This time, I visited "Always Sunny Above the Clouds" in Enmachi. This restaurant specializes in curry dishes and also offers a variety of side dishes. We tried the Assorted Side Dishes (3 items), two types of curry for 980 yen, Spicy Spare Ribs for 880 yen, and Homemade Ginger Ale for 420 yen. The Assorted Side Dishes will soon be available for dinner along with curry, where you can choose from 1 to 5 items. The Spicy Spare Ribs were marinated in a homemade herb sauce for 2 days and then baked in the oven, resulting in tender meat with a flavorful spice. The curries we tried were the Sea Bream Head Curry and the Salted Pork and Onion Curry. The Sea Bream Head Curry had a delicious broth made from sea bream and was accented with cardamom, while the Salted Pork and Onion Curry featured tender pork belly and sweet onions with perfectly balanced spices. The rice served with the curry had meringue and egg on top, which you mix in with the curry before eating. You can adjust the spiciness of the curry using homemade cayenne pepper and green chili powder. The Ginger Ale, made with Japanese ginger and 5 different spices, paired perfectly with the curries we tried.

Today, I had lunch at Enmachi and visited a curry restaurant I was curious about. The interior of the restaurant is small, with 4 counter seats, 3 seats, and 2 small tables for 2 people. The staff seemed to be handling everything alone, and during the busy lunch hour, they were quite busy. When I sat down, I debated whether to go for the weekday lunch set, but my greed got the best of me and I ordered the set with all 4 types of curry! For the side dishes, I chose homemade sesame tofu and a dish of purple sweet potato and shimeji mushrooms. The curry came with mixed grain rice, topped with vegetables like pumpkin and okra, as well as fluffy meringue-like egg. It was very healthy and delicious. Today's curry included red snapper head curry, vegetable dal curry, sweet and sour pork-style curry, and eggplant and fried tofu curry. The red snapper head curry was full of umami from the fish broth, while the vegetable dal curry was mild with lots of vegetables and a prominent broth flavor. I was surprised by the sweet and sour pork-style curry, as it really tasted like the dish but still matched well with the curry. The eggplant and fried tofu curry had tender eggplant and a slightly thick curry sauce, which was also delicious. The sesame tofu side dish was incredibly smooth and had a great texture. There was a mix-up with the other side dish, which was supposed to be paprika with sesame dressing, but I got a different dish with paprika that was still enjoyable. All the curries were not very spicy and had a subtle spice flavor, making them a healthy option that you could eat every day without feeling too heavy. It was a satisfying meal!

Order: Red snapper bone curry, salted pork and onion curry. Located a little south of Enmachi intersection. This place offers a unique curry with a hearty grain rice style. It's a delicious curry that overflows with goodness for your body. Another day of happiness through delicious food. Thank you for the meal.

I used it for lunch after a human dock at the Kyoto Factory Health Association. The interior of the shop is not large, but I think the atmosphere is nice. The menu varies depending on the season, such as curry with a Japanese touch, and you can choose from several types of curry depending on your mood that day. They are all delicious.

I ordered the Curry Assortment of 4 types. The four curries were "Thai Fish Head Curry," "Salted Pork and Flower Cabbage Curry," "Minestrone Stewed with Vegetables," and "Bamboo Shoot and Sichuan Pepper Keema Curry." It took quite a while before the dishes were served. Time passed leisurely. The excitement increased as the four types of curry were displayed on the tray! I took a bite of the Thai Fish Head Curry first. Wow! It's delicious! What a gentle curry. It has some spiciness, but not at all hot. It seems to be made with a broth cooked with fish heads. I feel both my heart and body rejoicing. The Salted Pork Curry and Keema Curry allowed me to savor the richness of the meat, very satisfying. However, I wanted more spiciness, so I sprinkled cayenne pepper and green chili powder from the condiments on the table. I must have sprinkled about seven times each, but it still wasn't extremely spicy. The moderate spiciness added to the nice spiciness, making it a delicious curry. Particularly noteworthy was the Minestrone Curry. It is a truly heartwarming curry that allows you to taste the sweetness of the vegetables. I have never had such a gentle Minestrone even without curry elements. It was really delicious. The rice was mixed grain rice, and it came with the "famous! Meringue egg" on top. This has a mysterious texture. When mixed with rice, it transforms into a fluffy egg. As I put the curry in my mouth and brought the mixed grain rice with meringue egg, I was eating it silently, completely absorbed. By the time I finished eating, perhaps due to the influence of the spices, I felt a pleasant sweat seeping from my body. The stay was quite long, but I really enjoyed a leisurely meal. I think this is not a shop for those in a hurry. There were families with small children who were eating happily. When I asked the owner, he said he also has a four-year-old child and makes curries that even his child can eat. Of course, children may dislike spices like pepper, but he kindly answered the interview that he makes curries centered around broth and vegetables. There also seems to be a soy milk coconut curry. I look forward to it next time I come. When I feel down, eating a curry that makes me feel gentle at this restaurant, my body circulation improves with the spices, and I feel like I can become more positive. Thank you so much for the delicious curry, "Above the Clouds is Always Swelling"! Grazie Mille!

Located south of Marucho in Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto City, this curry restaurant was discovered through reviews on Tabelog. It used to operate as a sublease business before evolving into an actual storefront. Upon entering the restaurant, the interior resembles a cafe. They emphasize using plenty of healthy vegetables in their cuisine. I opted for a plate with three types of curry. The rice seemed to be multigrain, topped with warm vegetables and fluffy eggs. The curries included three varieties made with unique ingredients like Thai fish stock. The spiciness and saltiness are kept mild, and those who prefer stronger flavors can add salt or spices from the table. After trying a bite, it reminded me of Japanese-style home-cooked dishes... It's quite tasty, but opinions may vary among curry enthusiasts. It's best to visit this unique curry restaurant knowing it offers unconventional curry dishes.

The spiced obanzai was a refreshing change. The attention to detail in serving hot water in an iron kettle was appreciated. The small dishes were all delicious and I wished there were more. I chose the sea bream curry, and the cake, likely flavored with ginger, was a delight for ginger lovers.

I am using vegetables from Kyoto Ohara, which are organically grown. The lunch set curry offers a choice of 1-4 types. I chose the curry with Chinese cabbage and clam broth. It is made with Kyoto Shizuhara's Chinese cabbage, which is sweet. The aroma of ginger and cinnamon increases your appetite. I also had a seasonal blend.

I went to the Curry Festival in Marucho and tried the festival exclusive menu where they flambe the rice, which was interesting. You can adjust the spiciness by adding your own spices, which is nice because you can make it to your liking. #MaruchoCurry #MaruchoCurryFestival #Curry #CurryFestival #Kyoto #KyotoGourmet #AlwaysSunnyAboveTheClouds

In Enmachi, known for its curry competition, I usually go to curry restaurants when eating in the area. This was my first visit here. There are four types of curry available, including one vegan option. Since I am not vegan, I ordered a trio of curries (Thai-style curry, beet curry, and keema curry). The curries here are not spicy at all, and you can adjust the heat by adding chili peppers and spices yourself. They were all delicious, but the curries here seem to be quite health-conscious or geared towards those with a high awareness of their diet.

You can choose from one kind of curry to four kinds of curry, with the amount of curry changing as the number of types increases. I chose the three kinds of curry, which was just the right amount. There are interesting curries like beet curry, sea bream curry, and sake lees curry. By default, they are not spicy, but you can adjust the spiciness yourself with cayenne pepper on the table. The taste was not to my liking as it was different from what I look for in curry, but it seems to appeal to many people. The restaurant seemed to have a lot of regular customers, and there were also many solo diners.

A curry restaurant that specializes in using dashi. You can adjust the taste with spices and salt. The curry was delicious and the atmosphere of the restaurant was great. @curry.kyoto #AlwaysSunnyAboveTheClouds #LunchAtAlwaysSunnyAboveTheClouds #Curry #CurryRice #SpicyCurry #WantToConnectWithCurryLovers #Marucho #MaruchoGourmet #MaruchoLunch #MaruchoCurry #Kyoto #KyotoGourmet #KyotoLunch #KyotoCurry

During yesterday's stroll in Kyoto, we visited a curry restaurant called "Above the Clouds is Always Sunny." My wife and I ordered a lunch set with two types of curry each. We could choose from four curry options and ten side dishes. It was a lovely set for the two of us. Since there were two of us, we got to try all four curry options. Additionally, they were offering a special for their first anniversary where you could switch the regular rice for black rice with bamboo shoots. You could also order dessert, which came with a drink (although we didn't order it so I can't confirm). The curry was not very spicy (almost none) but you could adjust the spice level with the spices on the table. Each curry had a nice, gentle flavor with the taste of the ingredients coming through. The side dishes were also delicious, with so many options it was hard to choose. They also pay attention to the table water they serve, which has a unique taste, but they also offer mineral water if you prefer. Overall, it was a filling and delicious meal of kind and tasty curry. Thank you for the meal.

I had the Spice Oden, Chicken Keema Curry with Taro, and AKI Blend Coffee. The Spice Oden came with mustard seeds and a spice miso paste. The spice miso paste tasted like curry spices that had been simmered down. I got so caught up in enjoying the Oden with my beer that I forgot to take a picture when the curry arrived. The Keema curry was served on a bed of rice with plenty of minced chicken. It was topped with an egg, and the egg white was whipped into a meringue, showing the attention to detail. The broth was rich and satisfying. They mentioned that you could adjust the spiciness with cayenne pepper and other condiments on the table, but I felt like I wanted a bit more spiciness in the curry itself. I'll definitely come back to try the other curries soon. The area along Nishioji Street, from Nishikyogoku to Ninjoencho, Bakuro-cho, and Shiraume-cho, has become a must-visit spot in Kyoto's curry scene.

Started as a pop-up curry shop at Shijo-Karasuma, they opened a permanent store in Marutamachi this April. Their curry, labeled as "Spice Curry," focuses on the umami of dashi broth rather than relying too much on spices. They incorporate Japanese flavors like bonito dashi and sansho pepper to create a mild and well-rounded taste. The lunch set includes a daily curry selection of 1 for 920 yen or 2 for 980 yen, served with meringue egg rice, vegetables, and 2 side dishes. Choose between the "Tai Ara Curry," made with dashi from sea bream heads and flaked fish meat, and the "Kabocha and Basil Curry," a blend of pumpkin potage and basil paste. Mix the Shiga-grown Kinuhikari and black rice with meringue egg before adding the curry. Adjust the spiciness to your liking with cayenne pepper and green chili spices. The set also comes with a choice of side dishes (carrot kinpira or Dauphinoise potatoes), leaving you both satisfied and content.

Recently, I tried a unique dish at a restaurant in Umeda called the "Egg White Meringue Rice Bowl." It had a striking appearance, but the taste was hard to describe. Intrigued, I visited a similar-looking curry restaurant in the area. To my surprise, it was not just a regular curry place. The lunch set offered a variety of options to customize your meal, including choosing two types of curry and two side dishes from a selection of eight. I opted for the Fresh Tomato and Edamame Chicken Curry and the Pork Keema Curry with Eggplant. The meal also came with a choice of white rice or mixed grain rice. The curry itself was not too bold in flavor, catering more towards a health-conscious crowd. I added some cayenne pepper, green chili, and salt from the condiments on the table, but it didn't make a significant difference. Overall, it was a satisfying and slightly unique lunch experience. As a side note, I initially went for the Egg White Meringue Rice Bowl, but if I were to revisit, I would choose the omelette or spiced egg instead. The meringue egg itself didn't have a distinct flavor. The most memorable part of the meal for me was actually the complimentary cold water served in an iron teapot, which was meant to remove minerals and improve the taste. When I drank it, it left a sticky sensation on my tongue, reminiscent of drinking tasteless bottled tea. Strangely, despite drinking water, I felt thirsty afterwards.

In Kyoto's Nakagyo Ward (JR Marutamachi), it's always sunny above the clouds. ♡ Two types of curry [Thai-style fish curry, shrimp coconut curry] with a gentle spiced flavor. Choose from two side dishes: spicy fried chicken or simmered new potatoes with minced meat. #AlwaysSunnyAboveTheClouds #Marutamachi #NishiojiStreet #TaishidoStreet #Curry #SpicedCurry #DashiCurry #ThaiStyleFishCurry #ShrimpCoconutCurry #EggYolkDestroyed #KyotoGourmet #KyotoFoodTour #Aiuemo #AiuemoKyotoGourmet ↓Aiuemo Kyoto Gourmet Summary↓ #AiuemoKyotoGourmet ↓Aiuemo Curry Summary↓ #AiuemoCurry

I wanted to eat curry and went to Karil, but there was a long line. So, I decided to try this other restaurant that I was curious about. It was just before lunchtime, with only 2 customers ahead of me and no customers behind me. I ordered the red snapper curry and chicken and chickpea side dish (served in small cups, to pour over the rice) for 950 yen. I chose mixed grain rice instead of white rice. For the side dishes, I chose seasonal vegetable pickles and turmeric new onions. The colorful plate was brought to me in a few minutes. As I ate, I felt like something was missing or not quite what I expected. First, the curry in the cups was lukewarm, almost cold. I noticed similar reviews mentioning that the curry was lukewarm in the previous location. I wonder if this is a deliberate choice by the restaurant? I ate quietly, but somehow... Also, the gentle broth and mild saltiness made the curry flavor seem a bit dull to me. The restaurant focuses on health, so they use less oil, which may have muted the aroma of the various spices and the spiciness. Additionally, the default topping of egg whites and yolks seemed to overshadow the curry flavor for me. While I understand it's part of the restaurant's policy, I wish the egg whites and yolks could be optional or served on a separate plate. Looking at the restaurant's website, they use organic vegetables and eggs from a specific farm known for its folic acid content. They seem to have various commitments and considerations. When dining out, I prioritize taste that suits my palate over health, as I already pay attention to eating healthily in my daily life. Even if it's not the healthiest, I want to prioritize flavors that I enjoy occasionally. Therefore, this curry didn't suit my taste. It's not spicy, visually appealing, and popular among health-conscious people. I realized that I prefer curry with plenty of oil, sautéed spices, and a strong flavor profile like at Karil or Mujara. It was a new restaurant, and with limited reviews, I visited without much knowledge, so I learned the importance of reviews. There are curry lovers like me who may feel the same way, so I hope this review is helpful.

In Kyoto's Nakagyo Ward (JR Enmachi), it's always sunny above the clouds. ♡ [2 kinds of curry] Red snapper bone curry and firefly squid black curry. The red snapper bone curry has a nice acidity, while the firefly squid curry has a rich and gentle flavor with a hint of dashi. Served with fluffy meringue egg over rice. You can choose side dishes, with the option of roast beef. Choose between white rice or mixed grain rice. Unfortunately, black rice was sold out when I went in the late hours. #AlwaysSunnyAboveTheClouds #Enmachi #NishiojiStreet #TaishidoStreet #Curry #SpicyCurry #DashiCurry #RedSnapperBoneCurry #FireflySquidBlackCurry #SoupCurry #EggYolkBreak #KyotoGourmet #KyotoFoodWalk #Aiuemo #AiuemoKyotoGourmet #AiuemoCurry #AiuemoKyotoGourmetCompilation #AiuemoCurryCompilation
