Kesennuma Curry Special

Curry, with its aroma of spices, is sure to whet your appetite. In Kesennuma, many restaurants offer their own unique curry. When you come to Kesennuma as a tourist, you'll probably want to try seafood first, but if you're on a long trip or visiting repeatedly, you may find yourself wanting to eat curry for the "multipleth meal." Even though it's all called curry, there are a wide variety of dishes on the menu depending on the restaurant.
We will introduce you to restaurants in Kesennuma where you can eat delicious curry.

Nepalese and Indian cuisine Yeti

Yeti, a Nepalese-Indian restaurant, specializes in curry made by a Nepalese chef. The lunch set C (1,600 yen) is a hearty menu that includes your choice of two curries, tandoori chicken, shish kebab, salad, achar, naan, and saffron rice. It also includes dessert and a drink. The saffron rice, which pairs perfectly with the curry, is delicious, but the fluffy, extra-large naan is a Yeti specialty! Be sure to try it.

This is the "Barbecue Curry" (1,200 yen). The grilled vegetables and chicken give it a barbecue-like flavor. Of course, it's also packed with spices, so you'll want to eat it while sweating on a hot day.

Utsuwa to Kissa Nagame, a cafe located on Oshima Island in Kesennuma, has three types of curry on its food menu. The Butter Chicken Curry (3 yen) has a good balance of sweetness and sourness, and is a mild flavor that even children can enjoy. The ceramic dishes on which the food is served also add to its gentle atmosphere.

The "Green Curry" (1,050 yen) is made with coconut milk and the refreshing spiciness of green chili peppers. It's great that they have a selection of curries that both children and adults can enjoy.
