On May 24th, a new menu "Chicken and Eggplant Green Curry" was released at Matsuya. The price is 650 yen (tax included). I went to eat because I was curious about this place, which sings "Authentic Thai style".

The tray that arrived at the seat was filled with green curry, rice, and miso soup.

The ingredients are rugged on the smooth roux. You can observe chicken, eggplant, bamboo shoots, red & yellow paprika, zucchini, and mushrooms. The chicken and eggplant are especially big because they are on the menu.

Rice is regular rice (not Thai rice). There is a garlic chip on top.

First, check the taste of roux. First, the mellow sweetness of coconut milk, and then the rich taste of nam pla, and the complex spiciness spreads like a flower.

It's pretty spicy, and it's just a few mouthfuls. However, it is not a difficult level to eat. The spiciness is so good that it is well-balanced with the deliciousness that you will end up eating if you notice it while chasing after the taste.

Among the ingredients, eggplant is a hit personally! It's soft and soft, and when you chew it, the roux that contains the umami of eggplant oozes out. Delicious.

Chicken is thigh with skin. It is moist and soft, yet elastic, and has sufficient umami and responsiveness. The taste of roux is also familiar.

The garlic chips on the rice are also good. It is crispy and fragrant, and you can feel the umami of garlic.

One point, only the compatibility with miso soup was not good. The spiciness of the curry and the saltiness of the miso soup collide with each other, creating a taste that you don't really understand. It may be better to drink miso soup at once at the beginning or end than to drink it in between.

The green curry itself is very satisfying with its authentic taste. You can also get vegetables firmly. If you have a vague desire to eat Thai food, you should choose from the menu at a Thai restaurant, but if you are determined to eat green curry, choose Matsuya. Also ants. It is comparable to specialty stores.
