Hachioji, Tokyo, Japan｜Very Well

I've known about its existence for a long time, and I've passed by the store several times, but I finally visited it for the first time at the end of the year, just after 12:00. I imagined the interior of the restaurant to be a one-off curry shop run by a senior citizen, but the interior was clean and staffed by two young girls. There were two customers in the front and one customer in the back. The menu includes a single item for 780 yen (tax included) and a set menu for 980 yen, which comes with salad, drink, and dessert. Thai-style red curry is the most popular, but other options include mild chicken curry, pork curry, keema curry, seafood curry, and monthly curry. I ordered a monthly double pork curry with melty pork and pork wiener, and when I asked for the spiciness to be one level above dry, I was told it was 3 spicy, so I ordered 4 spicy. I chose rice and hot coffee. Immediately, a salad with original dressing was served, and 7 or 8 minutes later, a rice plate with two servings of white rice and turmeric rice, and a piping hot stone-grilled curry were served. First, like soup curry, place turmeric rice on a spoon and then dip it into the curry. It's sticky, rich, hot, and delicious. The 4-spicy version has a sticky curry flavor, followed by a spiciness that sticks in your mouth. Maybe I should have kept it to 4 spiciness instead of going on an adventure, haha. In the second half, we served curry over rice. We were treated to hot coffee and yogurt after the meal.

You can enjoy a rich and delicious curry by simmering it. Lunch is expensive. The staff are kind and the atmosphere is relaxing. You can choose between naan, jasmine rice, and half.

I'm not sure if it's a hidden gem or a popular restaurant, but it's a good restaurant where you can enjoy curry that Japanese people like. Pasta is also available after 1pm.
