On a Sunday lunchtime, I visited "Moritoneri" located about a 5-minute walk from Ropponmatsu Station on the Fukuoka City Subway Nanakuma Line. This restaurant was selected for the Michelin Plate in the "Michelin Guide Fukuoka, Saga, Nagasaki Special Edition 2019". Location: Located in a quiet residential area, with Fukuoka Ken Gokoku Shrine nearby. The exterior looks like an old house or slightly aged apartment. It is a two-story building with the first floor serving as the restaurant. If it were outside of business hours, you wouldn't notice it was a curry restaurant. Arriving around 1:30 pm, there was a line of three people waiting. We were seated inside after about 20 minutes. The interior is predominantly white and nicely renovated. The atmosphere is enhanced by orange lighting and trendy Western music playing. There are four counter seats and two small tables for two people. The owner manages the restaurant alone. Menu: They offer three types of curry, with the dry keema curry being sold out. You can choose the spiciness level from 1 to 3. They mentioned that "1 is relatively spicy, 2 is like the spicy level of a retort curry." You can also opt for a +100 yen "mini rice set," where you get a smaller portion of rice but can add toppings like eggs and papad. This time, I ordered the Pork Curry Mini Rice Set A for 1,300 yen. Food: After about 15 minutes, the curry was served. I crushed the papad (I love this moment). The curry had plenty of pork pieces, providing a satisfying meal. The spices gradually kick in with a gentle flavor. The egg was half-boiled, a perfect match as always. The abundant and colorful side dishes reminded me of a Sri Lankan plate. The toppings were amazing! Each item was carefully prepared, packed with spiciness, acidity, and sweetness, keeping the taste exciting until the last bite. I thoroughly enjoyed the infinite flavor variations. Overall Impression: The long queue is justified. The curry, meticulously prepared and reflecting the owner's personality, was gentle and delicious. I look forward to trying the keema curry next time. Thank you for the meal.

On this day, I had some errands to run in Ropponmatsu, which only happens every two months. It was quite hot, and I started sweating a lot while walking, but I still made it to Moritoneri. Even though I could have had curry at the station underground, I had a sudden craving for the curry here! I arrived around 1 PM, and while there was no line outside, the restaurant was full. Just as I was about to wait inside, a handsome guy at the counter waved at me and said there was a spot available! I looked at the menu on the wall and was drawn to the butter squash curry with thread-sail filefish, so I ordered that from the master. He mentioned that they were out of thread-sail filefish and would be serving red snapper instead. I asked for a small portion of rice and medium spiciness. The mini rice set usually comes with an egg and papadum, but they were out of papadum, so they topped my rice with egg and even gave me a little bit of cilantro as a bonus. The curry was served on a plate with various side dishes, and the red snapper curry was rich and flavorful, with the fish being fresh and delicious. I had never tried butter squash before, but it was more watery and less sweet compared to regular squash, and it paired perfectly with the curry. The plate had a variety of side dishes, including Polsonbol, providing a fun element of mixing and matching. Considering the price, I was very satisfied with the meal. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the regular customers next to me were chatting about recent events, sharing lots of interesting information! Overall, it was a great dining experience!

For lunch, I went to "Moritoneri" in Ropponmatsu, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City. I ordered the Pork Curry with a spice level of 2 (1300 yen). It was a delicious and authentic curry! ☆☆☆ I also received a complimentary Kanpachi collar soup. Thank you very much!

There is a curry restaurant quietly tucked away in an alley next to NHK in Rokubonmatsu. The shelves are lined with spices, and the lack of a sign might make it easy to overlook this place. The interior is small, with three seats at the counter and two tables. There are three levels of spiciness to choose from, and I selected level three. The curry was spicy and flavorful. I noticed the person next to me eating it like mixed rice, so I ended up eating it the same way. The variety of textures made it enjoyable and delicious. The curry also had plenty of pork in it, and I thought the price of 1,300 yen was reasonable.

I searched on Tabelog for where to eat lunch in front of the gym and found this place. The menu is said to be posted on Instagram stories, so I confirmed they were open and decided to visit. I arrived a little after 12 pm. The place was full but they said I could wait. While waiting, I saw a woman who seemed like a regular customer. It was my first time there, so I asked for recommendations and ordered the Pork Curry with spice level 2, mini portion A, with egg and papadum. The spice level 2 was like the spicy type of canned curry. It took about 15 minutes for the food to arrive. When the dishes came, some of them looked unfamiliar, but I tried them without asking. Mixing it all together created a blend of various flavors. The curry was delicious but had a unique taste that was addictive. I want to try the fish menu next time. I will definitely visit again.

Curry lunch in a fiercely competitive curry area. Met up with friends here as per their request! We had to wait for one group ahead of us. After a little while, we were able to enter the restaurant. I was hoping they had mutton, but unfortunately they didn't! Since I had tried the chicken before, this time I went for the daily special, which was the Fish Curry. The Black Sea Bream and Maitake Mushroom Curry Fish was delicious... I truly felt the contrast between the tender, white flesh of the sea bream and the refreshing curry. The mild spiciness that slowly builds up was just right for me (⌒▽⌒). I was surprised to see a side dish made with strawberries on this day! Mori Tonelli is amazing as always! It had been a while since I last visited before the pandemic, so I'm glad I could come back again ( ´ ▽ ` ) Next time, I really want to try the mutton! Thank you for the meal.

【2022.05.07】"1243" I am looking forward to having lunch at a business trip destination. I have already checked in advance. And I chose this place. It's a small restaurant. The entrance is narrow. Inside, there are only two tables, not for four people. There is also a counter for three people. Soon, there are people waiting outside. The background music is not what you would expect in a curry shop. Maybe the owner here is a musician? Now, there are four types of curry on the menu. You can choose toppings, sets, and spiciness of the curry. - Chicken heart curry: I ordered this because I wanted to try something unusual. The curry was great, but the side dishes caught my attention. Side dishes include eggplant, carrots, strawberries, bananas (with cumin and garlic), bean sprouts, red bell peppers, burdock root, and beans with coconut curry. On top of the rice, there are mushrooms and black sesame and coconut sprinkle. - White rice: Wow, it was an amazing curry. It's a masterpiece of creative curry. My companion was having squid and bell pepper curry.

A curry restaurant located in a quiet neighborhood near Ohori Park. The spicy curry and flavorful chicken were delicious, and the side dish that looked like pickles was also very tasty. Especially, the pink one with a fruity aroma was surprising when mixed with rice and curry, providing a unique curry experience that I had never had before.

I enjoyed fugu at Sunaka the day before, then went to a couple more places for drinks. I couldn't catch a taxi at all and ended up walking all the way to Akasaka, where I finally found an empty taxi on the opposite lane. When I got home and looked at the clock, it was a shocking 3 am... Anyway, the next morning I woke up with my stomach in spice mode since I hadn't eaten anything after the fugu. Around noon, I headed to Ropponmatsu and decided to try O'Rechene, where there was a line. I took a chance and luckily got in just as someone was leaving. It was lucky because there was a wait afterwards. I ordered the pork curry for 1,100 yen with a mini set of egg and papad for an extra 100 yen, choosing a spice level of 2. It took about 30 minutes for the food to be served since the master was handling everything alone. Let's crush the papad and enjoy it! The mini set with the egg for 100 yen was a great deal. The pork curry had a Bindaloo-like spiciness, with a good variety of side dishes for different flavor combinations. Choosing this place for my first and last curry of 2021 was definitely the right decision! Thank you for the meal!

I'm not used to this kind of curry, so I'm a bit unsure about how to order and eat it, but it's been getting popular lately and has good reviews, so I decided to give it a try! The restaurant is located behind Ohori High School. I don't come to this area often, but there are various interesting shops around here. The place has a DIY vibe with a counter and two tables, and it looks very trendy. I ordered the mutton curry with cheese topping, with a spice level of 2. Even though I'm not used to this type of cuisine, it was delicious. I should do some more research on this!

Before finishing my errands by bus, I got off midway and walked to the shop. After turning a few corners, I arrived at the shop. There were quite a few customers inside. I wanted to eat Keema curry, but I'm not a fan of lamb, so I asked what kind of meat is used in the Keema. They said they didn't use lamb, so I placed my order. After a while, the curry arrived. It was subtly spicy but delicious. I finished it in no time. As I was paying, the manager asked if the spiciness was okay. I had felt it from the beginning, but the manager here is a really nice person. I will definitely go back.

The cozy and delicious curry on a rainy day! The restaurant is small with 3 groups of customers inside and 4 delivery drivers waiting outside. It is located near my alma mater, Ohori High School, and NHK, with white walls and orange lights. The owner is always busy, sometimes forgetting spoons. After waiting about 20 minutes, the curry arrived. I ordered chicken curry with egg and sausage toppings. They also offer 5 different sides. I finished the meal in about 5 minutes. I wish the curry was a bit hotter, but it was very tasty. It's convenient for those coming from sports activities near the Budokan. Just be aware there is no parking available!

The shop has a handmade feel rather than being stylish, which is nice. I had the Keema Curry. It seems they were sold out of the Coriander Keema Curry. Fruits and vegetables are served around the curry. The balance is exquisite. The only thing lacking is the portion size.

I visited Moritoneri after a long time. It's my favorite curry in the Ropponmatsu area. When I arrived around 11:10, there was no line at all! Perfect timing! But when I looked back around 25 minutes later, there were already over 10 people in line... As expected of Moritoneri! On this day, I went with the mutton curry with the B set as usual. The colors were beautiful, the mutton was chunky and the spices were well balanced and delicious. It wasn't too spicy at level 1, but the heat slowly built up afterwards... It was really tasty! When I left the restaurant, the line had grown even longer. There were probably over 20 people waiting. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal.

2021 New Year's holiday season seems to be busier than usual, right? For those tired bodies, a visit to a new restaurant can be a nice change of pace. I received a list of opening dates for the new year from someone, so I decided to try out a restaurant I hadn't been to before. Despite hearing that there might be long lines on weekends, I managed to get in without much waiting. I had done my homework and planned my order perfectly. The place was not too crowded, with just a couple of customers ahead of me. One of them was a bit problematic, though! I ordered the "Mutton Curry + Mini Set B + Egg" (1200 yen + 100 yen + 100 yen). The mini set included 150g of rice with coriander, which I love. And of course, I had to add an egg, my favorite! The visual presentation of the dishes was great, and the mutton curry looked delicious with chunks of mutton meat and various side dishes. I tried the mutton curry first and was pleasantly surprised by the rustic yet gentle flavors. I initially thought the spiciness level 3 was a bit mild, but it turned out to be just right. The rice was firm Japanese rice, and the side dishes included tangy burdock root and coconut-scented ingredients. The half-cooked egg added a nice touch to the meal. Overall, it was a great choice, and I enjoyed the combination of coriander and mutton. The coriander aroma was a bit subtle, maybe due to the season. It felt like experiencing both good and bad luck at the same time, but it set the tone for an interesting year ahead.

During the year-end and New Year holidays from the 2nd to the 3rd year of Reiwa, we had an unprecedented 11-day holiday due to the influence of the coronavirus. I tried various curry dishes and even made my own curry during the break, but on the last day off, I planned to eat curry in Ropponmatsu and buy books at Tsutaya! As I was getting ready to go out, I received an inquiry about a curry restaurant in Fujisaki from Captain My Leviche on LINE. After exchanging messages a few times, it was confirmed that the store would be open the next day based on my information, and the conversation ended there. I quickly moved to Ropponmatsu and chose this Mori Toneli, which was open from this day, among several candidates. It was just before 12 o'clock, and there was only one customer at the counter at the back! I took a seat at the counter, leaving one seat empty. I ordered the Pork Vindaloo A set (with papad and boiled egg) for 1,200 yen, choosing level 2 spiciness. After ordering, an older man entered as the next customer and sat at a table in the back. He had ordered the Mutton Curry with level 3 spiciness, topped with coriander and egg. At this point, I received another LINE message from Captain My Leviche with a photo of the exterior of Mori Toneli, saying that he ended up choosing this place. When I looked back, I saw Captain My Leviche!! He didn't notice my presence at all (^^) I sent him a mischievous message with a photo of the exterior of the restaurant and "It looks like you ordered the Mutton Curry with level 3 spiciness?" He finally noticed my presence and we both burst into laughter. I informed the master and moved to a table seat. As we started eating curry and talking about this funny coincidence, two more customers came in, greeting loudly and entering the store. After a while, Captain My Leviche noticed After Row's I〇be-chan and burst into laughter again!! It feels like hitting the jackpot when this group of people coincidentally come together at this restaurant at this time. I will also write my impressions of the curry, but the professional Pork Vindaloo was truly amazing with a refreshing acidity, spiciness, and umami. The variety of side dishes allowed for enjoyable flavor changes, and the crispy papad had a great texture. It had been a while since I last ate here shortly after it opened, and it has evolved and improved significantly. I have made Pork Vindaloo several times at home, but I think I learned a lot from this experience. However, with all the chatting, the only impression that comes to mind is that it was delicious haha. I would like to come back again to enjoy a leisurely meal.

I felt like going for a walk and having curry somewhere, but Kachina is off today. I looked it up and saw that the curry uncle over there has visited again and is praising it a lot, so I was curious and decided to visit. It's located in an apartment in a residential area. On holidays, there is usually a line outside, so being a local, I knew where it was, but when I entered, there were two customers at the tables. Since I was alone, I sat at the counter. I ordered the Dry Keema Curry with an egg topping, and asked for the spiciest level. I didn't look closely at the menu (the wall menu was far away, and it was a bit difficult for me to see), but I regretted not getting the Small Set with less rice and a good topping set. It was served in about 10 minutes. It was beautifully presented. Let's dig in. The Dry Keema had a lot of meaty flavor. It didn't have an overpowering spiciness, but it had a refreshing and well-balanced spiciness. I chose the spicy level, and it was just right for me. There were various side dishes that were enjoyable. Each bite had a different taste and was delicious. The rice portion was too much for me, so next time I'll order the Small size with a topping set. Thank you for the meal!

A good restaurant evolves. Even if the taste is already delicious, it continues to evolve every day. This restaurant is exactly like that. When I visited after a long time, it had evolved incredibly. The dry keema has a rich and punchy deliciousness, with the addition of bay leaf giving it a refreshing touch, making it a keema with unbelievable power and speed. It might be the most impactful keema I have had recently. The side dishes surrounding it are also fantastic. Pineapple and banana are used in some places, enhancing the fruity flavor of the wild curry. Nowadays, there are more curries that look good but lack substance, but this one is completely different. It is beautifully presented and incredibly delicious. The oyster achar is also exquisite. It captures the good aspects of oysters in a milky and spicy way. It's no wonder it has received a Michelin Plate award. It should be even more highly praised, as it is one of the leading restaurants in Fukuoka.

I arrived at 11:25 and there were already 8 people waiting. While waiting, there was a delicious smell of spices in the air! The line kept getting longer, with more people lining up behind. I was finally seated at 12:20. There were 3 counter seats and 2 table seats. The tables could seat 2 or 3 people each, totaling 7 seats. Since the owner was running the place alone, it was necessary to get in on the first round or else wait a long time. They serve South Indian curry. Level 1 spiciness is considered sufficient by the owner. Level 2 is a bit spicier than spicy retort curry. Level 3 is only recommended for those who really like spicy food. This time, I ordered the Chicken Chettinad for ¥1,000 and the Butter Keema for ¥1,000. The Butter Keema was the last one available. They also added a different curry halfway through. The gray powder on the rice is a mix of black sesame and coconut, and the yellow one is saffron-pickled eringi mushrooms. I couldn't quite identify the rest except for the sweet potato, but since it was spicy, I ended up mixing everything together. The flavors were very strong and delicious, but it didn't quite suit my taste. The person I went with, who had the Level 2 spiciness, said it was the spiciest they had ever had and they were sweating a lot! The owner was very friendly! Thank you for the meal! Paypay is accepted.

Located behind Daiho High School and NHK, this small spice curry shop has a few counter seats and a couple of two-person tables. I ordered the Chicken Chettinad, which is a dish named after a region in South India where traders from Southeast Asia used to frequent. The aroma was delightful, and the chicken was tender and delicious. My husband ordered the Coriander Curry, which was filled with lots of coriander as the name suggests. The curry itself was rich in spices and my coriander-loving husband was very satisfied. Initially, I thought the flavors were a bit mild, but as I continued eating, it reached the perfect level of richness, and the spiciness was just right as requested. The side vegetables like carrots, enoki mushrooms, and burdock were all familiar and added a nice touch. Inside the restaurant, the ventilation seemed lacking, and I could see dust on the kitchen's air conditioner from the counter seats, which was a bit disappointing. There were many topping options on the menu (and they were cheap), so I would like to try them next time.

I ordered the Pak Choi and Keema curry~ ('д') The spices were mild, and the texture of the Keema meat was the most impressive part of the dish. Curry is quite deep, it's surprising how opinions can differ... Although I'm not the captain, I might not be a fan of Keema... Well, it depends on the dish... I'm not sure if I'll come back, but it would be nice to have a menu with a variety of options to enjoy. It's a bit difficult when there are only Keema dishes available. Thank you for the meal. m(_ _)m
