    This time, I made a special trip to Karii Honpo Mojiko Retro store to try one of Mojiko's signature dishes. The restaurant offers quite a few kinds of yaki curry. What makes it special is that the curry rice is baked in the oven, covered with plenty of cheese, and topped with a soft-cooked egg. It looked very tempting.

    When it arrived at the table, you could immediately smell its piping-hot aroma. The cheese on top was baked until slightly browned and fragrant, and it paired very well with the rich curry sauce underneath. Once I dug in, the soft-cooked egg mixed with the curry rice, and every bite was full of rich cheese and curry flavor, with many different textures. It was very filling and quite different from ordinary curry rice. If you have the chance to visit Mojiko, you really should try this local specialty!

    Got a post out of it, hehe
    I happened to eat there too〜and added shrimp
    But it was a little burnt〜just look at that meat
    Overall, the flavors were pretty strong〜and the cheese was stretchy
    Personally, I think trying it once was enough
    A little pricey, but it is in a tourist area〜
    And the location is really good

    It wasn’t until I arrived at Mojiko that I discovered there’s a local specialty here you can’t miss—yaki curry! It may look like ordinary curry rice, but baking it in the oven gives it a different flavor. Rich curry is poured over rice and topped with cheese, and some restaurants also add an egg. It’s baked until the surface is lightly browned and the cheese has melted, making it wonderfully fragrant and especially tempting. This dish is said to have originated in Mojiko in the 1950s, when a café heated curry rice in the oven and accidentally came up with this way of serving it. It gradually became a signature local dish. If you visit Mojiko, don’t forget to try this specialty and add a memorable food experience to your trip!
