We stumbled across this lovely place for fresh curries while doing the temple tour in NW Kyoto. Lunch was really, really delicious - wonderful curry, a heap of rice and your choice of beverage for a reasonable 1,000 yen. There's a changing menu of 4-5 curries, veggie options available. The curry was fresh, fragrant, and just-spicy-enough, with options to upgrade the heat level. The husband and wife team were friendly and helpful. English menu available and the hostess spoke quite good English. Vegetarian (spinach on this occasion) friendly. Authentic, wonderful food in a small spot full of locals - - way better than all the tourist joints!!
