If they could make it a little less salty, it would taste even better. Overall, it’s good. I chose the spicy option since I’m not a fan of sweet curry. They’re generous with the gravy, and both the chicken and pork are very crispy.

A popular curry rice restaurant located in the basement entrance of an old mixed-use building in front of Shimbashi Station. Its appeal lies in the convenience: simply purchase a meal ticket from the vending machine at the entrance, find an empty seat, and place your ticket on the table to order. In a way, this restaurant offers a taste that could be considered the pinnacle of Japanese curry rice interpretation. It features two basic curry bases: European-style and Indian-style. You can choose toppings to customize your dish as desired. The European-style flavor is a Japanese interpretation of British curry, while the Indian-style is a Japanese interpretation of authentic Indian flavors. It allows you to enjoy a taste shaped by Japanese sensibilities. It has a moderate level of spiciness, so it's not recommended for those who dislike spicy food or have sensitive stomachs.

I had a lovely chicken cutlet curry meal in Karikaru. It's a small restaurant in Shinbashi with a casual vibe. You order what you'd like before you enter the restaurant, give the staff your ticket, take a seat, and watch them make it right in front of you. All of the seats are around a counter facing the kitchen. I ordered the spicy curry with chicken cutlet and rice, and it was delicious. They put the curry in a gravy boat to pour on. It also came with some sides included. I ordered a draft beer, but they also pour water for customers when they enter. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Karikaru is a nice casual dining restaurant. Nothing fancy, just good curry at a good price. If I find myself hungry for curry in Shinbashi, I would definitely go again.

Good for quick simple but hearty curry! Price is ok, and i like the very simple vibe for a quick drink!

Let me tell you a story. For many a year I wondered the earth aimlessly. A lost soul. A roving spirit, searching for meaning in this cold, dark world in which we inexplicably find ourselves. I felt there had to be more. However that all changed on the fortuitous day that I made the best choice of my life - dining here. Believe me when I say, my visit to this esteemed culinary establishment guided me to the beacon of hope in the world - chicken katsu curry. Like a moth to a flame, as soon as I found myself in the environs of Shimbashi station, I felt a magnetic pull to Karikaru. Upon entering the aforementioned restaurant, my senses were lifted to levels previously thought impossible. As if I was stuck in a euphoric trance, I ordered a chicken katsu curry, and duly consumed it with all due diligence and resolve. My dining experience at Karikaru was nothing short of an absolute delight, one which I faithfully recommend to all weary travellers seeking a rejuvenating meal away from the bustle of one of Tokyo's busiest stations. Truly, you will not regret it, and if you're anything like me, it may just change your life.
