curry nuka

We tried a new (to us) curry shop called Curry Nuka which is located in the Shibuya Scramble Square.

They only have 5 or 6 seats at a counter.

Order, pay and give your ticket to the kitchen staff.

They have 2 types of curry, pork or chicken.

(The pork curry is supposedly spicy.)

Satoshi chose the pork while I chose chicken.

This shop uses nekase genmai which is brown rice that is cooked in a pressure cooker then left for 3 or 4 days to develop a "chewy" texture to it which apparently makes it easier to eat.

Each dish is topped with all sorts of pickles, puffed rice, veggies.

You can also use the lemon vinegar or green chili soy sauce to change up the flavors.

Here is Satoshi's pork curry.

And my chicken curry.

We both added a spice egg...a medium boiled egg that is "buried" in curry spices.

I saw the person putting our curry together and she took the eggs out of the refridge.

I thought the egg would be ice cold when we were served, but it wasn't...whew.

We enjoyed these and will be back when we are in the area.
