Deep inside a commercial building in Hommachi, opening only a few days a week: a plate of spice curry as colorful as a painting.

  • Split plate for contrasting flavors
  • Painting-like colorful presentation
  • Cream cheese tofu is a classic addition
  • Great for solo lunch
  • Numbered tickets reduce wait times
  • A hidden gem with 4 counter seats
  • All non-smoking, cash only

Quietly nestled down an alley on the 1st floor of a commercial building in Kawaramachi, Chuo Ward, Osaka, BOTANI:CURRY is a spice curry specialty shop open only 1 to 2 days a week. The signature Botani Curry is based on a chicken bone broth and domestic onions, featuring 3 kinds of keema curry with a flavor profile that shifts gradually from the sweetness of vegetables to a warming heat from the spices, earning wide acclaim. The split plate with shrimp curry, made using coconut milk and Japanese dashi, is separated by pickles and wakame seaweed; connoisseurs recommend eating it without mixing, savoring small spoonfuls to experience the evolving flavors. The plate lined with colorful vegetables is praised as looking like a painting, with additions like cream cheese tofu and pickled egg being customer favorites. Nearly 100 spice jars arranged on the counter give the space a laboratory-like feel. Thanks to a morning numbered-ticket system and attentive guidance, guests can avoid long waits in line. Offering 14 entirely non-smoking seats and accepting cash only, it welcomes many solo diners.
