You’ll find Chiisana Curry-ya (lit. “little curry shop”) on a backstreet 2 minutes on foot from JR Okubo Station. It’s got a fairly weathered exterior for that hideaway vibe. The Beef Tendon Curry comes in three sizes, with the largest running only 880 yen, but even the regular size almost overflows from the plate. The tender beef tendon is matched with a slightly sweet taste, and the fried onions add that extra texture to keep you coming back.

Pork Curry　950yen

Sumatra Curry is the oldest shop in the highly competitive area for curry restaurants, Jimbocho. Founded way back in 1924, the secret to their success is in the sauce. On first look, the black sauce may be shocking, but that’s because they use 26 kinds of spices stewed with meat and vegetables for smooth and satisfying taste without using any wheat flour. Once you try their curry, it’s easy to get addicted.
It’s a minute’s walk from the A5 exit of Jimbocho Station.

Chicken Butter Masala 1,296yen

Mandala’s curry is based on the Northern Indian style without adapting too much to the Japanese palate. They also make their own garam masala (the spices crucial for curry) in-house for a unique taste. The Chicken Butter Masala curry combines the acidity of several tomatoes with the mild sweetness of creamy butter, all in concert with a healthy portion of spices. Don’t miss the fluffy, chewy naan to complete the meal, either. Mandala has been featured on several Japanese TV shows and even manga, so it’s the real deal.
It’s only a minute’s walk from the A6 exit of Jimbocho Station.

Vegetable Curry 930yen

Ethiopia’s curry is a happy mix between medicinal style and Indian style curry, offering a heaping helping of vegetables and 12 types of spices.

The vegetable curry also comes with a small potato and margarine for an appetizer, and you can have as many as you’d like to make sure you don’t leave hungry.
It’s only 3 minutes on foot from the A5 exit of Jimbocho Station.

Wagyu Beef Java Curry 2,300yen

Tomato has a reputation as possibly being the best curry in Japan. It has a line even before it opens, and it was listed in the Bib Gourmand Michelin Guide for Tokyo. The super thick curry is stewed with vegetables, 36 spices, and wagyu glace de viande and stock for an entire week. It’s matched with rice topped with fragrant sultana raisins to complement the spiciness of the sauce, the richness from the meat, and the savory sweetness from the vegetables. This is a special treat for curry lovers.
It’s a 5-minute walk from the West Exit of Ogikubo Station.

Keema Curry 900yen and Extra cheese 200yen

Fans of keema curry have to try Minoringo. The savory ground meat (beef and pork) is combined with spices, fruit, and vegetables for a delicious keema on the spicy side. It’s presented atop a round serving of rice, then topped with a poached egg to balance the spiciness. For an extra 200 yen, you can add melted cheese to the top for the dish that put the restaurant on the map. It is crowded on weekends, so go early to grab a plate before it sells out. Or skip the crowd with a late lunch during the week.
It’s 3 minutes’ walk from the Takeshita Exit of JR Harajuku Station.

Chicken Curry 780yen

Curry Kusamakura doesn’t use any wheat flour and very little oil, giving the spices center stage. For each plate, an entire onion is used for a sauce base that’s mixed with their special assortment of spices. It’s a unique style of curry, but the style is closer to an Indian-style curry with a smooth taste that goes down easy. The rice is on the harder side, and it matches well with the lighter sauce. Butter and cheese toppings are available to thicken it up, though.
It’s 8 minutes walk from JR Shinjuku Station.
