Tasty curry and herbal soda. Has an immaculate atmosphere, seems like a cross between Restaurant, bar, and exhibition with homely vibes thats situated in some kind of garage. Dim light and very relaxed vibes, loved the music! Very special and lovely place.

Amazing vintage building filled with vintage books. Great drinks. Most importantly – delicious vegan curry! The curries change every few days so go in and have a chat with the owner :) He’s really interesting!

古本とバー、カレーのお店 店主さんは最低限の事だけしか話されませんが、ここで提供されるベジカレーは最高に美味しいです 置いてある古本は雰囲気の通り、誰もが興味のもてるラインナップではないかもしれませんが私には刺さりました

雰囲気良さそうなお店を発見。 案内に従って探すけど、近くまで来たけどお店が見つからず、Googleマップがぐるぐるマップに 付近をぐるぐる回ってたらそれらしいお店を発見! 薄暗い店内をおっかなびっくり覗くけどお店の人がいない。 仕方なく奥に向かって声をかけたら出てきた! 13時過ぎてたのでランチできるか尋ねるとできるとのこと。 単品カレーとカレープレートがあったけど、せっかくなのでプレートに。 しばらくするとカレープレートが出て来た。 今日はごぼうカレー。黒い。 ほどよい辛さとスパイスで美味。 不思議な音楽と空間に包まれての食事は非日常感があって良かった。 また行きたい。
