- Fukui Fukui-shi Junka 1-10-1
- A long-standing curry and coffee shop. They were in the Katamachi area for over 50 years but moved due to renovation of the surrounding buildings. They moved to their current location just a few years ago. They brought much of their interior design including their chandelier and chairs with them from the old location so the inner atmosphere of the shop is unchanged. And of course their menu is still the same allowing you to enjoy their classic slow-stewed western-style curry.

Water sports and seaside delicacies are available in abundance as the spectacular rugged coastline flattens down into beaches to the west of the prefecture, while inland, Fukui is home to Zen Buddhist temples and historic ruins.
