I was searching for "Curry (Other)" in Sapporo and came across this restaurant. "Oh, it's rare to find a place that serves Dal Bhat." That's right. There are many Indian and Nepalese curry restaurants in Sapporo, but surprisingly few that offer Dal Bhat, a Nepalese set meal. As far as I know, there's only one place in Sapporo that serves it, and that's [Mintaru]. I visited on a weekday for lunch, but found out that the map location on Tabelog was wrong (now corrected) and that the restaurant is only open on Friday and Saturday evenings. According to their Facebook page, the owner is Nepalese, and they mentioned that they sometimes sell out due to high customer numbers, so I made a reservation for my visit. I arrived 30 minutes early and first checked the parking situation. There is parking space in front of the entrance and next to the restaurant, but there were no parking instructions posted, so I parked at a nearby coin parking lot and waited at the entrance. The owner appeared and let me in. A Japanese lady brought me the menu and explained it to me. The menu is very simple, with two types of Dal Bhat dinners, a kids set, and a la carte items. I chose the Lamb Tihar Plate from the Dal Bhat dinners. I like chicken in soup curry, but I prefer mutton or lamb in Indian and Nepalese curry. The Lamb Tihar Plate that came out looked delicious. The lady asked if I had eaten Dal Bhat before, and I said yes. She explained it to first-time eaters, but for someone like me who's used to South Indian curry, it's basically mixing and eating. I started by breaking the papad into pieces and eating it. The mild taste of the Dal is like Nepalese miso soup. The Lamb Tarkari has a subtle spice that slowly spreads in your mouth. I poured all the Dal on the rice, took a bite, added the Tarkari, and savored it. "Oh, it's delicious!" It's not a strong spice like in North Indian or Nepalese curry, but a gentle spice like in South Indian curry. The slightly salty Achar goes well with the rice, and the tender lamb was really delicious. My wife mixed all the ingredients on the plate and finished every grain of rice. The Momos, Nepalese dumplings, had a chewy skin and a delicious filling. I used to like the soft-skinned dumplings from a certain chain restaurant, but I prefer dumplings with firm skin. The price may seem a bit high, but getting to enjoy authentic Dal Bhat is worth it. We were bid farewell by the couple as we left the restaurant. Thank you for the meal.
