Pontocho Yakuzen Curry is a tiny Japanese curry restaurant known for its spicy and savory curry dishes, including a dedicated vegan curry option served with edamame beans. The intimate setting seats fewer than 10 people and features a casual bar-like atmosphere where the friendly owner prepares meals in front of guests. Located in a small alley marked by a yellow bench, the venue is cash-only and provides an English menu to ease ordering, making it a worthwhile stop for lunch or dinner despite its elusive location.
