Nakano Beer Kobo - 中野区 日本

I came here because I was not able to visit the Sapporo location due to the 2 hour queue. In summary, it was OK. The Nakano location was quite empty when I came, which surprised me. I ordered the number 1 thing on their menu, the chicken and 9 kinds of veggies, original broth. The food came in less than 3 minutes, which was nice but also a bit concerning... anyways, the soup itself was OK, a bit lemony base to it. Broccoli was good. Rice was OK. I found my mind and tastebuds drifting to my favourite and what I still consider, after 5+ years in Japan, the #1 best soup curry in Tokyo (maybe Japan). All I’ll say about my favourite place is that they do not take reservations and there is always a queue, and the shop I’m thinking of is beside a hobby store that sells some sort of figurines. All in all, given the somewhat inconvenient location, I would probably not return here. If I’m to make a trip for some soup curry, I know where I’ll be going. That being said, if I lived nearby I might visit here from time to time...

Delicious Sapporo style soup curry. Not a very well known Japanese cuisine but definitely worth trying if you want something other than ramen and sushi. English menu is available.

Awesome! Wasn't sure what it would taste like but it was lovely and delicious. Got a side of fried chicken which was super tasty. Overall it was really enjoyable.

The cleanest and most spacious of the GARAKUs we've been to. No wait and food comes out just as fast. Vegetables were a bit hard to eat. The chicken leg tasted pretty good though. The meat slid off the bone and wasn't tough to chew. The braised pork was very tender and easy to chew too. Thumbs up on the meat.

Was so surprised to find this in Nakano, Tokyo. It tasted exactly the same as the one i ate at Sapporo, Hokkaido. The staff is extremely friendly. We came in around 3pm when their closing time is 3.30pm. Even though we stayed past the closing timing, they still serve us with smiles. And of course the food is delicious Will definitely come back here again.
