Piccolo Curry House
December 21, 2004
In Namba Walk, one of the longer underground shopping areas in Osaka, there’s a curry restaurant that’s quite peculiar. For one thing, there are weird stained glass windows. The most striking thing is how narrow the damn place is. Once you squeeze through the two “entrances” and sit on a stool, you’ll be backed up against the wall. The counter is about 40-50 cm in width. Behind the counter is the girl who’ll take your order and serve you. The other side of the restaurant is probably about a meter away. You can literally reach and touch the other side of the restaurant.
This place, Piccolo Curry, offers fairly cheap meals. I had a karaage chicken with curry and rice for 580 yen while a katsu curry will fetch 680. They serve hot food quite quickly at reasonable prices. Don’t expect good curry – they serve Japanese curry which is devoid of anything remotely spicy.
If you’re not too tubby, you’ll have no trouble fitting inside. This is another quirky Japanesey establishment.
Note the shopper behind me, in the shopping area. That windowy looking thing IS the front of the restaurant. Picture taken by Mikey.
