WHY IT'S A MESHI MAP PICK
Locals keep coming back. That is the real proof.
地元の人が、通い続ける。それが何よりの証明。
For over 40 years since 1982, Tomato in Ogikubo has stood unchallenged as the pinnacle of European-style curry in Japan.
1982年の創業以来40年以上にわたり荻窪の地で愛され続ける欧風カレーの頂点。
A blend of 36 spices simmered for more than 140 hours with Japanese beef produces a bowl so extraordinary that regulars line up before opening every single day—weekdays and weekends alike—repeatedly insisting it shouldn't be possible at 2,000–3,000 yen.
36種類のスパイスと140時間以上かけて煮込まれた和牛カレーは食べログカレーランキング日本1位・2,600件超の評価を誇り、「この値段でこの味は異常」と口をそろえるリピーターが平日休日を問わず開店前から行列を作る。
Ranked #1 in Japan on Tabelog's curry rankings with over 2,600 reviews, the iconic Tan Curry and Java Curry have long since transcended the category of "restaurant dish."
看板のタンカレーとジャワカレーは2,000〜3,000円という価格帯で日本最高峰のカレーを体験できる、替えの利かない一杯だ。

What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A sacred ground for European-style curry, simmered with 36 spices for about 140 hours. Tabelog's #1 curry rating in Japan. 5 min walk from Ogikubo Station; expect long lines.

"The best curry in Japan" — a frequent accolade. Lines even on weekdays; 90-minute waits are not unusual.
