Based on Indian curry, but it uses Japanese broth and soy sauce. It tastes full-bodied and smooth but doesn't cause an upset stomach because of no use of flour. You must be addicted to this curry.◎Regular holiday: Wednesdays Sundays are unsettled holidays. Going through the quiet residential area, you can find the black signboard.
