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。
A spice curry destination in Nara, awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand consecutively from 2022 through 2025, and also named to Tabelog's Asian Ethnic Top 100 in 2024.
ミシュランガイド奈良のビブグルマンに2022年から4年連続選出された、奈良を代表するスパイスカレーの名店。
The kitchen draws generously on Yamato ingredients, weaving Nara's terroir into each thali plate (2,300 yen) — a price regulars call almost unbelievably good value for a Michelin-recognised table.
大和の食材を惜しみなく使い、奈良の風土に寄り添ったターリー（2,300円）は「ミシュランビブグルマン店でこの価格はあり得ない」と絶賛される。
No reservations are taken, and arriving right at opening is no guarantee of a first-seating spot.
予約不可で昼は行列必至、「時間ぴったりに来ても1巡目には入れない」という常連の声が人気を物語る。
The shop also appeared in a Nara tourism campaign starring actor Ryohei Suzuki, cementing its status as the city's definitive curry address.
鈴木亮平出演のいざいざ奈良CMにも取り上げられ、奈良のカレーといえばここという地位を確立している。
