Around 12 o'clock on Saturday, if you visit from Kyoto city, you will see a large chimney for a stone oven when you turn left at the Chiyoharaguchi intersection. There are three parking spaces directly across the street from the shop on Monji Street. The exterior is easy to recognize with its large silver chimney for the stone oven. However, the inside is not very visible, so entering may require some courage. Inside, there are a few counter seats and tables. The shop itself is small in scale. When we entered, the young master and young mistress greeted us warmly. There were no other customers at the time, so we were seated at a table. I ordered the curry lunch set (850 yen) and my wife ordered the homemade Margherita pizza lunch set. We also ordered the Tandoori chicken wings (two pieces) (250 yen). The lunch set comes with homemade salad or soup and a drink, with the choice varying each day. We had soup and a drink on that day. You can choose from coffee, tea, cola, orange juice, pineapple juice, or oolong tea. We both chose coffee. The soup arrived first, which was an onion and ginger soup. It was a light soup with just the right amount of salt, and the flavors of the onion and ginger were subtly infused. Later, the mistress explained that it was a cold day, so they wanted to warm us up with the ginger. This thoughtful gesture was much appreciated. Next, the Margherita pizza was served. The crust was chewy and had a good wheat flavor. The cheese was plentiful, and the sauce tasted like natural tomatoes. The basil sauce had a nice blend of basil and olive oil, which was delicious. The portion size was just right. The curry was served hot in a sizzling dish. It was homemade curry with a rich flavor, topped with plenty of cheese. The rice was slightly firm, and the combination of flavors made it a very tasty dish. It was my first time trying baked curry, so I couldn't compare it, but I was very satisfied with the taste and heat. The Tandoori chicken wings were served next. The portion was not large, but the charred edges were just right, enhancing the flavor of the chicken. Finally, the coffee arrived, which was also good. Afterwards, I had a conversation with the master, who humbly mentioned that they are still working on perfecting their stone oven techniques. They are very passionate about their craft, and I secretly look forward to what they will come up with in the future. They also mentioned making bread with just flour, salt, and yeast, and I tried a piece for 100 yen. It had a simple taste, with a good balance of salt, and the more you chewed, the more flavor came out. In conclusion, the baked curry was outstanding. The other dishes were of high quality as well. The cost performance was quite good, and their passion for exploring flavors makes this a promising restaurant. The mistress mentioned that the master is very particular about the salt levels, and for someone who prefers lighter flavors like us, we were very impressed.
