gurigura cafe

I had lunch at gurigura cafe in Shijo today.

"Guri and Gura" is a very popular children's book about two cute field mice as you can see the decoration in the shop.

The shop owner seems to like squirrels also.

This is GuriGura curry that I ordered. Deep fried okra, eggplant, and lotus root were sprinkled on slightly sweet but spicy beef curry. Chopped roasted nuts had a nice accent to the taste.

Their daily changing lunch sets were already sold out when I got there, unfortunately. (This photo is a lunch set I ordered last summer.)
