This month's fourth food walk was at "Oufu Kariidomon" where they offer European-style beef tongue curry with colorful vegetables as toppings. They use beef tongue sourced from the hometown of beef tongue, Sendai, to make their European-style curry and soup curry. The restaurant has only L-shaped counter seats. The basic curry options include European-style beef tongue curry, beef tongue soup curry, European-style lamb curry, hormone curry, and soup curry, and Pakistani curry. I chose the European-style beef tongue curry. Toppings include options like doubling the amount of beef tongue and 12 other choices, including Zangi curry in collaboration with the popular bar Las Vegas. The level of spiciness ranges from mild, medium, spicy, to very spicy. I chose the medium level. Rice options include regular (200g), large (300g), and extra large (400g). I chose the large size. The curry arrived in less than 10 minutes after ordering, handed over the counter, with plenty of deep-fried colorful vegetables on top of the roux. Underneath were two large slices of beef tongue. The roux had a sweet onion flavor and a rich taste of beef tongue. The medium level of spiciness might be mild for those who enjoy spicy food. The beef tongue was well-cooked and tender. The rice was barley rice with fried onions on top. The colorful vegetables included eggplant, bell pepper, carrot, daikon radish, pumpkin, cabbage, broccoli, paprika, cherry tomato, lotus root, potato, sweet potato, and enoki mushrooms, all fried to perfection. They also provide Fukujinzuke on the table. There are parking spaces for three cars behind the restaurant, but I used a nearby coin parking lot.
