First of all, when it comes to game meat, deer is often mentioned, but in fact, all wild animals targeted for hunting are defined as game meat. This includes deer, wild boar, wild rabbit, bears, as well as mountain doves, mallards, teal, pintails, wigeons, mandarin ducks, pheasants, coots, and even recently popular crows. In France, rare birds like godwits, as well as unusual animals like nutrias and muskrats, are also included. Completely wild game meat is called "sauvage", while semi-wild game meat is called "demi-sauvage". Today, I ordered the lunch special which includes a variety of game meats (this is the only menu available). I had wild boar and apple with sansho curry, ginger honey chicken curry, and oyster curry. The owner was not present, but I was seated 15 minutes earlier than my reservation time. The curry was served in about 6 minutes with no specific explanation. I started with the oyster curry, which was full of umami from the oysters and very delicious. It had a good level of spiciness and a strong umami taste. Next, I tried the wild boar and apple with sansho curry, which I was most curious about. Surprisingly, there was no gamey smell, and the meat had a minced texture similar to pork but with a sweet taste. Lastly, I had the ginger honey chicken curry, which had tender meat and was also very tasty. It was a good choice to start with the game meat curry. The curries were all delicious. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Open on Sundays. Made a reservation via Instagram DM the day before. Kitami and Setagaya are areas I rarely visit, but they seem livable with plenty of greenery and affordable parking. Reserved for 12:00 and all 5 seats were full. The seating and the restaurant are indeed cramped. The restaurant is famous for game meat, but this day's main dish was Tsukinowaguma (moon bear). It was a rough minced keema, but once I started eating, I couldn't stop because it was so delicious. The texture and spice were outstanding. The other two dishes, chicken and pork, were also delicious. I'm not a fan of cilantro, but it blended in smoothly and enhanced the flavor. I was worried about the portion size, but I finished it in no time. Left the restaurant in about 10 minutes. I'd like to come back for dinner next time.

As expected, game meat is delicious and fun, especially when it is prepared as a confit with beetroots. The wine pairs well with the dish, and this time we also received seafood from Hokkaido, including delicious hokkigai clams. The confit of ayu fish was a delightful addition, allowing us to savor the creatures of the sea, mountains, and rivers.

Today's curry set at Beet Eat includes Tsukinowaguma and wild boar with lime curry, pork and sansho pepper curry, and shrimp curry for 2200 yen. Beet Eat, which sometimes opens for lunch on weekends and holidays, had the perfect timing for a visit this time. Reservations are made through Instagram, and the menu consists of a variety set of the day. There was no explanation of which curry was which, and I missed the chance to ask due to being busy chatting with other friendly customers. I guessed that the pork curry was the one with sansho pepper as I took my first bite. The rice was a bit too firm for my liking, just a step away from being soft. Not soft enough to be enjoyable, so the deliciousness was reduced by half. The shrimp curry was on the sweeter side with plenty of tomatoes, with a taste reminiscent of demiglace sauce. Unfortunately, this wasn't to my liking either. The best part was the side dish of eggplant. The portion size was generous, and I left feeling full. I had been here twice before and remembered enjoying the food, so perhaps it depends on the menu items. However, since you can't imagine the taste based on the menu names, it seems to be a matter of luck.

The restaurant is ranked high in the Tabelog curry ranking and it's a place that serves game meat, which I really like. I've been curious about it for a while and finally managed to make a reservation when I saw the menu for this day. The curry - Tsukinowaguma and beef offal curry, bean curry, and pork and cinnamon curry can be summed up in one word: too greasy. Except for the bean curry, the oil is separating. The pork and cinnamon curry is still okay, but the Tsukinowaguma and offal curry, which already has a strong beef offal flavor, is even more oily. It's overwhelming. Furthermore, the spices here are quite unique and may not be to everyone's liking. I really enjoy spice curry and have tried various kinds, but this one I found to be not to my taste. The restaurant is also quite small and not very relaxing. I love game meat, so I was thinking of going at night, but I'm not a fan of this cramped space. I won't be going back for a second visit.

I have been to this restaurant at night several times, but it was my first time going for lunch. I was able to make a reservation and I went. The chicken biryani and wild boar spicy curry for lunch were delicious. The food is amazing at night as well, but it can be hard to get a reservation because they have limited seating and only one staff member. I recommend going at night! I was truly impressed.

Kitami Station is a 2-minute walk away. There are only 6 seats at the counter. Lunch is available on weekends. Information and reservations can be made on Instagram. Today's order is limited to one choice, so there is no need to place an order. The set for today is either plum and pork curry, wild boar and green pepper curry, or lentil and mung bean sprout curry. The curry was so delicious that I finished it in less than 10 minutes, completely absorbed in the taste. The wild boar had no unpleasant smell and left a lingering flavor. Even those who are not fond of game meat may find it delicious with the ingredients used at this restaurant. The plum must be doing a great job. The preparation seems to be well done. The balance of flavors is excellent. The side dishes of eggplant and potatoes were also nicely done. I would like to make a reservation and visit this delicious restaurant again. Thank you for the meal.

Restaurant Review: 3.87 Curry Top 100 Stores 2022 Store number 62/100 I think I confirmed the business days on Instagram and made a reservation 12:00 No waiting Today's curry was Dal and Purslane Plum and Pork Curry Wild boar curry was also written as Curry

This is a venison curry. You have to make a reservation on SNS. It has to be done through DM. I've never done it before! It seems difficult! If there is an announcement of the menu on Instagram, you can make a reservation. I was planning to go on Saturday, so I checked Instagram every day. The menu announcement was not there on Friday morning. Oh no! Around noon on Friday, it was there. I hurriedly sent a DM. But there was no response. I wonder if DMs show as read like LINE? In the evening, I got an OK reply! Yes! To make sure I didn't miss it, I took the train to get there. I arrived right at 12 o'clock. I was the first one there. The pork and plum curry was delicious! It was like pork vindaloo with a plum flavor added. The meat was firm. The wild boar keema was rich in flavor. The cilantro was a nice touch. It was delicious. The quality is high. It was a tasty meal. Thank you.

I had been eagerly waiting for the opportunity to visit this restaurant, recommended by curry and spice lovers on Instagram. When I saw an opening for dinner on the day I was going to Tokyo, I immediately made a reservation. It turns out that it was the perfect timing as they were transitioning from bear to deer hot pot, with bear being the more popular choice. This restaurant serves curry for lunch and only offers a deer hot pot course for dinner. The dishes I ordered included spiced edamame, domestic cider, grilled corn with plum, paprika and mozzarella, sweetfish confit, whitebait fritters, wild boar and coriander dumplings, and wild boar and deer hot pot with a variety of vegetables from Tohoku. I also added some sake and finished with wild boar vindaloo. Every dish was delicious, but surprisingly, the curry at the end was the highlight. The restaurant focuses on natural ingredients, offering natural wines, additive-free vegetables, and unique dishes featuring game meat, spices, and curry. They also have a selection of interesting and high-quality drinks. Overall, it's a truly one-of-a-kind restaurant that values natural food and drink.

Located a 1-minute walk from Kitami Station North Exit on the Odakyu Line (Kitami Station is the next station from Seijogakuenmae Station). In the Kitami Castle Wa Heights basement 1st floor. Across from "Chinese Cuisine Kiraku" in the building. There are several dining options in the area. In the basement 1st floor of Kitami Castle Wa Heights, there are "Izakaya Umemaru" and "Philippine Snack Boracay" in addition to beet eat. Beet eat is located at the back of the basement 1st floor. I visited for lunch this time. When the announcement about the lunch operation for the week is posted on the store's Instagram, I make a reservation via direct message. In the direct message, I write down the day (Saturday or Sunday), name, number of people, and desired time of arrival. I received a surprisingly quick reply. (Reservation confirmed) I arrived 2 minutes before the reserved time. The interior of the restaurant has a bar-like atmosphere with only 6 counter seats. There were already individuals dining on both sides of the 6 seats. I told the female owner my name and took a seat at the center of the counter. From 14:00 to 14:30 on this day, 3 out of the 6 counter seats were occupied. The curry was served with three types: 1. Wild boar and apple curry 2. Moon bear, beef tripe, and lime curry 3. Dal curry. The side dishes included curry-flavored potato salad and stir-fried eggplant. The game curry with perfectly spiced flavors was very delicious. It was my first time trying it, but it was very enjoyable. Thank you for the meal. I paid 2,200 yen in cash and left. I was treated very politely even as a first-time visitor. I am also very interested in the game course for dinner, but it seems that reservations are required and they accept bookings for 2 people or more. I will need to find a friend to go with. That's all.

The female shop owner is very particular about hunting and cooking, making it a wonderful shop! The bear and deer dishes were delicious, but the vegetables, especially the bell peppers, were amazing ❤️ Each vegetable was carefully selected for its origin, very large, and had a sweet taste! I would love to try the curry next time!

Two minutes walk from the north exit of Kitami Station on the Odakyu Line. A restaurant in the underground serving game curry. You can make a reservation via DM on Instagram, so it's recommended to reserve in advance. A female chef who hunts the game herself runs the restaurant. For lunch, there is one menu option which is curry lunch. Today's options were Chicken Biryani and Wild Boar Keema Curry. Also served was a cherry raita with yogurt flavor. The large portion of Biryani was surprising. The flavor of the chicken and the aroma of the spices were delightful. Biryani is a dish commonly found in other restaurants, but this one might be the most delicious I've had. The Wild Boar Keema was incredibly delicious. It was my first time trying wild boar, and it was surprisingly tasty. There was no hint of the typical gamey smell, which was a miracle. Perhaps it's due to the cooking method. The chef is easy to talk to, and I look forward to going back to try other game curries. For dinner, they offer a full course of game dishes at a price comparable to high-end restaurants. I definitely want to go. Thank you for the meal.

I made a lunch reservation through Instagram. Two days later, I received a reply and managed to make a reservation. The restaurant is unique in serving game curry, located about a 1-minute walk from Kitami Station, with only 5 counter seats available. The lunch set includes only one option: Chicken Biryani, Wild Boar Keema Curry, and Cherry Raita for 2200 yen. The biryani is rich in spices and the cilantro adds a nice touch, giving a spicy sensation that lingers through the nose and tastes delicious. The chicken is plentiful and satisfying. The wild boar keema doesn't have a strong gamey taste, but the spiciness is just right for me. I mixed everything together halfway through, and it was also delicious. I enjoyed it until the end. Thank you for the meal. Next time, I would like to come when they have bear or deer curry on the menu.

I went to a game meat restaurant near Kitami Station on the Odakyu Line. We started with a German Riesling natural wine for a toast. The menu included sweet corn soup with marinated paprika and mozzarella cheese, grilled asparagus and young corn with Parmesan cheese, wild boar and coriander shumai, and grilled venison (one-year-old female). The highlight was the bear hot pot and bear cooked rice, which was the most delicious cooked rice I have ever had. I ended up getting two extra servings of the bear cooked rice. Even though the bear season is ending soon, I hope they continue to offer it. I will definitely come back in winter. Thank you for the delicious meal! (●´ω｀●)

On a hot day in GW, I had the curry set today. I had curry with amberjack and mustard, curry with lime and wild boar, Chettinad chicken curry, and rice with eggplant and potatoes on the side. The fatty amberjack was rich yet refreshing. The wild boar had no strong taste and the occasional lime added a nice touch. The chicken paired well with cardamom. The bitterness of the mountain vegetables mixed with the potatoes was pleasant. I would love to go back at night as well.

Located right near Kitami Station, this hidden gem of a restaurant offers curry for lunch and game meat with natural wine for dinner. The cozy space has a counter with 6 seats, where the owner, a female hunter, personally hunts the game meat and prepares it for customers, sharing details like whether it's male or female and where it was hunted. The combination of spices that bring out the wild taste of the game meat creates unforgettable flavors. The restaurant is open irregularly for lunch, so be sure to check their Instagram (@BEET_EAT_2015) for updates. I ordered the "Daily Curry Set" for ¥2200, which featured a trio of curries: Green Chili Lemon Curry, Wild Boar and Butterbur Shoot Curry, and Turnip Curry. The Green Chili Lemon Curry had two large pieces of chicken with a quick burst of spiciness and deep umami flavors. The Wild Boar and Butterbur Shoot Curry was a Keema curry made with ground wild boar, offering a gentle sweetness and surprisingly refreshing taste. The Turnip Curry had a crunchy texture from coriander and a mild heat that warms the palate. Despite being the spiciest, it felt like a dessert. All curries had coriander, but it added a transparent freshness without being overpowering, complementing the dishes perfectly.

Beet Eat @ Kitami Lunch Curry Set 2200 yen (Wild boar and Sansho pepper curry, Chicken and Mustard curry, Eggplant curry) Located just a 1-minute walk from Kitami Station on the Odakyu Line, Beet Eat is a restaurant run by a female owner who is also a hunter, serving game dishes she has personally hunted. The restaurant is tucked away in a slightly hard-to-find location, but you can find it by going down the stairs next to the brown brick-style building (Kitami Castle Wa Heights) across from the Chinese restaurant Kiraku at the north exit of the station. The lunch menu offers a curry set with three varieties: wild boar and Sansho pepper curry, chicken and mustard curry, and eggplant curry. The set includes turmeric rice, subji (stir-fried greens), and mustard-flavored mashed potatoes on a single plate. The wild boar and Sansho pepper curry features a rich flavor of minced wild boar and a Japanese-style taste with the addition of Sansho pepper. The chicken and mustard curry contains large chunks of chicken with a perfect blend of mustard and cilantro flavors. The eggplant curry has a paste-like texture with a mild spice profile, serving as a refreshing palate cleanser. While one might expect game curry to have a wild taste, the flavors and spicing are subtle, providing a gentle and natural taste experience that gradually warms the body and leaves you feeling refreshed after the meal. Before opening the restaurant, the owner taught macrobiotic cooking classes, focusing on using organic ingredients to maintain a healthy body. She now sources organic vegetables, seasonings, and biodynamic wines to create dishes that are as close to nature as possible. Her journey to using game meat was a result of her preference for organic meat and a desire for a more natural option, ultimately leading her to wild game meat from Matagi hunting. The spicing is influenced by traditional Indian medicine, Ayurveda, with each curry carefully crafted to consider its health benefits. After finishing a meal at Beet Eat, you'll feel warm, energized, and ready to take on the day. It's a true power spot for food in Kitami.

This is a curry restaurant located at Kitami Station. You can make a reservation via dm on Instagram. They apparently serve game hot pot at night, which is in line with their curry style. The menu includes wild boar, squid, and chicken. The chicken was tender and paired well with the squid's flavor, and the curry was delicious. I love wild boar skin, so I was satisfied.

The best game meat restaurant is Beat Ito. When I try game meat at other places based on this, I often feel like "Hmm...". The meat is delicious, the vegetables are tasty, and the atmosphere is nice. And I always look forward to the curry as a finishing touch, even after eating a lot. I chose the wrong restaurant to compare with...
