“ An amazing place with delicious Japanese curry and delightful jazz music. Perfect for lunch - we escaped from the rain and sat with a beer listening to the great music, eating steaming hot curry - dreamy. I don’t eat pork so I had the curry sauce with rice and added spinach - it would’ve been good to have another vegetarian option but the sauce was still delicious. ”
“ Very pleasant, relaxed atmosphere with beautiful jazz music playing gently in the background. Curry pork cutlet with egg yolk on the top was devine. Highly recommend. ”
“ Delicious curry. A little sweet and the perfect spice level. The tonkatsu was also a great pair. Great tasting and unique tsukemono. I almost ordered the same meal again after finishing it. The atmosphere was wonderful. Great music. The staff was very nice. A perfect meal ”
“ Highly recommend! The curry is delicious and the pork is so tender (and I usually don’t like pork). The staff was great (especially because we don’t speak Japanese). This place is great. ”

“ Was absolutely craving authentic kare katsu and wow this place was everything I needed. Service was welcoming and warm to someone travelling alone and I felt at home. The meal was delicious and the spicy sauce they had at the table made it superb I can’t recommend this place enough ”
“ Jazz + Curry = . Nice relaxing ambiance. Super flavorful curry packed with complex flavors. The achar, pickled daikon & ginger with Indian spices, and Kyoto made steak sauce was very delicious. Steak sauce had a little heat which built up. Kind staff and we got to watch them make the curry. The portion size is perfect too. ”
“ This restaurant caught my eye as I was walking to my hair salon in the area. I’m so glad I tried it- I will be adding this place to my rotation of favorites in Kyoto. The pork was incredibly tender and juicy, sauce was just the right amount of sweet and spicy, while the pickled vegetables side paired great with the dish. Staff are friendly and efficient. As other reviewers have mentioned, the ambience of the restaurant is noteworthy and adds to the pleasant dining experience.(Photo is the ヘレカツカレー with cheese topping) ”
