Enjoy a different kind of spiced curry made by a persimmon farmer at Kaki and Spice Curry in Katsura, Kyoto.
June 21, 2023 open
Last June, "Persimmon and Spice Curry" opened in a residential area not far from Katsura Station, operating on Wednesdays only on a temporary lease basis. The restaurant is run by Mr. and Mrs. Nishida, the sixth generation of a farming family that has been in Kyoto for more than 100 years and produces Fuyu persimmons and bamboo shoots, which are specialty products of the Nishiyama area. In the course of farming, out-of-spec products are inevitably produced, such as damaged or misshapen products. After much trial and error, they came up with curry as a way to bring out the charm of these products, which are only a little inferior in appearance but taste the same, and to make effective use of them without waste.
The dish is a chicken curry with persimmon chutney, supervised by Ken Sakamoto, owner and chef of the Italian restaurant "cenci" (Sakyo-ku, Kyoto). This is a spiced curry with a different flavor, with chutney made from persimmons. It has a mild flavor that even those who do not like persimmons can easily enjoy, and you can also enjoy changing the flavor with the three side dishes that come with the set (home-made sauerkraut, pickled carrots with persimmon vinegar, and Indian yogurt salad raita with red onions).
Mr. Nishida not only delivers the deliciousness of ingredients, but also works to solve agricultural and regional issues through food and beverage. We cannot take our eyes off his future endeavors.
