Curry Set for 1,000 yen → 800 yen (tax included) *Comes with a Kyoto pickles assortment, homemade pickles assortment, and mint mochi Today, I was walking without a plan, wondering where to have lunch, and by chance, I stumbled upon "Curry and Sakana Hide" ( ´∀｀ )b. And it turns out today is their opening day - what a coincidence! The restaurant is tucked away in an alley, truly a hidden gem! Even though it's not a prominent location, the yellow noren curtain and yellow door make it stand out quite a bit (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و. Inside, there are 6 counter seats and two tables for 4 people in the back, more like 4 tables for 2 people combined. Since I was dining alone, I chose to sit at the counter. The lunch menu only offers curry, but it's only available as a set... how interesting! (・・? You get a Kyoto pickles assortment, homemade pickles assortment, and mint mochi with your mealฅ^ω^ฅ. And now, for a limited time, the price is reduced from the regular 1,000 yen to 800 yen (tax included)!＼(*>▽<) They offer a free extra serving of rice, so I asked for a large portion, and it turned out to be quite filling. The curry is pleasantly ordinary, like something you would eat at home, with a mild level of spiciness and tender beef tendon included. The Kyoto pickles assortment includes mizuna, daikon, and Chinese cabbage, all of which are delicious (´౿`). The homemade pickles assortment consists of onions, bell peppers, and cabbage, which leave a refreshing taste in your mouth (-◡-ॢ)♡. You could also try leaving a bit of rice and enjoying it with these pickles, which I think would be a good ideaლ(´ڡ`ლ). For dessert, I had the mint mochi, but since I'm not a big fan of mint, it was just okay for me. If you like mint, you might find it delicious though ( ᵕ̤ૢᴗᵕ̤ૢ ). I also took a look at the evening izakaya menu, and it seems quite intriguing, so I might be interested in coming back for that in the future (人´3`)⌒♡. Thank you for the meal.

The pickles were delicious. The curry was rich and when eaten together with the pickles, it was just the right balance. Knowing that the owner has a pickle shop background, it's no wonder the pickles were so tasty.

This shop, which was set up in a market-like place, seemed like a curry izakaya? I'm not quite sure, but they were selling curry roux for 540 yen including tax. However, because it was past 7 p.m., it was half price. It's a bit pricey at 540 yen, but at 270 yen, it suddenly feels like a great deal. It was around medium spiciness. The umami flavor was well blended. It seemed like they added some spices to the Japanese-style curry. It was simply delicious.
