■ Enjoy a delicious curry while looking at the hawk
About a 15-minute walk from Kichijoji Station, "Falconer Chaya" near Inokashira Park is a falconer cafe run by a falconer . You can enjoy authentic food while looking at the hawk.Music box-like BGM is played at a modest volume in the calm atmosphere. No matter where you look, you can see the portrait of a hawk and the TV showing a video about the hawk. In addition, goods necessary for breeding were also sold.
The hawks are spending time in the hut that separates the cafe space from the wall. It is possible to take pictures and videos from the front of the glass without using a flash. I was stared back at my sharp eyes and was shocked for a moment, but when I looked closely, some children had adorable faces. I enjoyed the observation quietly so as not to stress the hawks.
I ordered the "Harris Curry (950 yen including tax)" recommended by the owner. It is a curry named after "Harris Hawk" which is a kind of bird of prey.
This is insanely good! With a deep taste, you can feel the taste of meat, the sweetness of vegetables, and the richness of spices. Watch the hawk while entwining the hot roux with the plumply cooked white rice. Something ... luxury ...
In a calm atmosphere, you can relax and enjoy the delicious curry with the occasional hawk flapping sound as BGM. "Hawk Takumi Chaya" is recommended not only for hawk lovers but also for adult dates. After taking a walk in Inokashira Park, there may be a date course to stop by here.
