I finally visited this place in Fushimi Ward that I had been interested in for a while. I arrived at around 12:15 and there were 2 customers already inside. I was a bit worried about the lack of customers at this time, but my main goal was to try their one-coin service menu, which was curry soba. The curry soba that arrived in about 5 minutes was small in size, but tasty and a bit spicy. It was a bit too spicy for me, and I ended up sweating. The portion of rice was quite large, even larger than what you would get at a ramen shop for an extra order of rice. After finishing the noodles, I added the rice and it was delicious curry rice, but there wasn't enough curry sauce for the amount of rice. The price of 500 yen was very reasonable, but it might be a bit small for men. I saw a man at the next table with a large portion of curry rice, so I would like to try that next time.

Near the Kintetsu Kyoto Line "Takeda" station, I noticed a sign for curry at a restaurant called "Spicy Heart" and decided to stop by. From the name, I expected to be able to enjoy a curry with a lot of spices. I parked my car in a coin parking lot, but the restaurant also has parking space for 3 cars, so please check the exact location in the photos. Inside the restaurant, there was a slim large TV, counter seats, and a dart board with a list of tournament winners, indicating that it turns into a darts bar at night. Behind the counter seats near the kitchen, bottles of whiskey and other alcohol were displayed, creating a bar-like atmosphere. However, during the day, it serves as a curry and lunch spot for housewives and office workers. The lunch sets that the people next to me were eating (such as chicken cutlet or fried chicken set) seemed quite filling, but I stood my ground and ordered the ¥500 one-coin "Homemade Curry Udon Lunch." The restaurant was run by two older sisters, with about 8 counter seats and 3 table blocks. The dish arrived after about 10 minutes, and it was curry udon with a side of small rice, which felt a bit small in terms of portion size. However, when I tasted it, the thick and spicy curry, with about three pieces of beef added, was delicious. It was a bit disappointing that there were no green onions in the beef curry udon, but I could sense their dedication to the dish. The udon noodles were angular in shape and paired well with the curry. The older sister advised me to eat the rice with curry at the end, allowing me to enjoy it like a dry curry. Overall, considering the price of ¥500, the atmosphere and service were decent. I would like to try the other ¥750 lunch sets as well. With the one-coin lunch in mind, I would rate it 3.5 stars out of 5 (68/100).

There is another cafe restaurant near Takeba Station. It is located a little south. The place is very new, clean, and well-maintained. On this day, I was very thirsty and they kindly kept refilling my water without any complaints (thank you). I had curry, which the restaurant aims to be spicy, but it was not very spicy and was okay. There is nothing particularly special about this place, but it might be a good option for a break.

It's a very cozy and welcoming place. Even if you go alone, the owner and staff are friendly and will greet you warmly, inviting you to sit at the counter. They don't smother you with attention, but they also don't neglect you - it's just the right amount of service. They have a good selection of drinks, and even if it's not on the menu, they will happily make it for you. The food ranges from homemade dishes to pre-made ones, all of which are delicious and satisfyingly filling. It's a dart-focused establishment, so it's a recommended spot for dart players!

[Location] A few minutes walk from the subway and Kintetsu Takeda Station, but if you go by car, the parking lot is in a hard-to-find place. [Food, Taste] I had the shrimp fry curry. It cost 900 yen, but the portion was quite small, leaving a sense of dissatisfaction especially for men. The shrimp fry was small, and the curry itself wasn't particularly tasty. [Service] They guided me to the parking lot, and the service was good. [Price, Value for Money] Considering the taste and portion, the 900 yen curry is expensive. [Good Points] The service is good. [Bad Points] I wish they could lower the cost a bit more.

Spicy Heart, located near Fushimi-Takeda Station in Kyoto, was not a good choice for dinner. The interior was more like a bar with darts, and I reluctantly ordered the chicken katsu curry for 850 yen. The curry seemed store-bought and lacked any homemade touch. Considering the portion and taste, I felt the price was quite high. The service was good, but overall, it was disappointing. I don't think it's a good place to go for dinner, especially at night.

I visited the restaurant for dinner. When I entered the restaurant, the atmosphere was nice and dimly lit, with a bar where you could also have a meal. I sat at a table and ordered the Shrimp Fry Curry for 900 yen. Before the dish arrived, a complimentary soup was served. The curry had a mature taste, with a strong spiciness that I, as a fan of spicy food, found very delicious. However, I felt that the portion size was a bit small. I was impressed by the attention to detail, such as the restaurant's name on the tableware and ashtrays. While I was eating, I noticed some regular customers playing darts in the back, having a great time. It seems like darts bars are popular these days. I thought about trying it out next time as I left the restaurant.
