I missed the great Indian and Thai food that I had eaten in Japan.
I eat a lot of curry. And most of what I eat is authentic, hot’n’spicy south Asian curry.
Mmmmm, curry
Of course, when I was in Japan, I occasionally ate some of the standard Japanese curry (aka curry rice), a very common dish that is rather bland and sweet. Sometimes it was simply the most convenient meal around.
Real curry
But more often, we’d go to authentic curry restaurants such as those listed above. They were among the finest, tastiest, and hottest Indian and Thai curry restaurants I ever enjoyed.
After living in Japan, I also lived in both India (4 years) and Thailand (1 year).
But, to tell the truth, there were plenty of times when I missed the great Indian and Thai food that Japan produced. In fact, percentage wise, there are probably more excellent Indian restaurants in Japan than in India. (Image source)

Your image for the list of restaurants isn't showing in the post. You might have to edit that.
As far as the curry. I've been to many, many Thai restaurants in Japan, and very, very few compare to real Thai food in Thailand. Most Thai restaurants I've been to here serve bland, watered down versions of Thai food. They do this to suit Japanese taste. Many Japanese people can't handle spicy food, and are used to eating very light flavors compared to most of the world, so authentic Thai food just doesn't sell well in most of Japan, or at least that's the theory.
As far as Japanese curry goes, didn't you ever try CoCo Ichiban? They have 10 different levels of spiciness to choose from. Level 4 is pretty spicy. I tried level 6 once and regretted it. Some Thai friends came to visit and I took them there. They ordered level 7 and THEY regretted it.
Go figure, huh? The biggest Japanese curry chain in Japan has super spicy curry, while the Thai restaurants in Japan mostly don't.
The image shows on my laptop.
I think there's a bug of sorts. A few days ago, I was on my brother's laptop, and none of the thumbnail images nor images can be seen on his laptop. Weird.
The Thai restaurants I've been to in Japan served very hot n spicy curry. I've never eaten at CoCo Ichiban, but used to sometime eat Miyoshino curry, which is basic Japanese curry.
The image actually shows up on Steemit but not on Steempeak, whcih is what I use to read posts. Which is weird, because Steempeak is overall much better than Steemit. I guess it's a bug in Steempeak.
I wanted to go there just to taste your curry. Looks so yummy :)
IT's definitely tasty. Go there and try it if you ever can.
Yes, I will go there for sure sir 🙌
I love that dish as well.
Thanks for another fantastic meal menu. Your recipe is extremely high standard of cuisine.
I especially like the wonderful chicken dish.
i agree that chicken curry is awesome!
whoa! i love curry. i can't wait to try these. see you japan! :)
I love eating curry! An Indian friend cooked once for me and that's when I start liking it. But, it's very interesting to know that Japan Curry Restaurant has excellent food compare to Indian or Thailand itself.
Yes. Of course, the Japanese love their cuisine, and they also love the cuisines of other nations / regions.
I love food the curry was my favorite too. Love some good spice! Spicy curry were the best!!
Yes, and even some of the Japanese love spicy curry.
I can't help it but drool on this pics! hahaha
Drool on! It's definitely drool-worthy food!!
Looks good. I think you've enjoy a lot your tour in japan
Yes, enjoyed the time and enjoyed the food.
is it better than thai curry? i heard thai curry is good too.
Well, nothing's better than Thai curry! But I'd say much Japanese curry is definitely as good as Thai curry.
people i know have gone back to Japan more than 2x.. i guess, there's something about the country that makes people want to return. it's in my bucket list, too. arigato
Good luck. I hope you get there someday.
thank you! keeping my fingers crossed! i want to go and see the Tsukiji market, too! haha
I'm a curry lover but haven't been to Japan.. maybe someday I'm going to explore and eat those kind of delish food. Thanks for the great info!

I love this! Let you Curry me to Japan!:)
Thanks!
The food looks so delish! I'm a curry lover as well. It would be great to try this dish out when I go visit Japan. What else would you recommend?
Japan has all kinds of great food. Of course, to start, I'd recommend sushi.... Mmmmmmmmm.
Yeah I've tried sushi before, but I bet it would be tastier if the one who makes it is a native Japanese. Yum yum! Thanks for suggesting it though. :)
