Chuka Oshima
A famous Kashiwa spot 7 minutes walk from Kashiwa Station South Exit—despite the name 'Chuka' (Chinese), it's a curry specialist. Founded in 1982, now exclusively devoted to curry. Selected as Tabelog Curry EAST Top 100 (2023, 2024). The signature 'Shahijal Curry' with unique spice blend has loyal fans. Affordable from ¥900, it draws local curry enthusiasts seeking genuine spice curry. Operating lunch only, it's a legendary lunch destination.
'It says Chinese restaurant but it's a curry shop—been a regular at this Kashiwa landmark for 10 years.' 'The depth of spice in the Shahijal Curry is otherworldly. You can't believe it's ¥900.' 'Hard to visit because they're lunch only, but still worth lining up for.' 'You can feel the power of a long-established shop where the 1982 recipe lives on.'
