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。
Founded in 1924, this shop is living culinary history — the oldest curry restaurant in Jinbocho and the establishment that put Sumatra-style curry on the map in Tokyo.
1924年創業、神保町に100年以上根を張るカレー界の生きた歴史で、スマトラカレーというジャンルそのものを神保町に定着させた唯一の存在。
Its blend of 26 spices, unchanged since opening, is served with a signature grilled apple that has become as iconic as the curry itself, drawing students and salarymen alike for over a century.
26種のスパイスを独自配合したカレーに焼きりんごを添えるスタイルは創業以来変わらず、学生からサラリーマンまでを魅了し続けてきた。
Lunch lines of 30 or more people and communal seating are simply part of the experience, and multiple appearances on Tabelog's Curry Tokyo 100 Selections confirm that 1,200–1,500 yen is a small price for a piece of Tokyo's food history.
昼時には30人超の行列・相席当たり前という光景が日常で、カレーTOKYO百名店に複数回選ばれた実績が、1,200〜1,500円という価格の正しさを静かに証明している。

What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Established 1924 (Taisho 13) — Jimbocho's oldest curry shop. A rich Sumatran curry simmered with 26 spices plus meat and vegetable umami, beloved for over a century. Baked apple dessert is a must-have.

"Moved by a flavor that's endured since the Taisho era." "The baked apple dessert is the perfect ending." "Don't mind the line." Long-form Tabelog reviews describe it as a 'Sumatran curry that defies evaluation.'
