Curry rice is ubiquitous comfort food throughout Japan, and this shop does it in the style famous in nearby Mojikō: yaki-curry (baked with egg and cheese on top). Favourites include beef, pork or seafood curry, there are vegetable options, and traditionalists can also get non-baked curry. Look for the wood-panelled, faux-brick storefront in the shopping arcade.
