Rojiura Curry SAMURAI. Kichijoji — Restaurant in Tokyo

A cute restaurant set in a wooden house offering soup curry with so many combinations. You start off choosing the meat (or just all vegs) with either 12 or 20 kinds of vegs like lotus root, carrots, eggplant etc, then the curry soup base (either standard or with miso base, either with coconut milk or not), spiciness level then the amount of rice.

I picked the grilled chicken thigh with 12 types of veg in the standard curry and it comes in a large bowl of soup curry that’s very rich and tasty. You only get one per type of veg but they are all fresh. The lassi is another good addition to the meal which I ordered the yuzu honey lassi and the seasonal special pear lassi which are both very refreshing. A very nice lunch spot worth stopping by...

The only complaint is they are Cash Only but I will definitely visit again if we...

One of the best meals we had in a month in Tokyo. Vegetables are hard to come by in Japan, and after two months of travelling the country we stumbled on Rojiura Curry Samurai after our visit to the Ghibli Museum.

Prices range from about 1100 yen to 1500 yen for most dishes including tax. The "Normal" spicy level (Level 1) is already quite spicy, so you may want to choose level 0 if you have no tolerance at all.

The vegetables were perfectly cooked and abundant. The pork belly was delicious and tender. The added coconut flavour to the curry gave it a great rounded and sweeter taste. There's also a patio that is fantastic in beautiful weather. We'll be...
