It attracts curry enthusiasts and spice aficionados from all over the country.The menu changes weekly, featuring South Indian meals, Sri Lankan rice and curry, Nepalese dal bhat, and Thai cuisine. Thanks to the meticulous spice crafting by the owner, Mr. Uchida, you can enjoy flavors that are even more refined than those found locally.Not only can you savor a single plate, but you can also indulge in a carefully curated course that includes appetizers, main curry, side dishes (such as poriyal and achar), and exquisite spice desserts and drinks.By mixing various side dishes and soupy curries over rice, the sweet, sour, spicy, and savory flavors intertwine, creating a unique sensation with each bite.Kalpasi operates on a reservation-only basis, offering only an omakase course with a one-drink policy (additional charge). Reservations can be made in advance through their official LINE account.I visited around 17:45 on a weekday, and the restaurant opened at approximately 18:02.The interior has a stylish bar-like atmosphere, with warm lighting that is not too bright.Jazz and classical music play in the background, and the large speakers hanging from the ceiling suggest a focus on sound quality.There are three counter seats, and the elevated table seating requires you to remove your shoes.

The meat is also very tender and delicious!The Miri Smaal (fish curry) is quite spicy and has a smooth, melting texture with the swordfish.All three curries are impressively delicious and truly commendable.Each of the side dishes is also quite tasty, showing the care and attention put into their preparation. The Tel Dala (stir-fried bell peppers and mushrooms) features plump enoki mushrooms. The Tenberado (okra) has a pleasant crunch. The Alabadu Ma (potatoes) is fluffy and moist. The Achaar (purple cabbage) is crisp. The Kirata (fried eggplant in coconut milk) is juicy and very tasty.I’ve heard that Sri Lankan curry is meant to be mixed together, so I usually mix everything at the end, but each dish here is so delicious that I didn’t want to mix them too much.The yogurt and Kitul Vani Gelato is incredibly delicious! It tastes like cheesecake ice cream.◆ Masala Chai, JPY 495I ordered the masala chai after the meal. It’s delicious, with a strong tea flavor that’s not overly sweet.The two other gentlemen at the counter were refilling their rice and curry. Is this a service for regulars? They were also drinking a lot.
