Rojiura Curry SAMURAI, Kamakura — Restaurant in Kamakura

This is an Hokkaido style curry place I visited on a freezing night in Kamakura. Fun fact is that less than two hours earlier I made the smart choice of walking barefoot on the beach, so yeah, I was freezing and this place really managed to warm me up lol.

Anyways. The first thing I noticed is that usually Hokkiado style curry is served with saffron rice, but this time, it was just plain rice.... mmmmmhhh. Then I probably underestimated the spiciness levels, and I got a level 4, never again. Never again. My spice tolerance is a little bit better than the average white person, but I should've stuck to a level 2. These spiciness levels are definitely not adjusted to japanese standards like Indian curry restaurants and Curry rice restaurants are.

While the soup was too spicy, and I didn't get to appreciate each veggie's special flavour, I appreciate the chef's veggies choices, like pumpkin, beans...

Delicious. The soup was light but so tasty! Usually, I just go normal curry as I find that it’s more delicious than in soup form, but every time I find a great soup curry place I change my mind, including this time. Loved the vaste choice of veggies as toppings, and most of all, I love that they are a chemical, flour and oil free chain. I wouldn’t have been able to tell it was a chain if I didn’t look them up in detail before going. Perfect for those like me who love curry and love eating out but are still trying to avoid bad ingredients as much as possible and stay healthy!

They gave us a free onsen tamago as reward after following them on ig!

The place itself is so nice, very good vibes, we were sitting on the tatami, at the low tables. Lovely. They even have Wi-Fi...

In the heart of Kamakura’s touristy center, it was a delight to find a place serving Hokkaido-style soup curry featuring a wide variety of fresh, locally sourced Kamakura vegetables for a fair price.

(I know rojyura curry samurai is a chain, but with local vegetables it really tasted even more special); With options ranging from a single plate with 12 vegetables and chicken to 20 different vegetables (not including extra toppings!), the menu offers something for everyone with rice/side/spicy levels being customizable.

The cozy interior is ideal for autumn and winter, adding to the warm dining experience. I highly recommend the vegetable-loaded curry and the refreshing matcha...
