Kashiba, Nara, Japan｜pie,guruguru パイグルグル

I tried the keema curry pie from their food truck at the Katsuragi Michi no Eki. One of the best savory pies I’ve had in Japan. I will definitely visit again.

Pie,guruguru is a pie specialty store located in Kashiba City, Nara Prefecture. Although there are stores in Osaka, Kashiba is where it originated. Guruguru pie is the result of trial and error, led by pie artisans, in search of the ideal taste and texture, and finally arrived at a unique manufacturing method. In addition to the group's construction company, the owner's younger sister is also a designer and lecturer, and you can clearly see the dedication that goes into creating the store. We designed our own logo and packaging, and the interior of our store uses natural materials that blend gently with the design. The pie dough, which is slowly finished on a marble surface while adjusting the temperature, does not use yeast. The finished product is carefully baked in a gas oven, and the store is filled with the sweet scent of fermented butter. We have a wide variety of pies, from sweets to side dishes! The ingredients in our pies are made with reliable ingredients that are safe to eat, such as those that go directly to the farmers themselves. It's also great that you can enjoy what's in season, from standard pies to seasonal pies! "Meat pie" is one of Guruguru's specialty dishes. While I was taking photos, repeat customers kept coming to the store, and most of them were purchasing the "meat pie." Guruguru's special meat sauce is a blend of several spices and slowly simmered, giving it a deep flavor. It blends perfectly with the sweetness of fermented butter, and you can also enjoy the crunchy texture! This is a store that I'm looking forward to seeing in the future!

I took out the meat pie from the kitchen car! It was really delicious ♡ I'll buy it again if I can find it again!
