Namaste Nepal Curry — Restaurant in Wakkanai

If you are wanting a change of cuisine after a week or 2 of eating at Izakayas or the usual Japanese Teppenyaki, Sushi, Sashimi, Tonkatsu, etc, then come here if you're in the neighbourhood.

So nice to be able to have something hot and spicy (these are 2 different things as you can have one without the other) midway through the trip.

I've been to Japan several times and have never found a place stranger than Wakkanai. There's nothing to see (except Rishiri and Rebun) and I had a hard time even finding a place to eat. Many restaurants don't welcome foreign tourists (to put it politely). Luckily, the guys at Namaste have always been very kind and accommodating. The food is...
