Soup Curry

Soup curry (スープカレー) is a dish to eat rice into soup using various spices with vegetables and meats. Only curry and rice was once a curry dish in Japan, but the soup curry has become popular for these 20 years. Ajanta (アジャンタ) and Magic Spice (マジックスパイス) in Sapporo sparked the soup curry boom, and it is said that the origin of the soup curry is medicinal cooking curry (薬膳カリィ) cooked by Mr. Muneo Tatsujiri (辰尻 宗男), ex-restraunt owner of the Ajanta, and a new genre of a curry dish has been established.

Soup Curry

A way of ordering is as follows. Customers should choose a type of curry from 8 types of curry, and should choose a type of hotness from 8 types of the hotnesses, and should choose a quantity of rice from 3 types of the rice quantity. I chose soup curry with a lot of vegetables (具だくさん野菜カレー), medium-spicy and a standard portion of the rice. The price was JPY 980. About 10 minutes later, the soup curry was served. Mass steam rised, and a fragrance of the spice aired from a piping hot earthenware pot. It seemed to be hot-looking soup curry. It is a characteristic of the Tenjiku that is served with this piping hot earthenware pot. It became richly flavored and tasted spicy. After eating, my body got hot.
