Hitachinaka, Ibaraki, Japan｜Sounosuke's Curry and Rice

Best Japanese curry I’ve had so far! The restaurant has a great atmosphere. The owner is super friendly and welcoming. Great dinning experience.

I visited around 1pm on a weekday. There are no other customers, so it is reserved. The atmosphere inside and outside the store is truly American, and the music playing inside is rock a billy. The master seems to be making something that he is very particular about. I ordered chicken curry and my child ordered grilled curry. For an additional 300 yen, you can add a drink and salad set, so I went for it without hesitation. For my drink, I chose Javanese tea, and I was very happy because there aren't many restaurants that serve Javanese tea. Salad and drinks came first. When you think of salad dressing at a curry shop, it's that orange dressing. Is it sold for commercial use? I'm curious (lol) The curry is ready in just 10 minutes. It's an unmistakable smell (lol) You can choose the spiciness, but here I'll start with normal. It seems like the only ingredient in the curry is chicken, but I'm sure the roux contains many kinds of vegetables. The exquisite spicy curry, chunky and tender chicken, and the fried sweet potato topping have a crunchy texture that is a great accent. These cute gourd pickles are both visually appealing and delicious. I reset myself with some cold Java tea and continued eating. Full and satisfied (^o^) I will go again! On the weekend before this visit, I passed by the store, probably around 4pm, and saw a sign that said, "Closed today." If you're going on a Saturday or Sunday, it's probably best to make a reservation.

[20231029] 1st time This was my first visit as a family of three. Arrived in the afternoon. There were already 3 groups of customers. The counter was empty, but I had to wait a while before entering. I ordered pork curry + butter corn topping and ginger ale. It's hearty and fills you up. It was a delicious curry. I would like to visit you again. Please note that the owner is in charge of the whole thing by himself, so if you don't call out loud, he won't notice. Not recommended for those who can't wait.
