Japanese Curry – INDIAN CURRY
I’d like to introduce some of my favorite curry shops.
The first one I’d like to introduce is Indian Curry. [https://www.indiancurry.jp]
Recently, they have opened shops in Tokyo, but this curry shop is mainly based in Osaka area.
Unlike the name of the shop, it is a typical Japanese-style curry (commonly known as curry rice).
It’s hard to explain in English, but the Japanese notation is not “Indian curry”, but “Indean curry” which cannot be converted to katakana as a whole.
Personally, it would be nice if it continued to remain as it was in the old days, like the Dai Nagoya Builging(Building) in front of Nagoya Station.
By the way, even if you search for “Indian curry” using the latest search function, there is no need to worry because it will appear in the search results.
英語では説明しにくいですが、日本語標記は『インディアンカレー』ではなく、一括でカタカナ変換できない『インデアンカレー』となっているのが特徴的です。
個人的には、名古屋駅前の大名古屋ビルヂングのように、昔のままでありつづけるのもいいのではと思います。
ちなみに、最近の検索機能はインディアンカレーと検索しても、検索結果に表れるので心配不要です。
Here is a list of the products available from the Indian Curry website.
It seems like the number of products has increased over time.
- Indian Curry – The curry rice we are introducing this time.
- Indian Spaghetti – Spaghetti with Indian curry as sauce, excellent taste.
- Hayashi Rice – Kansai-style hayashi rice.
- Pilaf – I’ve never eaten this.
- Meat spaghetti – I’ve never eaten this.
- Jambalaya – I’ve never eaten this.
Indian curry is served at all of these shops.
The menu offered differs from shop to shop. If you want to eat something other than Indian curry, we recommend that you check before you go.

We write about Indian curry here.
The curry here is Japanese-style beef curry rice.
It is a type of curry rice called “sweet and spicy curry”, and it is a more spicy type of curry.
Sweet and spicy curry is sweet when you first put it in your mouth, but the spiciness comes through soon after.
Some people who try it for the first time say it’s “sweet and spicy”.
The sweetness that comes first is quite sweet. However, the spiciness comes right after that. (It might be a little spicy for people who don’t like spicy food.)
The sweetness and spiciness are very exquisite and delicious.
If you don’t believe this sensation, please go to the shop and try it for yourself.
If you don’t like spicy food, I recommend topping your curry with an egg.
Even though it’s an egg, it’s just the yolk on top of the curry rice, and the mildness of the yolk wraps around the curry rice.
I myself like it quite spicy, but I always put an egg on top of the Indian curry.
I really think it’s a delicious combination.
If you still feel it’s too spicy even with the egg on top, you might want to try ordering the “medama” (which means “eyeball” in Japanese, because two eggs look like eyes), which contains two egg yolks.
The pickles here are different from the pickled vegetables(Fukujinzuke) or Japanese pickled scallions(Rakkyo) pickles that other shops often use, and are based on cabbage.
The cabbage is seasoned with a sweet vinegar base, and it’s the perfect palate cleanser for the spicy curry.
I also order a large portion of this.
This is Indian Curry. This photo is the “Dai−Tama, Ruu-Daboule” with a large portion of rice and double the amount of curry sauce, and with an egg.
I don’t usually eat large portions of rice, but when I come to Indian Curry, I can understand the saying “curry is a drink” and eat as much as I like.
Usually, I order a large portion of rice, a large portion of curry sauce, an egg topping, and a large portion of pickles.
Whether you like curry or not, I would like you to try it at least once.
Also, I would like foreign visitors to include this shop in their sightseeing itinerary.
Personally, I don’t mind eating Indian curry for lunch every day.
