A long-established specialty shop beloved by locals for years. 6:26 Owner Mr. Sato (43) arrives for work The interior retains the atmosphere from the founding days
with a retro ambiance throughout The first-floor space is about 16.5 square meters; the kitchen is about 6.6 square meters The previous owner, the grandfather Grandfather passed away in 2024 Staff) The owner took over the shop when he was 33? So 10 years ago, he was 33. That’s right. Grandpa said he wanted to close the shop, so I’d been persuading him for two years before taking over that I wanted to take it over. At first, he wouldn’t even listen to me, like he was turning me away at the gate. So it took me about two years to convince him. Preparing the curry sauce for the next day
Strain the broth made by simmering pork and vegetables Staff) Did you also inherit the curry flavor from your grandfather? I worked with him for about a year, learning how to make things. More than being taught, I learned by watching. He didn’t leave recipes or anything written down in a notebook, I’d ask when I didn’t understand something. Transfer it to the sauce made by grating vegetables and fruit. Staff) Do you let the vegetable sauce mature for a few days? I’d say about a day. Prepare the vegetable sauce for the next day. The ingredients are onion, apple, carrot. Garlic, ginger And a secret ingredient Plus tomatoes Grate everything and let it sit for a day. Red wine is also added. Cut each ingredient and place them in a container. Carrot Apple Add chutney to the container with the cut ingredients. Chutney is a jam-like, paste-shaped seasoning. We use chutney with raisins in it. Add the canned tomatoes. Resume making the curry sauce. Add the roux. Warm the strained bouillon. Add the bouillon to the pot containing the roux and vegetable sauce
and mix together Make two types of curry sauce: mild and spicy (Shop Owner) Since we see young children too,
we make sure to offer a mild option as well. Light the stove
and stir the pot continuously for about an hour. Staff) Did you name the shop after your grandfather because he liked Bhutan? We opened the shop 62 years ago. At that time, Grandpa didn’t know about the country called Bhutan. He just wanted to name it after a kingdom, so it became Bhutan. Staff) Did Grandpa train somewhere? Grandpa’s family home was also a Western-style restaurant. It operated from the early Showa period until the 1960s. Staff) So the curry served there was the base? We inherited the methods for making the curry and tonkatsu and brought them here. A carbonated drink with a pleasantly tingling kick
I had some guarana. Opened in 2024
Preparing curry sauce for the second location Staff from the second store come to pick up the curry. A limited-edition curry available only at the second store. Cooking rice. Carry the curry sauce, mixed for about an hour, upstairs Transfer to a tray and let cool Place the cooled curry sauce into a container It’s not that we’re just continuing the same taste We haven’t changed the ingredients or the method we’ve adjusted the balance to make it more palatable for modern people. Back then, it was a more yellow, thick and heavy curry, That’s fine too, but We’ve changed the balance It’s not the same Staff) Who’s our longest-standing customer? How many years? Since we opened. 62 years ago. We still have elderly patrons who’ve known us since the very beginning. Let it rest overnight to complete the curry sauce. Staff) Do you use the spices lined up here? The spices used when an order comes in. The spices used for finishing. They’re already in the base roux. Simmer the curry sauce for the day, which was completed after resting overnight Curry sauce for beef curry Carefully remove chunks of vegetables We only make beef curry The base roux is the same, but I strain it to change the texture. I go out to buy ingredients. Return from shopping Beef tendon for beef curry Heat the frying pan and sear the beef tendon Seared in a well-seasoned frying pan
Beef tendon rich with juices Once nicely browned, transfer to a pressure cooker Finish cooking using a pressure cooker Staff) What’s the ground meat for? This is for keema curry Season it first. Combine it with the spices and curry ingredients after the order comes in. Staff arrive for work Prepare tonkatsu Using pork leg meat Fillet cutlet Compared to katsu curry, we don’t serve as many pork tenderloin cutlets.
