Basically almost all the Japanese care for rice and curry, and I'm one of those people. I introduced a Go! Go! Curry! that was in Akihabara, and its curry was similar to the rice and curry we cook at home. But in my book authentic Indian curry is really different from those curry. For the past few years, we saw an increase in the number of Indian curry restaurants in my city and I've tried several of them.
You might think I had lunch on this day, but actually I had dinner. In the Kanto region, in which my city is, the sun sets around 7pm in June. So when I got out of this restaurant, it was still bright enough not to turn on the headlights of my car.
I saw a tapestry of Ganesha, which is one of Hindu deities. He is said to bring prosperity to your business. His head is just like an elephant's and he has four arms. He is also worshipped as the deity of academic achievements, so you might need a picture of him when you are in or graduate from school or college.
As some of you might know, this is naan and it should be baked with a tandoori. When it was put on the table it was so hot and juicy.
And as an additional dish, I ordered this tandoori chicken. I think any authentic Indian restaurants serve really good dishes, but honestly I often feel hungry only with curry and naan.
The curry I ordered was "butter chicken curry". I don't want to exaggerate, but I have to say this curry was better than any other I had ever tasted. I ordered the curry to be mildly spicy, so I wouldn't have needed any soft drink, but I also enjoyed this coffee.
I didn't think I had to speak English at this restaurant, but the waiter couldn't seem to get my Japanese, so I relied on the lingua franca, namely English. >.<
