I was able to try a deliciously spicy curry!
I finished work at Shinagawa Seaside just after 11am, but there weren’t many shops around, so I decided to head to Shinjuku.
I was in a rush to find a restaurant on the train, but I spotted a curry shop that caught my eye.
That’s why I visited the “Fish Shinjuku Branch” in Nishi-Shinjuku 7-chome.
As it was my first visit, I had some trouble finding the entrance, but I eventually found the restaurant and went up the stairs to enter.
I arrived just after 12:15, so I was prepared to wait in line, but to my surprise I was able to get in without any trouble.
The restaurant is called “Fish Shinjuku”, so I ordered the 3-kind platter with white fish as the main curry without hesitation.
It’s a so-called spicy curry, but it was incredibly delicious.
The legendary taste passed down by a big fan of the shop
Fish was originally located in Roppongi.
It opened in Ark Hills in 1986, and despite having only 8 seats, it was a legendary restaurant that sold 300 lunches a day.
However, the owner became elderly and “was no longer able to fry large quantities of onions for hours every day”, and this coincided with the renewal of Ark Hills, so the restaurant closed in June 2017 to the regret of many.
After that, the current owner, who was a big fan of “Fish”, took over the business and opened the current restaurant in Nishi-Shinjuku in June 2018, carrying on the recipe as it was.
According to the owner, the key to the recipe is the onions, which are chopped up in large quantities and fried until they turn a caramel color all day long.
The curry at Fish Shinjuku is truly exquisite, made by combining over 20 spices in a magical way.
The curry at Fish, which could have become a “legendary taste”, continues to fill the stomachs of many curry lovers to this day, with the same taste as it always has.
