“Moshimo Cafeteria～WORLD CURRY FESTA～” is being held at Shibuya Tokyu Plaza! You can taste world-famous curry at famous restaurants in Shibuya! ｜Rurubu et al.

“WORLD CURRY FESTA” will be held for a limited time at “Moshimo Shokudo” on the 6th floor of Tokyu Plaza Shibuya on Friday, March 31, 2023. Hailed as “one of the best food connoisseurs and curry lovers in the music industry,” Hoffdylan’s Yuhi Komiyama selects a curry from a famous local restaurant. I get hungry right away.

The 5th Moshimo Shokudo featuring local curry restaurants!

“Moshimo Shokudo” is a shared kitchen where various chefs and restaurants offer various cuisines for a limited time. So far, we have cooperated with star restaurants, chefs, etc. “What if the chef of a luxury store works in a casual restaurant?” “What if” has become a reality.

The theme of the fifth project is curry from all over the world!
Yuri Komiyayama, who is known as a curry maniac because he loves curry and wrote a curry recipe book, carefully selected 4 well-known rural restaurants that he can’t usually go to. For this event, the chef of Maoxia Canteen personally visited various restaurants and learned the recipes.

Introducing the store and menu!

Pakistani curry at famous restaurant “Zaika Curry House” in Toyama

Let’s have some curry!
This is “Mutton Karahi” 1265 yen from the Pakistani restaurant “Zaika Curry House” in Izumi City, Toyama Prefecture.

Since many Pakistanis live in Imizu, there are many Pakistani restaurants. “Zaika Curry House” is a restaurant opened by a Pakistani chef who can be called a master. It is a 30-minute drive from Shinkansen Toyama Station.

By the way, “Karahi” is the name of a pot shaped like a wok, which is representative of curry in Pakistan. I was overwhelmed by the softness of the stir-fried lamb! Concentrated sweetness and umami of onions and tomatoes.
Add raita (unsweetened yogurt salad) as a side dish for a zesty kick.

Sri Lankan curry from Sri Lankan tea and curry shop “Kochayasan” in Saitama Prefecture

This is “Sri Lankan curry chicken” 1,265 yen from the Sri Lankan tea curry shop “Kochayasan” in Omiya-ku, Saitama Prefecture. The milk tea shop is only open for lunch, and it is full of 5 people every day, and it is fully booked at most one month in advance.

There are many vegetables in the side dishes such as Seeni Sambol (onion salad), eggplant Moju (eggplant salad), Pol Sambol (coconut shavings). The seasoning is simple, and the taste makes people want to have another bite.
Even people who don’t like strong spices can eat this.
Mix side dishes, curry and rice little by little before the plate and enjoy.

Thai curry at “Baan Thai”, a representative Thai restaurant in Hyogo Prefecture

This is a Thai restaurant “Baan Thai” located in Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture. It is a Thai restaurant representing Hyogo Prefecture, and it seems to be a very popular restaurant that is full before noon every day.

The curry mixes herbs such as lemongrass and bimak kleu (kaffir lime) with spices such as paprika, and is tangy and spicy in rich coconut milk. Among the 4 types of curry this time, the spiciness is the strongest, but the umami taste is lingering!

South Indian Lemon Rice at “Lemon Rice TOKYO” supervised by curry fanatic Mr. Komiyayama

This is the last one. “Lemon Rice” 1,265 yen at “Lemon Rice TOKYO” supervised by Mr. Komiyama.
Based on lemon rice, a home-cooked dish from South India, curry born in Shibuya was born as a takeaway specialty store with only 1 tsubo.
For now, it’s a hallucination flavor that’s only available in online stores, special events, and festivals.

To start, you can eat straight rice seasoned with lemon and spices, followed by side dishes such as onion sauce and pickled radish, followed by chicken curry.
Although it is completely different from Japanese curry, it has a taste that Japanese people like. No wonder it attracted a lot of attention once it opened.

This time, I tried to compare 4 different ways of eating curry. To my surprise, even if I only said one word curry, they were completely different. At the same time, I also lamented that there are so many different curries in the world.
From Thursday, January 26, 2023, curry other than lemon rice will be replaced,season2 plans to start. Looking forward to it too!
