Have you ever thought that the calorie content of curry is extremely high? I, too, have always thought so. Curry is strictly forbidden on a diet! It's just what the calories want you to eat! I had this image of curry as being very high in calories, but then I found out that there is a low-calorie curry in the world!


I couldn't believe my ears. How could curry be low in calories? I had lived for decades thinking that good food is high in calories.... And that curry was the original curry of M ouyan Curry, which has six branches in Tokyo!

I couldn't believe it, so I decided to go to Mou-yan Curry to find out for myself!

To Mouyan Curry 246 (Shibuya branch)

A 6-7 minute walk from Shibuya Station in the direction of Miyamasuzaka. I found an eye-catching message board. I've cooked some curry for you. You have arrived at Mouyan Curry.



That's right. Mouyan Curry is always ready and waiting for you (and me) with delicious curry simmering in the pot.

■The inside of the restaurant is full of exotic atmosphere

When you enter the restaurant... Wow! Where am I? With gorgeous floral leis and lamps hanging from the ceiling, it's like being in Hawaii!



Even though it was just before the end of lunch time, the restaurant was still crowded with customers. This is indeed a popular restaurant!

■The bookshelves are lined with comic books!

As some of you may know, one of the unique points of Mou-yan Curry is its bookshelves lined with a variety of manga. Even if you come to the restaurant alone, you can relax while reading manga while waiting for your curry.


Tapas" in spite of being a curry shop?

When you open the menu... What? "Mouyan Tapas"? The menu is supposed to be a curry restaurant, but to my surprise, they have tapas! There are more than 30 kinds of tapas! And all for only 500 yen!


Here's a story I overheard. This tapas is a new menu item created by the president of Mouyan Curry, who had an experience when he was eating at a restaurant and couldn't finish his meal because the portion was too large.

You can order it as a snack with beer, or order several items to share with friends. You can have a little bit of everything, so this menu is perfect for greedy girls!

So, I chose three items: "Cucumber Thai Style," "Marinated Scallops," and "Spicy Shrimp Stir-Fry. I can't stop being excited!

■Order the curry, the real thing!

Although I was completely enthralled by the tapas, today's goal was, after all, curry! So I decided to order the "Avocado Curry" (1,400 yen), which is popular among women, from the extensive curry menu.



At Mouyan Curry, you can choose the amount of rice (mori) and the spiciness of the roux. There are 6 levels of mori and a wide range of spiciness levels from 0 to 20, so you can customize the curry to your liking.


This time, the author chose "Normal mori (300 grams)" and "0 spiciness (medium spiciness level).

Enjoy tapas with beer first!

Before the curry arrives, fill your stomach with tapas. A big glass of beer with your curry is also a good idea!


The shrimp and scallops are so juicy and plump! The shrimp are seasoned with Moyan Curry's signature "20 spice" and the more you bite into them, the spicier and spicier they become. The scallops, on the other hand, are seasoned with a delicious bagna cauda-style dressing.



As you can probably tell just from looking at the pictures... Both are so delicious, I can't stop eating the next bite! More beer!

The dish that most firmly captured my stomach was the "Cucumber Thai Style". Crispy cucumbers are combined with Thai dressing and pak choi. The fresh aroma and sourness of the pak choi will make your mouth feel refreshed! It is an authentic "Asian taste" dish.


Curry is finally here! Avocado and Curry go well together!

Finally, the avocado curry has arrived! A whole avocado is floating in the thickly simmered roux. It looks like an ark floating on the golden ocean. Inside is tuna and diced onion with mayonnaise.


Fluffy, shiny rice topped with thick roux and avocado... Bon appétit!


The rich, slow-cooked curry and avocado go so well together! The rich "forest butter" makes the spicy roux taste even deeper and mellower. The exquisite taste and texture of the two overlapping and melting on your tongue is something you may only experience here.

What is the secret behind the low calorie content?

The secret is the low calorie content of the curry. The secret lies in the "ingredients" of the curry. In Mouyan Curry, plenty of vegetables are slowly simmered for two weeks, and the vegetable content is three times the normal amount (!). The curry is also rich in fiber, which is a key ingredient in the curry. As a result, the curry is rich in dietary fiber and the calorie content of the roux is only about 180 kcal per 100 grams, which is surprisingly low in the curry industry. I see!

One more thing. The oil used in the restaurant's preparation is all "olive oil. The president of Mouyan Curry is always pursuing new menu items and serving styles based on the ideas he has gained from his own experiences in order to make curry that is "healthier. By the way, the president says she lost more than 10 kilograms after eating Mouyan Curry!

Even a single woman can enjoy it!

Many women come to Mouyan Curry 246 (Shibuya branch) alone. More and more women come to Mouyan Curry 246 (Shibuya) after work to have a quick beer, eat a delicious curry, and relax a bit before leaving the restaurant. The atmosphere, which is neither too formal nor too casual, may be a factor in making "one-person curry" more familiar to customers.

With a more extensive menu, Mouyan Curry is a place you will want to stop by even more often. Why don't you enjoy the "curry that is worth remembering"?
