had some errands to run, so we ended up taking 2 parking spaces, sorry about that. We waited outside for a few minutes while they cleared a spot. It's tough waiting outside when the weather is bad. The restaurant isn't very big, so it's understandable. After about 5 minutes, a staff member called us in. You can also wait inside your car if you prefer. We sat at a table, and there was a monthly special menu available, but we chose the tonkatsu curry with cheese topping for KG, and the hamburger curry with a unique pumpkin croquette topping for LP. Oh, and we both added fried broccoli as a topping. Oh my, the pumpkin was bigger than expected! It had a sweet taste that I really liked. As for the curry, it was... hmm, kind of light. It didn't have that stewed flavor, and I tried to remember the taste of the main store's curry. The hamburger seemed slightly undercooked. Maybe it needed a bit more time on the grill? The tonkatsu curry didn't have any outstanding features. The restaurant was full, but unfortunately, I didn't feel like I needed to come back for this curry. Thank you for the meal.

I visited a restaurant that is known for its soup curry, but this time they opened a new shop specializing in roux curry. I ordered the pork loin cutlet curry. The cutlet was crispy and juicy, with a strong meaty flavor. The curry was spicy and had a rich, aromatic taste. However, I felt like the portion was smaller than it looked. The interior of the restaurant was stylish and had a calm atmosphere, making it a relaxing space even for solo diners. The staff were polite and explained the ordering process and menu clearly. I would like to visit again if I have the chance.

I had been curious about the Lukaree restaurant that had opened recently, so I decided to give it a try. They specialize in soup curry, and I ordered the curry with fried pork belly. I also added cheese on top, which melted and added a nice touch. The fried pork belly was tender and unique. However, I found the curry itself to be just average. I was hoping for more distinctive flavors, so I didn't feel like I would want to come back for more.

Before my appointment, I had lunch at the Galacu Rucurry curry shop that I was curious about. I ordered the Zangi curry with toppings of eggplant and okra. The photo shows a young person's Zangi curry with a chicken leg topping, which looks delicious. #lunch #Sapporo #Hokkaido is great #hokkaidolove #gourmet #EnoLog

Popular Sapporo soup curry restaurant "GARAK" has a new concept. Visited at 12:45 on a weekday with only 2 customers ahead. The interior has a stylish cafe-like atmosphere with counter and table seating. Ordered verbally: "Fried Chicken Curry (1090 yen), extra spicy, normal rice." It arrived in about 5 minutes. The curry has a rich flavor and is quite delicious, just the right level of spiciness for me, although I could have handled a bit more heat. Note that anything spicier than this (extra spicy) incurs an additional charge for green pickled pepper and habanero sauce. The rice is a turmeric-based mixed grain, served with achar and lemon. The portion of rice may be slightly small, maybe around 180-200g. The chicken is crispy and well-fried, meeting expectations. The cost-performance ratio may feel slightly high, but considering the market price for soup curry, it seems reasonable. Overall, it's a place where I would like to revisit for the curry I enjoy.

This is the fourth stop on the Sapporo Curry Tour, at a restaurant called Gurakusan's Loo Curry. I have been interested in this place since it opened, so I planned this tour specifically to eat curry here. We took a taxi from Sapporo Station and arrived around 5:50 PM. There were no other customers at the time. We were asked to disinfect our hands and had our temperature checked by the staff. I ordered the Hand-Kneaded Hamburger Curry for 1,290 yen with extra spiciness, and added the 4 kinds of melted cheese sauce for 220 yen. The curry rice arrived after a 13-minute wait, followed by the cheese sauce a minute later, which was a bit disappointing. The dish consisted of plenty of curry sauce and a small amount of yellow rice, with carrot salad, pickled purple onions, and lemon on the side. The hand-kneaded hamburger was placed on top of the rice and covered with curry sauce. After adding the cheese sauce, the curry had cooled slightly. The curry sauce had a distinctive sweetness, but the spiciness did not harmonize well with it. I recommend ordering it less spicy next time. The spices, herbs, and dashi used in the curry included coriander, cumin, turmeric, cassia, basil, chili powder, garam masala, cayenne pepper, chili, star anise, cloves, sansho pepper, cardamom, white pepper, mustard seeds, black pepper, bay leaf, konbu seaweed, hanakatsuo (dried bonito flakes), and domestic clams. The clam was noticeable, but the other dashi ingredients were hard to discern. The hamburger was a bit small and lacking in juiciness, but the cheese sauce was delicious and complemented the curry well. The pickled purple onions were good, but the carrot salad was underwhelming. Overall, I thought the curry was tasty, but it didn't quite meet my expectations. If I visit again, I would like to try the same dish with medium spiciness. Thank you for the meal.

Weekend stroll series. As usual, when my husband and I go out for lunch, we tend to go for curry. This time, we visited "Ruuuuu Curry GARAKU," which recently opened in Misono. Located along Route 36, the restaurant has a parking lot. The interior is stylish and cafe-like. We ordered the limited homemade pork cutlet curry and the tender stewed chicken curry, both spicy. We chose medium rice, and topped the chicken curry with crispy fried broccoli. The Japanese-style broth was not too strong, perhaps because of the flavorful spices. The curry had a rich flavor with a subtle sweetness, making it easy to eat. The pork cutlet was crispy on the outside but a bit overcooked and tough inside, so it might have been better without it. It would be nice if they offered normal pork topping instead. The chicken was so tender that it could be easily shredded with a spoon. The topping was similar to the one used in soup curry at GARAKU. The deep-fried broccoli, a common topping in soup curry, was also a good addition to the roux curry. GARAKU is known for its delicious zangi, so I'll try the zangi curry next time. While soup curry tends to be spicy, I think the curry here tastes better with less spiciness. (Maybe because my tolerance for spiciness has decreased recently? haha) Thank you for the meal!

The fact that a soup curry restaurant offers a unique dish like "ルーカレー" on their menu is impressive enough, but opening an independent store is even more remarkable. Located along National Route 36 in the beautiful Sonoda district, this roadside shop has a simple yet stylish appearance with parking space for about four cars in front. Despite a few people waiting outside in the cold, I decided to line up. After being handed the menu and waiting outside for about 10 minutes, I finally entered the warm interior of the restaurant. The layout featured a counter on the left side and booth seating, giving off a modern cafe vibe. I already knew what I wanted from the menu outside, so I quickly ordered the "Tender Braised Chicken Leg Curry (990 yen, tax included)" with medium rice and just below the highest level of spiciness. The curry arrived in about 10 minutes, served by a friendly male staff member. The dish was visually appealing with a chicken leg laid out horizontally, turmeric rice in yellow, brown curry sauce, orange and purple pickles, and a lemon on the side. The colorful presentation was lovely, but I couldn't help but think about people who put lemon on everything before tasting it. The rice, a blend of five grains, was cooked to a nice texture, and the chicken was tender and easily eaten with a spoon. The balance of fat between the skin and meat, along with the well-prepared meat itself, was delicious. The curry had a rich European-style flavor, based on a dense plant extract with a perfect combination of vegetable and fruit sweetness and umami. The gradual spiciness paired well with the turmeric rice, creating a refined taste typical of a specialty curry shop. This might be a new frontier for GARAKU - I wonder what they have in store next. Overall, it was a delightful meal.

It's been a while since I visited Sapporo! I was planning to have GARAKU's soup curry for lunch, but I heard that a new store specializing in roux curry opened in July. A GARAKU store dedicated to roux? Intrigued, I decided to check it out. GARAKU's stores always have stylish interiors that lift your mood. The new store has a cozy atmosphere with lots of wood and indoor plants. So stylish! This time, I ordered the classic slow-cooked chicken leg curry with cheese topping. Unlike soup curry, this curry doesn't have a lot of vegetable toppings, but when I tried it, I found the roux to be very fruity and flavorful, with a rich taste. The chicken leg was delicious as always, so tender! The staff mentioned that they use plenty of vegetables and put a lot of effort into making the roux. The spiciness is addictive, with 9 levels of heat available for free. The new store also uses Japanese dashi and domestic clams as a hidden flavor. With the spices on the table and the lemon provided for flavor variation, the refreshing lemon complements the rich roux perfectly! I finished it in no time. Since there's plenty of roux, I feel like I could easily handle a large portion of rice next time. I'll come back for the braised pork cutlet next time! Thank you for the delicious meal.

On this day off, I visited Luca Curry Galac and had the 7-color vegetable curry (for my wife) and the three-layer pork loin cutlet curry with broccoli topping (for myself). The curry at Luca Curry is modern and delicious.
