Tokyo Kanda Food: Michelin-Recommended Curry & Wine Beppin – Enjoy Easy Voice Menu Ordering

Located in Tokyo’s Kanda district, Curry & Wine Beppin has been recommended by the Michelin Guide for three consecutive years. This establishment offers not just food but a unique experience that warms both the body and soul.

The Unique ‘Beppin Curry’ with 20 Herbal Spices

The signature Beppin Curry is crafted from a house-made aromatic broth and more than 20 secret spices, resulting in a gluten-free curry that’s light on the stomach. This special curry includes eight vegetables slow-cooked in red wine, with an abundance of onions and medicinal spices that promote metabolism, leaving you feeling warm from the inside out.

The term “Beppin” originates from the Meiji era, when literary figures like Natsume Soseki used it to describe beautiful women. The name “Beppin Curry” thus symbolizes a special dish designed to make those who savor it more beautiful and healthy.

A Classic Choice: Beef Tendon Kashmiri Curry

For first-time visitors, the Beef Tendon Kashmiri Curry is a must-try. This dish features beef tendon stewed in red wine and spices, with a spiciness level that reaches the highest mark of 6. The curry blends the traditional flavors of Delhi with a European twist, offering a unique taste that intertwines spiciness and sweetness. The inclusion of rich vegetables like tomatoes, lotus roots, carrots, okra, and eggplant adds to the flavor and nutritional value.

When enjoying this dish, try dipping the rice into the curry to enhance the aroma of the red wine. This curry is not only a delicious treat but also an excellent choice for beauty and health. If you usually shy away from spicy food, challenge yourself to a level higher than you’re used to—you might be pleasantly surprised.

Recommended Pairing: Homemade Amazake Lassi

To balance the curry’s spiciness, the restaurant recommends its homemade Amazake Lassi. This lassi, with its rice malt texture, is milder and richer than the usual variety. It has a moderate acidity and just the right amount of sweetness, making it the perfect companion to the Kashmiri curry.

Curry & Wine Beppin was founded by Hiroshi Shiga, who has extensive experience in wine dining, including a stint at the famous Papermoon. Opened in August 2016 in Kanda Ochanomizu, this restaurant uses over 20 spices, such as cardamom, ginger, coriander, cumin, fennel, nutmeg, star anise, and cloves. The combination of these spices closely resembles certain traditional Chinese herbal formulas, making the curry effective in boosting metabolism and warming the body—a hit especially among health-conscious customers, particularly women.
