I found a curry restaurant with a long queue!
I had work in Shiodome that day, and was looking for a place to have lunch near Shinbashi Station after 1pm, when I found a curry restaurant with a long queue in the basement of the Shinbashi Ekimae Building No. 1.
That’s why I went to the curry restaurant called “Kari Kari Shinbashi Honten”.
I’m a businessman, but I don’t know much about Shinbashi, and I’d never been to this restaurant before, but it seems to be a very famous restaurant.
I was surprised at how delicious the Indian curry was!
Even though it was past 1pm, there was already a queue in front of the restaurant.
The line was relatively short, so I decided to join it, and I was able to get in after only a few minutes.
Not knowing what to recommend, I ordered the Indian curry with a topping of soft-boiled egg (1,210 yen), but the Indian curry here is really delicious.
It’s a little spicier than the Yurakucho Marble (which has closed due to building reconstruction), but it has an indescribable flavor that you’ll find yourself coming back for more.
There was still a line when we left the shop, and I was surprised at how popular it was.
After that, many people told me, “This is a very famous shop,” and I was convinced that it really was that kind of shop.
