I was recommended to visit a bar in Nishi-Azabu by a friend who runs a bar there. When I arrived at the store 10 minutes before opening, there were already about 5 customers. The curry menu was relatively extensive, and being from out of town, it was a bit difficult to choose, but I decided on the Sri Lankan plate which looked visually appealing and seemed like I could try a variety of things. I placed my order and in about 15 minutes, it was ready. The first thing that surprised me was that the curry was extremely hot (laughs). Although some places deliberately serve it cooled down, I was quite happy with it being piping hot. You can always cool it down later if needed. I chose the mutton curry, which was not overly tender but had a slight chewiness to it. It had a good amount of bite to it. As I ate, I mixed everything on the plate together and dug in. The spiciness cannot be adjusted, but it was slightly on the spicy side. The meat, vegetables, beans, fruits, and various flavors all melded together and created a satisfying sensation that lingered in my mouth. Indeed, this was delicious. I am grateful to my friend for recommending such a great restaurant.

Sri Lankan curry with horse tendon for 1,600 yen. The big pieces of horse tendon were plentiful. I'm not a fan of spicy food, but level 3 spiciness was just right for me. I decided to line up since there was only one person ahead of me, but ended up waiting for about 30 minutes. If I didn't have to wait in line, I would definitely want to come back again.

I found a curry restaurant that I had registered for before while looking for lunch at Ohori Park in Fukuoka. It was past 12 on a weekday and there was no line. There were various things written at the entrance which made it a bit intimidating to enter, but the staff inside were really nice. I tried the duck keema curry with a spice level of 2 today. You can adjust the spiciness, but since it was my first time, I chose 2, but I think I could handle it a bit spicier. The curry was flavorful with spices, and I really enjoyed it. The Afterglow Curry on the menu looked delicious, so I'll try that next time with a spice level of 3.

First of all, I have to say it is incredibly delicious!! Make sure to order the mango lassi too! It's a bit spicy, but worth the wait on the weekend! I think any menu item you order will be delicious for sure! I will definitely visit again!

■Overall, this is one of the top curry restaurants in Fukuoka. I went on a Tuesday night and there was quite a line. I decided to go after seeing a post from one of my Instagram followers that looked delicious. I tried a menu item called Beef Vindaloo, which I had never heard of before. The result was like going from a regular Saiyan to a Super Saiyan, or like Gon and Killua just learning Nen - overflowing with power. It was a bit of a strange phenomenon. I also ordered alcohol, and felt like I could have easily had two more drinks.■Beef Vindaloo is a limited menu item. It had a spiciness level of 3, just enough for me to appreciate the flavor. In other words, it was spicy. But the umami flavor came rushing in at full force. And then there was the acidity. This was the factor that gave it that strange overflowing power. It seems Vindaloo is a dish that uses vinegar. This sensation was quite refreshing. Thank you for the meal.

On the second day of my Fukuoka trip, I have been hooked on curry since eating spice curry, and have been researching a place where I can experience authentic curry. I arrived early before the opening after taking a stroll in the nearby park, but there was already a line forming, indicating that it is a well-known restaurant. I wanted to try the authentic curry, so I ordered the Sri Lankan plate. However, this menu choice was a mistake. The curry that came out was truly authentic, maybe too authentic for me at this point. Therefore, this review is based on my lack of knowledge when ordering, so please do not take it as a reference. I tried a bit of the standard curry that my wife ordered, and it was extremely delicious. If I hadn't ordered the Sri Lankan plate, the rating would have been much higher for sure. If I have the chance, I would like to try the standard curry next time. However, there was also a long line at "Larky" nearby, and I am torn between curry and pasta.

For lunch, I went to "Afterglow" near Ohori Park in Fukuoka! It was my first time there, so I chose their popular dish, the Afterglow Curry. It had plenty of chicken chunks in a light and spicy curry sauce, and it was delicious! I went for a spice level of 2, which was just right in terms of heat and easy to eat.

The food at Shibuya's favorite restaurant is delicious. However, there are many things to nitpick about - the food took a long time to be served (40 minutes after sitting down), the explanations were lengthy, and when the food finally arrived, the curry was strangely slimy. Also, the popping candy in the curry was annoying (it would have been interesting if they served it separately). The curry was tasty, but there were too many quirky factors to ignore!

I had been watching the long line forming all the time, so even though it was a weekday, I went there at 11:00, 30 minutes before opening. I was the first one in line~♪ After that, more than 10 people came one after another. Amazing. The store opened right on time at 11:30. Inside the store, music by Sakanaction was playing loudly, reflecting the owner's taste. Quite a unique atmosphere... They took orders in the order of people lining up. Since it was my first time, I decided to go with the classic Afterglow Curry. I enjoyed the aroma of the spices while waiting. And then, the Afterglow Curry arrived. I took a bite of the sauce. ＿人人人人人人人人人人人人人＿＞ ...Huh?!!?!!?!! <￣Y^Y^Y^Y^Y^Y^Y^Y^Y^Y^￣ Shock. The amount of spices used, which I couldn't even count, and the sweet fat coming from the chicken meat and skin combined, it was just irresistible...! I love spices, and I've had many curries with strong spice flavors before, but this one, with the added sweetness from the fat, was addictive with its sweet and spicy combination. The balance of acidity was also just right... It's understandable why he's called a spice genius. As I kept taking one bite after another with the spoon, the pleasant spiciness gradually spread through my body. Even the music, which seemed loud earlier, now felt comfortable as it merged with the taste, spices, and ambiance. I usually default to not waiting in line and going to other restaurants, but this place has definitely become a restaurant where I would wait in line again. Next time, I want to try a different curry. Thank you for the meal. The Strongest Spice Curry Ever [Afterglow].

I arrived a little early and was able to get a seat on the first round. The interior of the restaurant was unique as I had heard. The staff were very kind and attentive. I decided to try the mackerel curry with miso soup. The mackerel was very large and delicious, a great choice. The miso soup was also a good addition. The curry had a nice punch to it and the mackerel went well with it.

Today, I lined up before the opening and was able to enter on the first turn! I had the Tan Tan Pork with spice level 3! The spices were strong and appetizing, and my body felt warm from the inside out. I couldn't stop eating until the plate was clean! The curry menu looked delicious, but today's curry options were all so tempting that I feel like I could visit this place again and again!

Fukuoka's finest gourmet curry at Afterglow. Their authentic spice curry has a perfect balance of spices, especially the Garam Masala is amazing! Curry lovers should definitely try it out. #afterglow #curry #curryrice #currylover #currylunch #spicycurry #spices #garammasala #FukuokaGourmet #Fukuokaeats #Fukuokalunch #Fukuokatravel #foodie #grassko #grasskogourmet #Fukuokacity #foodtour

Overall, I was looking to have some curry and came across Afterglow, which I found out was open. It was quite empty since they are not open at night. I tried the curry that was recommended on Instagram along with a beer. It was delicious, especially with the oysters and lots of coriander on top. The beer paired well with the curry. I wanted to get more rice, but decided against it. I forgot to order miso soup, though. I'll remember to order it next time. Thank you for the meal.

Lassam Keema: Spicy and delicious curry for 1000 yen. The restaurant has a small space with a counter for 4 and 4 tables for 2 people each. The interior is unique and the live video of Sakana Action plays at a medium volume, creating a good atmosphere. Check their Instagram for opening hours.

The atmosphere is great with lots of lizards inside the restaurant to keep you entertained while you wait. They also have a variety of interesting books. The live video of Sakanaction playing in the background creates a pleasant ambiance. The food was delicious, especially the mixed plate. I saw other customers enjoying their meals as well, showing how popular it is. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I was curious because there was always a long line in front of the store when I passed by, and it turned out to be a curry restaurant. After researching, I found out that it is a famous restaurant and decided to give it a try. While waiting, I looked at the calendar and noticed that the store has quite a few days off, so it's important to check before going. The taste is amazing. It's spicy with a great depth of flavor, and the acidity adds a perfect touch to the taste. I would wait in line again just to eat this curry. You can choose the level of spiciness, and I went with level 4, which was just right for me. I believe that moderation is key when it comes to spiciness because if it's too spicy, the delicious flavor is lost.

Many people struggled to choose from the diverse menu, but the most popular orders were the Lamb Kheema and Sri Lankan Plate. The line was an hour long. The Lamb Kheema had a rich tomato flavor, similar to Colombia 8, while the Shabakheema was topped with dried bonito flakes. The Kashmiri Kheema, however, felt lacking in the intense spiciness due to the overpowering bonito flavor. Overall, it seems like trying all the menu items is a must.

Around noon, when I arrived, there were about 3 people in front of me and a few more behind me. It seems to be popular. I noticed some regular customers as well. This time, I ordered the duck keema. It was even more delicious than I imagined, and I liked that you can choose the level of spiciness. Inside the restaurant, there are several glass cases with lizards and salamanders living in them. It's very soothing.

Curry restaurant near Ohori Park. Visited during lunchtime. ~Order~ Sri Lanka Plate Curry　　　　　1700 yen Extra Spiciness　　　　　　　　　　　50 yen The Sri Lanka Plate includes several side dishes, rice, and curry. The main curry had a light texture with deep umami and a hint of spices. The spiciness was about as spicy as commercial spicy curry. The large portion of cooked oysters in the middle was perfectly cooked, allowing the savory and creamy flavors to shine. The extra spiciness option was fried chili peppers, which added a nice touch of bitterness. The rice was Indica rice, which I personally enjoyed. The variety of side dishes and additional curries provided different textures and flavors to enjoy, which was great. I tried various combinations and finished all of it. ~Conclusion~ The curry was very delicious. If there were a few less requests from the manager to the customers (posted notices), it would have been better. I felt a little unwell because of it. Well, the curry was delicious so I would like to visit again. Thank you for the meal.

Located in Fukuoka City, this place is a bit off the beaten path with no parking lot, but there is a parking lot nearby that charges 100 yen per hour. I went there on a Sunday when they open at 11:30, but arrived 10 minutes early and had to wait in line with 15 people ahead of me. Some people in front of me were waiting for their friends, so I managed to slip in on the first round. Keep in mind that you can't enter unless your whole group is there. The curry is served quickly, so the turnover is relatively fast. It's a popular spot, so solo diners may have to share a table. The regular customers were chatting with each other, and the atmosphere was friendly. The menu had a note saying "Let's decide what we want to eat ourselves," but some regulars knew exactly what they wanted. I ordered the lamb keema curry for 1500 yen, which was a generous portion. I can't judge the curry level, but it was undeniably delicious. You might need to visit a few times to fully appreciate it. I would definitely like to come back and give it another try. This place might be a hit or miss for some, but it has a vibe that makes me want to come back at night. They only accept cash. I will visit again. Thank you for the meal! (*☻-☻*)

On a Sunday lunchtime, I visited "Afterglow", located about a 10-minute walk from Rokumonmatsu Station on the Fukuoka City Subway Nanakuma Line. This restaurant has been selected as a Bib Gourmand in the "Michelin Guide Fukuoka", so I had been curious about it for a while. **Store** I arrived around 12:45 on Sunday. It was lunchtime, so there was a line of about 10 people. What caught my attention was the "store owner's poem" posted on the glass in front of the shop. It had quirky phrases like "I don't think it's worth waiting in line to eat here" and "I'm doing my best, so please let me do things at my own pace". I love this kind of uniqueness. I entered the shop around 1:10 pm. Inside, there were 4 counter seats on the left and 4 two-person table seats on the right. The interior was quite distinctive, with peculiar items like a human head, crab, and turtle. The background music was by the band Sakanaction, playing at a fairly high volume. There were also the store owner's poems placed all around the shop, making me look around curiously. **Menu** I chose the Sri Lankan Plate, which I had decided on even before my visit. There were 3 types of Sri Lankan Plates to choose from, so it was a tough decision. I consulted with the owner and ended up ordering the ★Sri Lankan Plate with oysters for 1800 yen, as it was a popular choice that day. It arrived in about 15 minutes. The oyster curry was served in a separate dish. The owner advised me to break the papadum, pour a little oyster curry over it, and eat it. First, I tried the oyster curry alone. It was delicious!!! The gentle sweetness of coconut was followed by the spices like curry leaves. There were about 7 large oysters in the curry. Oysters and curry really go well together. The oyster curry alone was already perfect. I had to stop myself from finishing just the oyster curry and moved on to breaking the papadum, mixing it with the side dishes. The beans, green beans, carrots, lotus root, potatoes, and other carefully crafted side dishes were all harmoniously prepared. Each side dish blended well without overpowering each other. It was amazing. I was so engrossed that I finished every last bite. **Final Thoughts** It was a plate that left a strong impression on me. Personally, it was a dish that hit the spot for me. When I spoke to the owner, she mentioned that there were too many daily menu options, making it impossible to keep up even if you visited twice a week. The restaurant was unique and its true potential was beyond measure. It was a fantastic meal. Thank you for the delicious food.
