Sumatra Curry Kyoeido

• Just a 1-minute walk from the station on Yasukuni-dori Avenue, 'Sumatra Curry Kyoeido' is long-established, having been founded in 1918. As you go down the stairs of the building with a green billboard, you can see the store door on the right.
  
  Here, they offer an original roux-based curry from Sumatra, Indonesia that has been made to suit the Japanese taste palette. Their dark black roux, containing more than 20 different spices, is a rich dish that has simmered for multiple hours. The smooth potage provided entices you into a neverending cycle of sweet and spicy.

Curry Restaurant Bondy

• "Curry Restaurant Bondy" is located in an alley a few steps back from Yasukuni-dori Avenue after leaving the station. Their simmered fruit and vegetable roux is an exquisite gem with a masterful balance of spice and sweetness. The rich roux goes incredibly well with the melted cheese on rice. A tip is to mix the buttered potato with the curry before eating.
