Located in Nakano Ward, Tokyo, Ken-chan Curry began in Sydney and is the first shop of its kind in Japan, specializing in chicken katsu curry (curry with a breaded, deep-fried chicken cutlet). It is known for a roux with a distinctive sweetness and depth, topped with a large chicken katsu that is crisp on the outside and juicy inside. The signature dish, the indulgent Ken-chan Curry (1,190 yen), lets you choose your rice portion from small all the way up to extra-large. You can also add toppings such as karaage (Japanese fried chicken) and cheese, and the shop offers a complimentary raw egg and iced coffee. Generous in volume and offering excellent value for the price, it has earned a loyal following.

Tucked away in the basement near the north exit of Nakano Station, JOJOLAPA Dining & Bar is a pan-Asian restaurant serving authentic Nepali cuisine. Its dal bhat set (a Nepali platter built around rice) has earned a strong reputation, bringing together lentil soup, achar (spiced pickles), sautéed spinach, and more for just 1,000 yen, with free refills on both rice and naan. The mutton curry can be ordered at any of five spice levels to suit your taste. Diners also praise the momo (Nepali dumplings) and dhido (a traditional buckwheat or millet staple) for tasting just like the real thing back home. Rounding out the experience, the warm and attentive hospitality of the staff wins consistent praise from those who visit.
