Nestled in a quiet residential area of Chitose-Funabashi, the renowned restaurant "Kalpasi" has garnered immense support from spice cuisine enthusiasts across the country. I secured a coveted reservation for this reservation-only establishment and eagerly visited for the Sunday evening session.▽----------------------------▽○ Restaurant Name: Kalpasi ○ Tabelog Rating: 3.89 (as of 2026/08/02) ○ 6-minute walk from Chitose-Funabashi Station ○ Budget: JPY 5,000 per person ○ Address: 4-3-10 Kyodo, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, 1F ○ Payment Methods: Cash, QR code payments accepted (PayPay) ○ Business Hours: 1st Session: 18:00 - 19:40 2nd Session: 20:15 - 22:00 * Irregular business hours (check official social media for operating days) ○ Regular Holidays: Irregular △----------------------------△【Reservation Policy】 Reservation only 【Recommended Occasions】 Solo, with friends 【Crowd Status】 I reserved the 20:15 session on Sunday. The restaurant was fully booked due to its reservation-only policy. 【Order】 ● Today's Set Meal: JPY 3,300 ● Original Soda: JPY 770 → Lemon and spices 【Impressions】 The restaurant operates in two sessions, and I reserved the 20:15 slot. I waited outside and was allowed to enter right at the reservation time. The interior has a calm atmosphere, naturally heightening the anticipation for the experience ahead. The only option available is the set meal for JPY 3,300, with an additional drink requirement. The original soda, infused with the refreshing taste of lemon and the aroma of spices like cardamom, was delightful. The curry was served around 20:35. Today's curry featured a Sri Lankan-style set meal, beautifully arranged with rice and side dishes on one plate. The curry was served separately, including chicken, pork, and fish curries. I poured the curry over the rice and mixed it with the side dishes. Taking the time to savor each dish revealed a beautiful harmony of herbs and spices, the umami, sweetness, acidity, and refreshing spiciness of the ingredients. All the flavors were mild and easy to enjoy. Despite being authentic Sri Lankan curry, it also reflected the meticulousness of Japanese cuisine, resulting in a stunning dish. I was captivated from start to finish and polished off every bite. While it’s not a place you can just drop by due to its reservation-only policy, it’s definitely worth the effort to secure a reservation. I left feeling completely satisfied. It was a great meal!
