On March 21, 2018, I visited Takupoku for the first time after seeing a review by Momitaro. The exterior of the restaurant, with its striking yellow walls, was just as described. The owner's hobbies of photography, cats, and music were evident in the decor. I ordered the curry cutlet set as recommended, and enjoyed the thick and flavorful curry sauce. The curry had been simmered for a long time, and the thinly sliced pork added a nice touch. The cutlet was crispy and well-seasoned, and the portion of rice was generous. Overall, it was a unique and satisfying curry experience. I look forward to returning to try more items on the menu. Thank you, Momitaro, for the valuable recommendation!

On a certain weekday, I visited a cafe located in Takuhoku, Kita-ku, where I had bookmarked for lunch. The parking lot in front of the store can accommodate about 3-4 cars in winter. The exterior is a striking yellowish color. Inside, the cafe has a typical size with a historical feel, adorned with many lovely photos on the walls, indicating a possible interest in photography. The seating consists of small and large tables only. Rock music plays in the background. Instead of the typical napoletana, I was drawn to the "Hamburger Curry (720 yen)" from the menu photos. The coffee prices are reasonable, and you can adjust the strength. The menu covers a variety of lunch items, curry, spaghetti, bread, pizza, and a few desserts. The Hamburger Curry arrived, looking like a dam curry, and was quite voluminous. The curry was original, thick, with a high viscosity, and had a hint of a Pakistani curry flavor. The hamburger, around 200g, seemed like it was prepared and cooked upon ordering, giving it a homemade feel that I personally enjoyed. I heard the sound of coffee beans being ground for another customer's order, so I decided to try the most bitter Italian coffee (set 200 yen) after the meal. The coffee was served in an elegant cup, very hot, and had a strong bitterness and depth of flavor. I cannot guarantee, but this Hamburger Curry might be a hit for some people. Thank you for the meal.

On August 15th (Saturday) at 4:30 PM, on the way back from visiting the grave during the Bon festival, I searched on Tabelog for a place to have a coffee break. There were a few options, but this place was open despite many places being closed for the Bon festival. There seems to be parking space for about 5 cars in front of the store. When I entered the store, there were two staff members who greeted me. I sat at a table by the window. I was surprised by the many items on the menu. Although it said lunch set, it was available at any time! There were also other food options available. Since I had already had lunch, I decided to just have a coffee. The prices were all reasonable. As a food blogger, I wanted something with a bit more impact, so I ordered a cappuccino and chai. After waiting for about 10 minutes, the chai arrived first followed by the cappuccino. Having a warm drink in the summer was comforting. The store is closed on Sundays and has been open for 26 years. I would like to come back next time to try their food. Thank you for the meal.
