Kalpasi, the rumored Indian restaurant that has consistently ranked first in the Odakyu Line area, truly lives up to its reputation! To put it simply, the flavors are extraordinary and have completely redefined my concept of curry!! Here’s the menu for today:*I’ll share my thoughts on each dish one by one!*● Daal ● Lentil Soup The creamy texture of the lentils bursts through with a healthy flavor—absolutely delightful!!● Bera Ko Mas ● Lamb Curry In Nepali, it means lamb meat curry… There’s no gamey taste at all, and the spicy lamb broth adds a deep richness and wonderful spice to the curry!!● Machha Ko Jhol ● Fish (Sakura Masu) In Nepali, it means fish soup curry. This was the best dish! It was incredibly delicious!! I never expected the flavor of sakura masu (cherry salmon) to pair so well with soup curry… The refreshing spiciness of the soup curry combined with the essence of sakura masu evokes a hint of miso soup, which might instinctively appeal to Japanese palates…● Alu Tama Ko Tarkari ● Root Vegetables and Fermented Bamboo Shoots In Nepali, it means "spiced stew of potatoes and fermented bamboo shoots." The fluffy texture of the potatoes perfectly matches the natural sweetness of the accompanying carrots… It truly feels like a comforting home-cooked meal…● Sag Bhuteko ● Stir-fried Greens This is said to be the most classic Nepali dish… The spiciness of the spices pairs wonderfully with the greens! I never thought the bitterness of the greens would complement the spices so well…● Mix Achar ● Pickled Root Vegetables (Lactic Fermented) A traditional Nepali pickle. I believe this is something you can only taste here in Japan unless you go to the authentic places… The pickles are perfectly balanced with spices and the richness of olive oil!● Karela Ko Achar ● Bitter Melon Pickle (Non-Fermented) The bitterness of the bitter melon enhances the flavors, making it a perfect palate cleanser amidst this spice-laden meal!!● Bhat ● Jasmine and Basmati Rice Mix A rather firm mix of jasmine and basmati rice… But this firmness pairs exceptionally well with the runny soup of Machha Ko Jhol mentioned earlier!Dessert ● Pink Salty Caramel Ice Cream ● The sweetness and saltiness of the caramel, combined with Himalayan rock salt, create an ice cream that truly evokes a sense of "umami"… The ice cream melts just enough to give it a mousse-like texture—absolutely delicious…Overall, this has become one of my favorites recently! I had an incredibly happy time! Thank you! Less
