The alley next to the Takano Fruit and Vegetable Store at the north exit of Koenji Station leads to the “Dai-ichi Ichiba(Market)” drinking area, reminiscent of old markets.
Curry Shop Kujira in Dai-ichi Market offers “refreshing POP spice curry” in a small curry specialty shop.
The standard menu includes Chicken Curry, Pork Vindaloo, and Beef Keema Curry, available in single (1000 yen), double (1300 yen), or triple (1600 yen) servings.
Recommended Point
This small curry shop, quietly nestled in a spot that truly captures the essence of Koenji’s back alleys, offers an outstanding entertainment experience just by being there. The spicy curry served in such an atmosphere tastes even better.
In addition to curry, the shop offers spicy snacks and alcoholic drinks like spiced shochu highballs, as well as essential soft drinks like lassi and chai that go perfectly with curry.
The shop is marked by a whale logo illustrated by manga artist Hiroshi Ohashi.
