Tokyo Curry Lab

Roppongi, Akasaka & Around


Curry rice is Japan's version of baked beans on toast – a comfort food beloved of nearly all Japanese. This neatly designed outlet, tucked under the soaring spires of Tokyo Tower, serves a good variety of mildly spicy curry dishes. Its illustrated paper place mat makes a good souvenir.
