That might look rather plain above, but the menu said that the owner of this wood-paneled coffee shop (think: old school booths like Hoshino) originally ran a yoshoku place called Ginrei in Tokyo, and that this curry was "retro" from the Showa period. I wasn't really sure if that meant much, but it made me curious enough to try it.
It was thinner than I was expecting, and the square-shaped slices of beef inside there were a bit tough. But it was also more peppery than I thought it would be, and they gave a generous amount of rakkyo pickled leeks to go with it. Now if only I can find a quick fix to get rid of this hairy dragon breath that it fueled.
