Standing since 1988 in the competitive curry battleground of Jimbocho and Kanda, Curry Rice Specialty Store Ethiopia Honten is renowned for its heat level system, customizable from 0 to 100x. Even at 0x, it delivers a solid spice profile comparable to a standard medium-spicy curry, and regulars are said to gradually step up to 50x and 100x. The smooth, liquid curry sauce comes in varied choices that never fail to delight: Vegetable Curry packed with generous chunks of broccoli, eggplant, and shimeji mushrooms; tender, falling-apart beef; succulent chicken; or a mixed curry offering both meat and vegetables. Each dish is prepared individually upon order and takes a little time, but during the wait, skin-on steamed potatoes are served with free refills—a popular signature service that tastes great whether sprinkled with salt or dipped into the curry sauce. The rice portion is generous, earning support for its high satisfaction relative to the price. Centered around counter seats and completely non-smoking, the standalone building features an atmosphere reminiscent of a Showa-era coffee shop, making it easy to drop in casually for a solo lunch.
