Taito City, Tokyo, Japan｜Yakuzen Curry Jinenjo Yanaka

Herbal spice curry shop that’s runned by one man. Each dish is topped with multiple spices and you have the option to add extra ginger. There are also multiple table side spices and pickles which you can also add to your meal. The curry comes with rice and a drink. It’s the perfect healthy and hearty option for dinner.

Absolutely astounding curry. Chock full of vegetables. It was also less salty than most curries in Japan, which I found to be a welcomed change. 😁 The fella working there is incredibly friendly, and he speaks great English. I also heard him speak a bit of French with some customers from France. The atmosphere is very comfortable, so it was a perfect place to leisurely enjoy a delicious meal after a long day of walking around Tokyo.

The staff helped us order because of our very limited Japanese language skills. They were very patient and friendly. They have a small menu that seems to change based on availability of ingredients. The curry tasted fresh and well-spiced. The staff seemed to have pride in their work and interest in creating a healthy and welcoming restaurant.
