Green Journey in Curry

Stepping into ‘HAVE MORE CURRY’, you’re first greeted by its exotic decor. What truly dazzles, though, is the abundance of green. The restaurant specializes in vegetable curry, combining the freshest vegetables with exclusive spices to create unique flavors. Take their popular ‘Chicken and Beans Curry Set’ – the thick vegetable broth in the chicken curry, paired with perfectly roasted chicken, not only retains its original taste but also enhances the overall flavor. The side dish, bean curry, is mild and slightly sweet, accompanied by golden turmeric rice made from selected Japanese rice, offering a sweet, non-greasy texture.

The ‘Minced Meat Curry’ (1050 Yen) features a base of turmeric rice shaped in a circle, topped with fried onions and fermented tomatoes, and crowned with fresh vegetable bits. Another highlight is the ‘Pork Curry with Fermented Vegetable Soup’ (1000 Yen), based on pickled cucumber brine. The menu is filled with creativity and novelty.

Culinary Philosophy of HAVE MORE

Hiroyuki Matsuzaki, the head chef, believes in ‘making vegetables the star’. Inspired by traditional Japanese curry, he infused many new elements, creating the distinctive style of ‘HAVE MORE’. His commitment stems from an encounter with a farmer friend, deeply moved by the natural taste of freshly harvested vegetables. Every dish uses a large amount of vegetables, with limited sugar and oil, and is gluten-free, making them body-friendly. Despite being mildly flavored, they never lack taste. Unique in its approach, the cuisine, although based on Indian dishes, breaks free from traditional confines, offering completely original creations. Mr. Matsuzaki, who lived in San Francisco, was deeply influenced by its culturally diverse and inclusive society. A travel enthusiast, he often visits various countries for new culinary inspirations, hoping customers can experience this diversity and exotic charm through HAVE MORE’s curry.

Incredible New Flavors!

Beyond the popular dishes, there are many other eye-catching new flavors. For instance, the ‘Baby Corn and Okra Turmeric Rice Set’ (1320 Yen) is quite unique, featuring seasonal okra and baby corn, along with stem turnip pickles, cucumber pickles, and the surprising addition of watermelon and bonito flakes. At first glance, one might question if it’s really curry, but the balanced spices and the tanginess of fermented vegetables blend harmoniously.

If you’re looking for more than just curry, but a place that respects its ingredients, ‘HAVE MORE CURRY’ is your perfect choice. Bring your friends for a culinary adventure on your taste buds!
